Answer: Andre picked 252 pounds of apples

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = number of pounds of apple picked by Jane.

Let y = number of pounds of apple picked by Andre

Let z = number of pounds of apple picked by Maria

Andre picks three times as many pounds as maria. It means that

y = 3z

Jane picks two times as many pounds as Andre. It means that

x = 2y

The total weight of the apples is 840 pounds. It means that

x + y + z = 840 - - - - - - - - - 1

We will substitute z = y/3 and x = 2y into equation 1

2y + y + y/3 = 840

Cross multiplying with 3

6y + 3y + y = 2520

10y = 2520

y = 2520/10 = 252

x = 2y = 252× 2 = 504

z = y/3 = 252/3 = 84

A country is planning to decrease government spending in order to reduce the national debt. If the outlined changes are put into
SOVA2 [1]

<u>Answer</u>

Graph D represents the national debt of the country over the next years.

<u>Solution-</u>

The country's debt will decrease exponentially by one-third each year.

Current debt is $60 billion.

This problem can be treated as an exponential decay problem.

The general exponential decay function is,

y=a(r)^{-x}

Where,

a = initial value,

r = rate of change,

-ve sign of x represents the decrease in value of y as x increases.

Here, the rate of change is 3 as each year the debt becomes on third, and initial value of debt is $60, so

y=60(3)^{-x}

Plotting a graph taking number of year on x-axis and debt on y-axis, we can generate a graph for this function.

Putting different values of x, we can get the values of y. So the graph must have (0, 60), (1, 20), (2, 6.66), (3, 2.22), (4, 0.74), (5, 0.24) points on it.

Option B and C are incorrect, as they do not start from 60. (they don't have (0,60) on their curve)

Between option A and D, curve in D has all the points on it. So D is the correct graph.

(0,-4),(1,0),(2,2) find a quadratic function in standard form for each set of points.
Sphinxa [80]
We are given the points
 <span>(0,-4),(1,0),(2,2)
The standard form a quadratic function (in terms of x) is
y = Ax2 + Bx + C
Subsitute the points
-4 = 0 + 0 + C
C = -4

0 = A + B - 4

2 = 4A + 2B - 4

Solve for A and B
A = -1
B = 5

The function is
y = -x2 + 5x - 4</span>
