Answer:

12lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the amount of apples you need, then:

x-0.14x= 10 8/25

0.86x = 10 8/25

(10 8/25) : 86 * 100 = x

x=12

Answer:

Total fresh apple needed = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, While drying apple loses 14% of its weight

<u>To find the fresh apple needed</u>

Let x be the total fresh apple needed.

Apple loses 14% of its weight. Final we need 10 8/25 lbs of dried apple

x - 14x/100 = 10 8/25

0.86x = 10 8/25

0.86x = 258/25 = 10.32

x = 12

The maximum value can be determined by taking the derivative of the function.

(dh/dt) [h(t)] = h'(x) = -9.8t + 6

Set h'(x) = 0 to find the critical point

-9.8t + 6 = 0
-9.8t = -6
t = 6/9.8

Plug the time back into the function to find the height.

h(6/9.8) = -4.9(6/9.8)^2 + 6(6/9.8) + .6
= 2.4

And I don't understand your second question.

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

No, the student's work is not correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Student expanded an expression, as shown.

-6(4x-\frac{2}{13} )

-6(4x)+6(-\frac{2}{13} )

-24x-\frac{12}{13}

To find : Is the student's work correct?

Solution :

The expansion of student is not correct.

Follow the below steps to get correct solution and student mistake,

Step 1 - Write the expression,

-6(4x-\frac{2}{13} )

Step 2 - Apply distributive property, a(b+c)=ab+ac

=(-6)(4x)+(-6)(-\frac{2}{13})

Step 3 - Solve,

=-24x+\frac{12}{13}

The student was mistaken in step 2 in solving the sign.
