4 1/4 lbs of onions = 1llb so there are 4 x 3 servings = 12 servings in 1 lb 6 servings in 1/2 lb total of 12+6= 18 servings you can also use ratio and proportion converted to decimals to eliminate fractions ,25/3= 1.5/x cross multiply .25x= 4.5 x=18 hope this helps

Let f(x)=x^2+6x−16.<br> Enter the x-intercepts of the quadratic function in the boxes.

Sauron [17]

$\underline{\underline{\large\bf{Given:-}}}$

$\red{\leadsto}\:$ $\textsf{}$ $\sf f(x)= x^2+6x−16$

$\underline{\underline{\large\bf{To Find:-}}}$

$\orange{\leadsto}\:$ $\textsf{ x-intercepts of the quadratic function }$ $\sf$

$\\$

$\underline{\underline{\large\bf{Solution:-}}}\\$

$\longrightarrow$ x- intercept is the point where graph of given function touches the x-axis,f(x) becomes 0 at the point where graph of given function touches the x-axis. Therefore, we would to solve x^2+6x−16=0 and find its root.
