Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We first have to write an expression for each of the types of coins in terms of one of them.  If he has 8 more dimes than nickels, let's call nickels "x".  That means that dimes is "x + 8".  The value of a nickel is .05, so the expression relating the number of nickels to the worth of the nickel is .05x.  The value of a dime is .10, so the expression relating the number of dimes to the worth of the dime is .10(x + 8).  The total value of these coins is 1.70:

.05x + .10(x + 8) = 1.70 and

.05x + .10x + .8 = 1.70 and

.15x = .9 so

x = 6

That means we have 6 nickels and 14 dimes.

Polynomials in the fourth degree are called quartic equations. In solving the roots of polynomials, there are techniques available. For quadratic equations, you use the quadratic formula. For cubic equations, you use the scientific calculator. But for quartic equations and higher, it is very complex. The method is very lengthy and can get very messy because you introduce a lot variables. So, I suggest you do the easiest method to estimate the roots.

Graph the equation by plotting arbitrary points. The graph looks like that in the figure. The points at which the curve passes the x-axis are the solution which are encircled in red.In approximation, the rational roots or zero's are -3.73, -1, -0.28 and 2.
