Let's make a system of equations to solve for this:

n + q = 84

0.05n + 0.25q = 12.80

where n = nickels and q = quarters.

---

Solve for n in the first equation by subtracting q from both sides.

n = 84 - q

---

Plug n into the second equation.

0.05(84 - q) + 0.25q = 12.80

Distribute 0.05 inside the parentheses.

4.2 - 0.05q + 0.25q = 12.80

Combine like terms.

4.2 + 0.2q = 12.80

Subtract 4.2 from both sides.

0.2q = 8.6

Divide both sides by 0.2.

q = 43

---

Plug 43 for q in the first equation.

n + (43) = 84

Subtract 43 from both sides.

n = 41

---

There are 41 nickels and 43 quarters in the piggy bank. ✅

Ghella [55]

The roots of the polynomial <span><span>x^3 </span>− 2<span>x^2 </span>− 4x + 2</span> are:

<span><span>x1 </span>= 0.42801</span>

<span><span>x2 </span>= −1.51414</span>

<span><span>x3 </span>= 3.08613</span>


x1 and x2 are in the desired interval [-2, 2]

f'(x) = 3x^2 - 4x - 4

so we have:

3x^2 - 4x - 4 = 0

<span>x = ( 4 +- </span><span>√(16 + 48) </span>)/6

x_1 = -4/6 = -0.66

x_ 2 = 2

According to Rolle's theorem, we have one point in between:

x1 = 0.42801 and x2 = −1.51414

where f'(x) = 0, and that is <span>x_1 = -0.66</span>

so we see that Rolle's theorem holds in our function.
