Answer:
(3)11
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that

We have to find the sum of positive roots of the equation.




Factor of 336
2,3,4,6,8,7,
Let x=2

x=2 is not the root of equation
x=-2

Hence x=-2 is the root of equation.
x+2 is a factor of equation.
x=3

Therefore, x=3 is the root of equation.






Positive roots are 3 and 8
Sum of positive roots=3+8=11
Option (3) is true.
Just so u know, ur output value is f(x) and ur input value is x
f(x) = -2x^2 - 3x + 5....when ur input value(x) is -3
f(-3) = -2(-3^2) - 3(-3) + 5 =
f(-3) = -2(9) + 9 + 5
f(-3) = -18 + 14
f(-3) = -4 <==
Let the number of half dollars be x,
number of quarters = x + 2
amount of half dollars = 0.5x
amount of quarters = 0.25(x + 2)
= 0.25x + 0.5
total amount = 0.5x + 0.25x + 0.5
= 0.75x + 0.5
0.75x + 0.5 = 11.75
0.75x = 11.25
x = 15
number of quarters = x + 2
= 15 + 2
= 17
There are 17 quarters and 15 half dollars.
To answer this kind of question, you need to insert the first equation into second equation or vice versa. The equation from the question should be:
1. 3 paperback books + 5 hardcover book = $80.10
2. 7 paperback books + 4 hardcover book= $100.65
It would be easier to convert the 1st equation into
5 hardcover book = $80.10- 3 paperback books
hardcover book= $16.02- 0.6 paperback books
Then insert it to 2nd equation:
7 paperback books + 4 ($16.02- 0.6 paperback books)= $100.65
7 paperback books + $64.08- 2.4 paperback books= $100.65
4.6 paperback books = $100.65- $64.08= $36.57
paperback book= $7.95
Insert paperback book price to the first equation to find the hardcover book price
3 paperback books + 5 hardcover book = $80.10
3 ($7.95)+ 5 hardcover book = $80.10
5 hardcover book = $80.10 - $23.85= $56.25
hardcover book = $11.25
Then one paperback and one hardcoverbook= $7.95 + $11.25= $19.20
