aining apples. On the third hour he sold 25% of the remaining apples, and so on, selling 5% more each following hour.

Answer:

22.95 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the farm stand owner starts with x kg of apples.

During the first hour, he sells 15% of the apples:

0.15 x

This means he's left with 85% of the original apples.  During the second hour, he sells 20% of the remaining apples:

0.20 (0.85 x)

= 0.17 x

He's sold a total of 15% + 17% = 32% of the apples, so he's left with 68% of the apples.  Continuing the pattern, the apples sold during the third hour:

0.25 (0.68 x)

= 0.17 x

He's sold 49% of the apples and is left with 51%.  The apples sold during the fourth hour:

0.30 (0.51 x)

= 0.153 x

If 0.17 x = 25.5, then x = 150.  So the apples sold during the fourth hour is:

0.153 (150) = 22.95

Without drawing the graph of the equation, determine how many points the given equation have in common with the x-axis and where

Remark
It's asking you to complete the square to find the vertex. 

Solve
y = -2x^2 + x + 3 Put brackets around the first 2 terms.
y = (-2x^2 + x) + 3    Pull out the 2.
y = -2(x^2 - 1/2 x) + 3 Be especially observant of the sign on 1/2x Divide the middle term's number by 2 and square it. 
y = -2(x^2 - 1/2 x + [(1/2) / 2]^2 ) + 3 [1/2 divided by 2 is 1/4. (1/4)^2 = 1/16; 2*(1/16) = 1/8
y = - 2(x^2 - 1/2 x + (1/4)^2 ) + 3 + 1/8
y = -2(x - 1/4)^2 + 3 1/8

Comment
Answer to your question. The maximum value (3 1/8) is above the y axis. That means the graph of the equation crosses the x axis twice. I'm going to include the graph because in answering the question, there is no harm in seeing the graph.

If |lm and m&lt;6 = 4x - 15 and m&lt;7 = x+30, then m&lt;6 =<br> 35<br> 45<br> 39<br> 15
pentagon [3]

Answer:

∠ 6 = 45°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠ 6 and ∠ 7 are alternate angles and are congruent, thus

4x - 15 = x + 30 ( subtract x from both sides )

3x - 15 = 30 ( add 15 to both sides )

3x = 45 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 15

Thus

∠ 6 = 4x - 15 = 4(15) - 15 = 60 - 15 = 45°
