Try Analysing The Information Like This, Step by Step;

1. We know that a full bag of 7 7/8 pounds and is $10.88.
2. Now we subtract the bad apples 7 7/8-1/18= a (now we have no bad apples).
3. Part 'a' answer will give you a no. in pounds.
4. Part 'b' - we have to find out $10.88/7 7/8 - 1/18 / 2 to give you the answer.

I hope this helps, sorry I couldn't really help you :)

Answer: Hello there!

We know that a bag of apples weighs (7 + 7/8) lb  and costs $10.88

But 1/18 of the apples are rotten, if we remove the rotten apples, we still have the other 17/18 portion of the bag to pay.

then; if the full bag costs $10.88, how much does it cost a 17/18 of the bag?

this is (17/18)*$10.88 = $10.28

Then if you remove 1/18 of the apples, the bag costs 10.28 dollars.

notice that I did not use the weight of the apples, in a lot of math problems you will have more information than the needed, and you need to know when the information is useful and when it is not.

PLEASE HELP, I’ve been stuck on this question for a whileIn the diagram, AB is divided into equal parts. The coordinates of poin
castortr0y [4]
AB is divided into 8 equal parts and point C is 1 part FROM A TO B, so the ratio is 1:7, with C being 1/7 of the way.  The ratio is k, found by writing the numerator of the ratio (1) over the sum of the numerator and denominator (1+7).  So our k value is 1/8.  Now we need to find the rise and the run (slope) of the points A and B.  m= \frac{5-9}{9-(-3)}.  That gives us a rise of -4 and a run of 12.  The coordinates of C are found in this formula: C(x,y)=[ x_{1} +k(run), y_{1} +k(rise)].  Filling in accordingly, we have C(x,y)=[-3+ \frac{1}{8}(12),9+ \frac{1}{8}(-4)] which simplifies a bit to C(x,y)=(-3+ \frac{3}{2},9- \frac{1}{2}).  Finding common denominators and doing the math gives us that the coordinates of point C are (- \frac{3}{2}, \frac{17}{2}).  There you go!

Which graph represents the function f(x)=x4+4x3−12x2−32x+64?
sp2606 [1]

f(x)=x^4+4x^3-12x^2-32x+64

The degree of f(x) is 4. Also the leading coefficient is 1 and it is positive

So  as x approaches infinity then y approaches infinity

as x approaches -infinity then y approaches infinity

The first and fourth graph goes up and it satisfies the above . so we ignore the second and third graph.

Now we check the x intercepts of the first  graph

x intercepts of first graph is -4  and 2

Plug in -4 for x in f(x) and check whether we get 0

f(x)=x^4+4x^3-12x^2-32x+64

f(x)=(-4)^4+4(-4)^3-12(-4)^2-32(-4)+64=0

Now plug in 2 for x and check

f(x)=(2)^4+4(2)^3-12(2)^2-32(2)+64=0

So -4  and 2  are the x intercepts that satisfies f(x)

Hence first option is the graph of f(x)=x^4+4x^3-12x^2-32x+64
