For this case we have the following conversion:
 1 pound = 16 ounces
 Then we rewrite the sack weights:
 14 pounds 9 ounces = 14 9/16
 9 pounds 14 ounces = 9 14/16 = 9 7/8
 Then, we subtract both values:
 (14 9/16) - (9 7/8) = 4.6875 = 4 + 0.6875
 Rewriting:
 4 + 0.6875 = 4 + 6875/1000
 4 + 1375/200 = 4 + 275/40
 4 + 275/40 = 4 + 55/8
 Answer:
 
the weight of the potatoes wendy use for the potato salad is:
 
4 + 55/8 pounds

Find the linearization L(x) of the function at a. <br> f(x) = x3/4, a = 81
Zolol [24]

Please note that your x^3/4 is ambiguous.  Did you mean (x^3)  divided by 4
or did you mean x to the power (3/4)?  I will assume you meant the first, not the second.  Please use the "^" symbol to denote exponentiation.

If we have a function f(x) and its derivative f'(x), and a particular x value (c) at which to begin, then the linearization of the function f(x) is

f(x) approx. equal to  [f '(c)]x + f(c)].

Here a = c = 81.

Thus, the linearization of the given function at a = c = 81 is

f(x) (approx. equal to)  3(81^2)/4 + [81^3]/4

Note that f '(c) is the slope of the line and is equal to (3/4)(81^2), and f(c) is the function value at x=c, or (81^3)/4.

What is the linearization of f(x) = (x^3)/4, if c = a = 81?

It will be f(x) (approx. equal to)

The hypotenuse is NOT located across from the right angle<br><br> True or false
azamat

The statement, The hypotenuse is NOT located across from the right angle is false.

<h3>What is a right angled triangle? </h3>

A right-angled triangle is a type of triangle that has an angle that measures 90 degrees. The triangle has three sides. The hypotenuse is the longest side of a right-angled triangle. Other sides are the base and the length. The sum of sides in a a right-angled triangle is 180 degrees.

Please find attached an image of a right-angled triangle. To learn more about  a triangle, please check: brainly.com/question/9329354
