Number of apples in pounds picked up by Keira = K
Number of apples in pounds picked up by Larry = L
Number of apples in pounds picked up by Gita = G
Total number of apples they picked all together in pounds = 8360
Now from the given question, we know
Number of apples picked up by Kiera = 2L
So
K = 2L
L = K/2
Again Kiera picked up 3 times as many apples as Gita picked.
So,
K = 3G
G = K/3
Now if we add all the apples in pounds picked up by the three of them.
Then
K + L + G = 8360
K + (K/2) + K/3) = 8360
(6K + 3K + 2K)/6 = 8360
11K/6 = 8360
11K = 8360 * 6
11K = 50160
K = 4560
Then
L = K/2
   = 4560/2
   = 2280
G = K/3
   = 4560/3
   = 1520
Now we can say that
Kiera picked 4560 pounds of apple
Larry picked 2280 pounds of apple
Gita picked 1520 pounds of apple

Consider the function below. (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.) f(x) = x3 − 27x + 3 (a) Find the interval of increase. (E
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

(-∞,-3) and (3,∞)  

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x³ − 27x + 3

1. Find the critical points

(a) Calculate the first derivative of the function.

f'(x) = 3x² -27  

(b) Factor the first derivative

f'(x)= 3(x² - 9) = 3(x + 3) (x - 3)

(c) Find the zeros

3(x + 3) (x - 3) = 0

x + 3 = 0      x - 3 = 0

     x = -3          x = 3

The critical points are at <em>x = -3</em> and x = 3.

2. Find the local extrema

(a) x = -3

f(x) = x³ − 27x + 3 = (-3)³ - 27(-3) + 3 = -27 +81 + 3 = 57

(b) x = 3

f(x) = x³ − 27x + 3 = 3³ - 27(3) + 3 = 27 - 81 + 3 = -51

The local extrema are at (-3,57) and (3,-51).

3, Identify the local extrema as maxima or minima

Test the first derivative (the slope) over the intervals (-∞, -3), (-3,3), (3,∞)

f'(-4) = 3x² -27 = 3(4)² - 27  = 21

f'(0) = 3(0)² -27 = -27

f'(4) = 3(4)² - 27 = 51

The function is increasing on the intervals (-∞,-3) and (3,∞).

The graph below shows the critical points of your function.

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

The Fullers can reach the national park

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The complete question is</em></u>

The Fuller family wants to drive to a national park. Some information about their trip is given in the  table below.

Distance to national park 515 miles

Car’s gas tank capacity 20 gallons

Average gas mileage for car 26 miles per gallon

The family wants to determine if they can drive to the national park using just one tank of gas in their  car. Determine whether the Fullers can reach the national park. Show your work or explain your  answer.

we know that

The Average gas mileage for the car is 26 miles per gallon

That means

With 1 gallon the car runs 26 miles

so

using a proportion

Find out how many miles the car runs with 20 gallons (one tank of gas)

\frac{26}{1}\ \frac{miles}{gallon}=\frac{x}{20}\ \frac{miles}{gallons}\\\\x=26(20)\\\\x=520\ miles

Compare with the distance to the national park

520\ miles>515\ miles

therefore

The Fullers can reach the national park
