Answer: A

Explanation: The zeroes of f(x) are the value/s of x such that f(x) = 0. So, we need to find the values of x in the equation f(x) = 0.

Note that

f(x) = 0
⇔ x² + 3x - 10 = 0

By factoring into binomials, x² + 3x - 10 = (x + 5)(x - 2). Thus,

x² + 3x - 10 = 0
⇔ (x + 5)(x - 2) = 0
⇔ x + 5 = 0 or x - 2 = 0
⇔ x = -5 or x = 2

Hence, the zeroes of x are -5 and 2.

Brad has eight more nickels than quarters. Altogether he has $6.10. how many of each does he have

wlad13 [49]

Brad have 19 quarters and 27 nickels.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total worth of nickels and quarters = $6.10 = 6.10*100 = 610 cents

One quarter = 25 cents

One nickel = 5 cents

Let,

x represent the number of quarters.

y represent the number of nickels.

According to given statement;

25x+5y=610 Eqn 1

y = x+8 Eqn 2

Putting value of y from Eqn 1 in Eqn 2

$25x+5(x+8)=610\\25x+5x+40=610\\30x=610-40\\30x=570$

Dividing both sides by 30

$\frac{30x}{30}=\frac{570}{30}\\x=19$

Putting x=19 in Eqn 2

$y=19+8\\y=27$

Brad have 19 quarters and 27 nickels.
