Answer:

8 pounds is needed for $7 \frac{3}{25}$ of dried peach .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the initial weight of the peach be x .

As given

While drying, peach loses 11% of its weight.

11% is written in the decimal form.

$= \frac{11}{100}$

= 0.11

Thus

Loses weight = 0.11x

weight of the peach after dried = Original weight - Loses weight

= x - 0.11x

As given

$Dried\ peach\ is\ 7 \frac{3}{25}\ lbs$

i.e

$Dried\ peach\ is\ \frac{178}{25} \ lbs$

Thus

$x (1-0.11)= \frac{178}{25}$

$x (0.89)= \frac{178}{25}$

$x = \frac{178}{25\times 0.89}$

$x = \frac{178}{22.25}$

$x = 8\ pounds$

Therefore the 8 pounds is needed for $7 \frac{3}{25}$ of dried peach .

Answer:

8 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

7 3/25=7.12

7.12 is 89% of x

x=8

Use synthetic division to determine whether the number k is an upper or lower bound (as specified for the real zeros of the func

mote1985 [20]

Solution:

The given Polynomial is :

$f(x) = 5x^4 + 4x^3 - 2x^2 + 2x + 4=5( x^4 + \frac{4}{5}x^3 - \frac{2}{5}x^2 + \frac{2}{5}x + \frac{4}{5})$

By Rational Root theorem the of Zeroes of the Polynopmial are:

$\pm\frac{1}{5},\pm\frac{2}{5},\pm\frac{4}{5},\pm1,\pm2,\pm4$

But , $f(\pm\frac{1}{5},\pm\frac{2}{5},\pm\frac{4}{5},\pm1,\pm2,\pm4)\neq 0$

So, no root of this polynomial is real.

Therefore, All the four roots of Polynomial are imaginary.

So, we can't say whether the number k=2, is an upper or lower bound of the polynomial $f(x) = 5x^4 + 4x^3 - 2x^2 + 2x + 4=5( x^4 + \frac{4}{5}x^3 - \frac{2}{5}x^2 + \frac{2}{5}x + \frac{4}{5})$ .
