The number of apples in the basket are; 24 apples

<h3>How to simplify simultaneous equations?</h3>

Let there be X number of apples and Y number of oranges.

Thus by the given ratio we can say that;

x/y = 3/8   -----(1)

(x — 1)/y = 1/3

3x — 3 = y   ----(2)

Substitute 3x - 3 for y in eq 1 to get;

x/(3x - 3) = 3/8

8x = 9x - 9

9x - 8x = 9

x = 9

Thus;

y = 3(9) - 3

y = 24 apples

Solving the quadratic function, it is found that the particle returns to the ground after 7 seconds.

<h3>What is the quadratic function for the particle's height?</h3>

The particle's height after t seconds is modeled by the following equation:

s(t) = -16t² + v(0)t.

In which v(0) is the initial velocity of the particle, which in this problem is of 112 ft/s, hence:

s(t) = -16t² + 112t.

The particle hits the ground when s(t) = 0, hence:

s(t) = 0

-16t² + 112t = 0

-16t(t - 7) = 0.

Hence the non-trivial solution is:

t - 7 = 0 -> t = 7.

The particle returns to the ground after 7 seconds.
