Answer:
x=6
Step-by-step explanation:
h(x) = -( x-2)^2 +16
We want when h(x) = 0
0 = -( x-2)^2 +16
Subtract 16 from each side
-16 = -( x-2)^2 +16-16
-16 = -( x-2)^2
Divide by -1
16= ( x-2)^2
Take the square root of each side
±sqrt(16) = sqrt(( x-2)^2 )
±4 = x-2
Add 2 to each sdie
2 ±4 = x-2+2
2+4 = x 2-4 =x
6 =x -2 =x
since time cannot be negative
x=6
Let q and n represent the number of quarters and nickels respectively.
q=3n and .05n+.25q=1.6 These are the conditions in mathematical terms.
To solve, use the value of q from the first equation in the second equation to get:
.05n+.25(3n)=1.6 carry out indicated multiplication on left side
.05n+.75n=1.6 combine like terms on left side
.8n=1.6 divide both sides by .8
n=2, since q=3n
q=6
So Peggy had 2 nickels and 6 quarters.
The answer is 60. You can find this out by finding the least common multiple of 10 and 12, which is 60 because 10x6=60 and 12x5=60. Hope this helps :)
