(<em>q = quarters, n = nickles</em>)

<u>First, create your system of equations:</u>

   25q + 5n = 535 cents

   n = 2q - 5

<u>Second, Substitute for n:</u>

   25q + 5(2q - 5) = 535

<u>Simplify:</u>

   25q + 10q - 25 = 535

<u>Simplify to solve for q:</u>

   35q=560

   q=16

<u>Next, solve for n by plugging the value of q back into the equation:</u>

   n=2q - 5

   n=32-5

   n=27

There would be 16 quarters and 27 nickles.

What are the possible rational roots of the polynomial equation?<br><br> 0=2x7+3x5−9x2+6
RoseWind [281]

Answer: \pm\frac{1}{1}, \pm\frac{1}{2},\pm\frac{2}{1},\pm\frac{3}{1}, \pm\frac{3}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Rational Root Test.

Given a polynomial in the form:

a_nx^n +a_{n- 1}x^{n - 1} + … + a_1x^1 + a_0 = 0

Where:

- The coefficients are integers.

- a_n is the leading coeffcient (a_n\neq 0)

- a_0 is the constant term a_0\neq 0

Every rational root of the polynomial is in the form:

\frac{p}{q}=\frac{\pm(factors\ of\ a_0)}{\pm(factors\ of\ a_n)}

For the case of the given polynomial:

2x^7+3x^5-9x^2+6=0

We can observe that:

- Its constant term is 6, with factors 1, 2 and 3.

- Its leading coefficient is 2, with factors 1 and 2.

 Then, by Rational Roots Test we get the possible rational roots of this polynomial:

\frac{p}{q}=\frac{\pm(1,2,3,6)}{\pm(1,2)}=\pm\frac{1}{1}, \pm\frac{1}{2},\pm\frac{2}{1},\pm\frac{3}{1}, \pm\frac{3}{2}
