Farmer Hanson is putting together fruit baskets. He has 240 apples and 150 pears. What is the largest number of baskets he can p

ut together so that he can have the same number of apples and same number of pears in each basket considering no fruit is left out?

Answer: 30 baskets.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

You need to find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF).

240 (apples) = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5

150 (pears) = 2 x 3 x 5 x 5

GCF (240, 150) = 2 x 3 x 5

= 30

You can make 30 baskets containing 240/30 = 8 apples and 150/30 = 5 pears.

Complete the square to rewrite y = x2 - 6x + 15 in vertex form. Then state

love history [14]

Since $x^2$ is the square of x and 6x is twice the product between x and 3, the second square must be 3 squared, i.e. 9.

So, if we think of 15 as 9+6, we have

$x^2-6x+9+6 = (x-3)^2+6$

Which is the required vertex form. This form tells us imediately that the vertex is the point (3,6).

Since the leading coefficient is 1, the parabola is facing upwards (it's U shaped), so the vertex is a minimum.

Arrange these functions from the greatest to the least value based on the average rate of change in the specified interval.Tiles

Ugo [173]

By definition, the average rate of change is given by:

$AVR = \frac{f(x2)-f(x1)}{x2-x1}$

We evaluate each of the functions in the given interval.

We have then:

For f (x) = x ^ 2 + 3x:

Evaluating for x = -2:

$f (-2) = (-2) ^ 2 + 3 (-2)\\f (-2) = 4 - 6\\f (-2) = - 2$

Evaluating for x = 3:

$f (3) = (3) ^ 2 + 3 (3)\\f (3) = 9 + 9\\f (3) = 18$

Then, the AVR is:

$AVR = \frac{18-(-2)}{3-(-2)}$

$AVR = \frac{18+2}{3+2}$

$AVR = \frac{20}{5}$

$AVR = 4$

For f (x) = 3x - 8:

Evaluating for x =4:

$f (4) = 3 (4) - 8\\f (4) = 12 - 8\\f (4) = 4$

Evaluating for x = 5:

$f (5) = 3 (5) - 8\\f (5) = 15 - 8\\f (5) = 7$

Then, the AVR is:

$AVR = \frac{7-4}{5-4}$

$AVR = \frac{3}{1}$

$AVR = 3$

For f (x) = x ^ 2 - 2x:

Evaluating for x = -3:

$f (-3) = (-3) ^ 2 - 2 (-3)\\f (-3) = 9 + 6\\f (-3) = 15$

Evaluating for x = 4:

$f (4) = (4) ^ 2 - 2 (4)\\f (4) = 16 - 8\\f (4) = 8$

Then, the AVR is:

$AVR = \frac{8-15}{4-(-3)}$

$AVR = \frac{-7}{4+3}$

$AVR = \frac{-7}{7}$

$AVR = -1$

For f (x) = x ^ 2 - 5:

Evaluating for x = -1:

$f (-1) = (-1) ^ 2 - 5\\f (-1) = 1 - 5\\f (-1) = - 4$

Evaluating for x = 1:

$f (1) = (1) ^ 2 - 5\\f (1) = 1 - 5\\f (1) = - 4$

Then, the AVR is:

$AVR = \frac{-4-(-4)}{1-(-1)}$

$AVR = \frac{-4+4}{1+1}$

$AVR = \frac{0}{2}$

$AVR = 0$

Answer:

from the greatest to the least value based on the average rate of change in the specified interval:

f(x) = x^2 + 3x interval: [-2, 3]

f(x) = 3x - 8 interval: [4, 5]

f(x) = x^2 - 5 interval: [-1, 1]

f(x) = x^2 - 2x interval: [-3, 4]

Matthew ran 3/8 mile and then walked 7/10 mile. Which pair of fractions can he use to find how far he went in all? (A 15/40 and

Strike441 [17]

Before we could add these numbers, 3/8 and 7/10 need a common denominator. Both 8 and 10 go into 40.

8 goes into 40 five times
3/8= (3*5)/40 = 15/40

10 goes into 40 four times
7/10= (7*4)/40= 28/40

ANSWER: A) 15/40 and 28/40

Hope this helps! :)
