Answer:

weight of pears sold = 4.08 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

total weight of apples and pears = 6.8 kg

2/5 of this weight = apples

this means that if the total weight (6.8 kg) were divided into 5 parts, apples take 2 out of the 5 parts:

∴ weight of apples = 2/5 of total weight

weight of apples 2/5 × 6.8 = 2.72 kg

Therefore apples weigh a total of 2.72 kg

Therefore, since weight of apples + weight of pears = 6.8 kg

2.72 + weight of pears = 6.8

weight of pears = 6.8 - 2.72 = 4.08 kg

Select the answer choice below that represents 5.9 x 10-4 in standard notation.
PIT_PIT [208]
This means that you have to move the decimal point 4 decimal places to the left, as denoted by the negative sign. Thus, this would add 3 zeros before 5. The answer would be 0.00059.

I hope the explanation was clear to you. Have a good day.

Find the inverse function for f(x)=sqrt2x-6 picture below
Olenka [21]

Answer:

y = (x^2 + 6) / 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Original function: \sqrt{2x - 6}

To find the inverse of a function we have to switch the x and y values and solve for y again

x = sqrt (2y-6)

To get rid of a square root we square the square root so:

x^2 = 2y-6

Add 6

x^2 + 6 = 2y

Divide by 2

y = (x^2 + 6) / 2

A two digit number when read from left to right to right consiststs of consecutive integers. the nmber is six more than for time
Solnce55 [7]

I suppose you want to know such number. Since we have a two digit number consisting of two consecutive integers, the only possible numbers are:

12,23,34,45,56,67,78,89

Since we sorted all the cases out, we simply have to check which one satisfies the requirement. For each number, we'll write four times the the sum of its digits, and add 6, hoping to get the original number.

\text{Number: } 12,\ \ 4\times \text{sum of digits: } 12\ \ \text{plus six: } 18\neq 12

\text{Number: } 23,\ \ 4\times \text{sum of digits: } 24\ \ \text{plus six: } 30\neq 23

\text{Number: } 34,\ \ 4\times \text{sum of digits: } 28\ \ \text{plus six: } 34

So, the answer is 34.
