During the first hour of operation the farm stand owner sold 15% of the apples he had. On the second hour he sold 20% of the rem

aining apples. On the third hour he sold 25% of the remaining apples, and so on, selling 5% more each following hour.
If during the second hour 25.5 kg of apples were sold, how many kilograms of apples will be sold during the fourth hour of operation?

Answer:

38.25 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of apples sold = x

Now, on the first hour he sold 15% of the apples i.e. he sold 0.15x kg of apples.

So, the remaining apples = x - 0.15x = 0.85x

Further, on the second hour he sold 20% of the remaining apples i.e. he sold 0.20 × 0.85x = 0.17x kg of apples.

Thus, the remaining apples = 0.85x - 0.17x = 0.68x

Then, on the third hour he sold 25% of the remaining apples i.e. he sold 0.25 × 0.68x = 0.17x kg of apples.

So, the remaining apples = 0.68x - 0.17x = 0.51x

Moreover, on the fourth hour he will sell 30% ( i.e. 5% more of 25% ) of the remaining apples i.e. he sold 0.30 × 0.51x = 0.153x kg of apples.

As, during the second hour, he sold 25.5 kg of apples.

Then, 0.17x = 25.5 i.e. x=\frac{25.5}{0.17} i.e. x = 250

Hence, during the fourth hour, he will sell 0.153x = 0.153 × 250 = 38.25 kg of apples.

To do this problem, you need to use a process called completing the square. Let me explain:  

To complete the square on the function f(x) = x² + 8x +13, first group the first two terms in (  )  and leave some space at the end as follows:
f(x) = (x² + 8x          ) + 13  Now our next step is to fill in the space and adjust our expression on the right hand side of the function.  To do this, we take half of the middle number 8 and then square it:  so 4² = 16 and we fill in our space inside the ( ) with this value 16;   
f(x) = (x² + 8x + 16) + 13  now what we have done is to increase the overall value of our expression on the right by 16, but we want the overall value to remain the same.  To fix this we simply need to subtract 16 at the end like this:  f(x) = (x² + 8x + 16) + 13 -16   we can simplify and get the following.
f(x) = (x² + 8x + 16) - 3   At this point we're almost done.. All we need to do now is to rewrite the what is in the parentheses in a slightly different form.  Here is what it will look like:  f(x) = (x + 4)² - 3  notice all I did was take the sum of the square root of x² and the square root of 16 originally in the (  ) to get then new expression inside the ( ) and then square that  ( )²

Now this is a nice form to have because you can get the vertex straight from this form.. IN FACT this is called vertex form or (h,k) form for short.  In general the form is f(x) = a(x - h)² + k  don't worry about the 'a'  for now.. you might see that in our case it is just 1 and will not effect our equation.  You only have to consider this if the original leading coefficient of the quadratic is not 1 to begin with...

So you can see that our vertex is (-4,-3)  
Hope this is helpful, but if you have questions let me know.

Please help What is the domain of the following function?
enot [183]

Answer:

Let's use these two sets given to explain what is the domain.

Each value from the left set is x, and from the right is f(x).

If we plug any x from the left set in the function, we'll get f(x)  that corresponds to it and that's exactly what the arrows are showing.

Domain of the function is, basically, a set of all values x can have.

In this case, it's easy to see, those are all members of the left set (-6, 1, 5, 8), but sometimes this set can have lots and lots of members, even infinity.
