Jayden has some dimes and some quarters. He has at most 25 coins worth at least $4.60 combined. If Jayden has 7 dimes, determine
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A dime is worth 10 cents. Converting to dollars, it becomes 10/100 = $0.1

A quarter is worth 25 cents. Converting to dollars, it becomes 25/100 = $0.25

Let x represent the number of dimes that Jayden has.

Let y represent the number of quarters that Jayden has.

Jayden has some dimes and some quarters. He has at most 25 coins. It means that

x + y ≤ 25

The coins worth at least $4.60 combined. It means that

0.1x + 0.25y ≥ 4.6 - - - - - - - - - - 1

If Jayden has 7 dimes, then

7 + y ≤ 25

y ≤ 25 - 7

y ≤ 18

Substituting x = 7 into equation 1, it becomes

0.1 × 7 + 0.25y ≥ 4.6

0.7 + 0.25y ≥ 4.6

0.25y ≥ 4.6 - 0.7

0.25y ≥ 3.9

y ≥ 3.9/0.25

y ≥ 15.6

All possible values for the number of quarters that he could have would be

15.6 ≤ y ≤ 18

Ray feeds his dog 0.12 kilogram of dry dog food each
Julli [10]

Answer:

The smallest bag that has enough food to feed his bag for one month

 = 3.6 kilogram

Step-by-step explanation:

The quantity of dry food Ray feeds his dog = 0.12 kilogram

So the quantity of food he feeds his dog in one month

    = 0.12 × 30              ∵ since 1 month = 30 days

    =  3.6 kilogram

The smallest bag that has enough food to feed his bag for one month

 = 3.6 kilogram

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

n=2

Step-by-step explanation:

2000 pounds = 1 ton 600000 pounds = X tons Hence X tons = (600000 x 1) ÷ 2000 = 300 tons 3 x 10ⁿ = 300 Hence 3 x 10ⁿ = 3 x 10² Hence n= 2

Consider the vibrating system described by the initial value problem. (A computer algebra system is recommended.) u'' + u = 8 co
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

  u(t)  = -(3 + w^2 ) cos t /(1- w^2)cos t + 7 sin t + 8 cos wt /(1- w^2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The characteristic equation is     k²+1 = 0,⇒k²=−1,⇒ k=±i.

the roots are k = i or -i

the solution has the form  u(x)=C₁cosx+C₂sinx.

Using undetermined coefficient method

Uc(t) = Pcos wt  + Qsin wt

Uc’(t) = -Pwsin wt  + Qwcos wt

Uc’’(t) = -Pw^2cos wt  - Qw^2sin wt

U’’ + u = 8cos wt

-Pw^2cos wt  - Qw^2sin wt + Pcos wt  + Qsin wt = 8cos wt

(-Pw^2 + P) cos wt   + (- Qw^2 + Q ) sin wt = 8cos wt

-Pw^2 + P = 8  which implies P= 8  /(1- w^2)

- Qw^2 + Q = 8 which implies Q = 0

Uc(t) = Pcos wt  + Qsin wt = 8 cos wt /(1- w^2)

U(t) = uh(t ) + Uc(t)

     = C1cos t + c2 sin t + 8 cos wt /(1- w^2)

Initial value problem

U(0) = C1cos(0) + c2 sin (0) + 8 cos (0) /(1- w^2)

C1 + 8 /(1- w^2) = 5

C1 = 5 -8 /(1- w^2) = -(3 + w^2 ) /(1- w^2)

U’(t) = -C1 sin t + c2 cos t - 8 w sin wt /(1- w^2)

U’(0) = -C1 sin (0) + c2 cos (0) - 8 w sin (0) /(1- w^2) = 7

 c2 = 7

  u(t)  = -(3 + w^2 ) cos t /(1- w^2)cos t + 7 sin t + 8 cos wt /(1- w^2)
