Answer:
50 lb
Step-by-step explanation:
Before drying, the cranberries have ...
(100% -99%)(100 lb) = 1 lb
of "meat."
After drying, that represents (100% -98%) = 2% of the total weight. Then the total weight is ...
1 lb = 2%·x
x = (1 lb)/0.02 = 50 lb
The dried cranberries will weigh 50 lb.
If you added more context then I would probably answer your question
Yo sup??
y=(x+4)(x-2)
to find the x intercept put y=0
0=(x+4)(x-2)
so either x=-4 or x=2
Therefore the graph intersects the x axis at -4 and 2
Lenght of x intercept=|-4-2|=6 units
y=(x+4)(x-2)
=x^2+2x-8
This is an upward opening parabola
To find the coordinates of the vertex we can apply the formula
(-b/2a,-D/4a)
b=2
a=1
D=b^2-4ac
=4-4*1*(-8)
=4+32=36
Vertex=(-2/2*1,-36/4*1)
=(-1,-9)
Hope this helps.
