While testing a new pesticide, an agricultural scientist uses two functions to predict the yields of two same-sized potato farms

that have different soil conditions. The scientist's predicted yield, in tons, of the first farm can be represented by the following function, where x is the liters of pesticide he uses per acre of the farm. His predicted yield, in tons, of the second farm can be represented by the following function, where x is the liters of pesticide he uses per acre of the farm. If the scientist uses the same amount of pesticide on the two farms, select the function that accurately represents the predicted combined yield from both farms.
f(x)= -2.43x^2+10.37x+9 and g(x)= -3.43^2+13x+25


A. h(x)= -5.86x^2 + 23.37x + 34
B. h(x)= -5.86x^2 + 2.63x + 34
C. h(x)= -x^2 + 2.63x + 16
D. h(x)= x^2 + 2.63x - 16

Answer:

A. h(x)= -5.86x^2 + 23.37x + 34

Step-by-step explanation:

If the scientist uses the same amount of pesticide on the two farms then the x's of the functions are the same.

Then, the combined yield h(x) of the two farms is just the yield of the first farm plus the yield of the second farm:

h(x)=f(x)+g(x).

Now, since

f(x)= -2.43x^2+10.37x+9

and

g(x)= -3.43x^2+13x+25,

then

h(x)= (-2.43x^2+10.37x+9)+(-3.43x^2+13x+25)

we add the coefficients of the  corresponding terms to get:

h(x)= (-2.43x^2-3.43x^2)+(10.37x+13x)+(9+25)

\boxed {h(x)=-5.86 x^2 + 23.37 x + 34.}

Which is choice A.

A square has a side of 5 ft. What is<br> the perimeter of the triangle?
luda_lava [24]

I'll draw it for you cause im nice.

Ok so if you have 5ft on a square, all the sides are 5ft.

That mean that if its in half, one of the sides will be 2.5ft.

Now you can add 2.5 + 2.5 + 5+5 = 15.

So its 15 ft.
