Answer:

23 dimes, 32 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>n</em> equal the number of nickels and <em>d</em> be the number of dimes. We can use the information given to create a system of equations, as follows:

The total number of coins (the number of nickels plus the number of dimes) is 55, giving us the equation n + d = 55.

The total amount is $3.90. Since each nickel is worth $0.05 and each dime is worth $0.10, we get the equation 0.05n + 0.10d = 3.90.

Multiplying the second equation by 20, we get n + 2d = 78. We can subtract the first equation to get d = 23. Substituting this into the first equation, we get that n = 32.

Therefore, there are 23 dimes and 32 nickels.

If f(x)=x2+10sinx, show that there is a number c such that f(c)=1000.
gayaneshka [121]
F(x) is continuous for all x.

Pick a point and show that f(x) is either negative or positive. Pick another point and show that f(x) is negative, if positive, or positive, if negative.

At x = 30, f(30) - 1000 = 900 + 10sin(30) - 1000 ≤ 0
Now, show at another point f(x) - 1000 is positive, and hence, there would be root between 30 and such point.

Let's pick 40.
At x = 40, f(40) - 1000 = 1600 + 10sin(40) - 1000 ≥ 0

Since f(x) - 1000 is continuous, there lies a root between 30 and 40, and hence, 30 ≤ c ≤ 40

What is the value of h in the figure below? In this diagram, BAD ~ CBD<br> (Help ASAP)
masha68 [24]
To get the value of h we use proportionality:
ΔABC is similar to ΔADB and is similar to ΔBDC this is because they are right triangles. This implies that there corresponding sides are equal. Hence:
AD=25-16=9
using Pythagorean theorem:
c^2=a^2+b^2
then:
AB^2=(h^2+9^2)
Also:
(BC)^2=(AB)^2+(AC)^2

=25^2-(h^2+9^2)

Also:
(BC)^2=(BD)^2+(DC)^2
thus
(BC)^2=h^2+16^2
hence combing the values for (BC)^2 we get:
25^2-(h^2+9^2)=h^2+16^2
simplifying we obtain:
625-h^2-81=h^2+256
putting like terms together
625-81-256=h^2+h^2
288=2h^2
thus
h^2=144
hence
h=√144
h=12 units
