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.

The pattern starts at 2/14 and increases by 1/14 each node, so the next fraction is 6/14 which simplifies into 3/7

How do you anwser on cube root
12345 [234]

to answer on cube root we need to use the prime factorisation.

which means using only prime number and dividing the number by suitable prime number.

after find prime factorisation we know that cube root is 3th power of number.

so if we have same three number we need to take it as one because it is a cube root .

for example\sqrt[3]{5*5*5} =\sqrt[3]{5^3} =5.
