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 house costs 36% more today than when it was built.If the cost of the house today is $333,200, find the cost when it was built.
LenKa [72]

Answer:

$245,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the intial cost = x

100\% + 36\% = 136\% = 1.36

1.36x = 333200

x =  \frac{333200}{1.36}

x = 245000

What is the quotient of 35,423 ũ 15?
My name is Ann [436]
Divide 35423 by 15 and round the answer down to a whole number, then you get 2361. If you subtract 15*2361 from 35423 you get the remainder 8. So answer C is correct.
