Answer:

  Pears:  30

Step-by-step explanation:

Constant:

  3x + 5x + 2x = 150

                 10x = 150

                    x = 15  

Multiply ratio with constant from above:

  oranges : apples

       3 * 15 : 5 * 15

            45 : 75       ==>               45 oranges: 75 apples

  pears : apples

   2 * 15 : 5 * 15

        30 : 75          ==>                    30 pears: 75 apples

Check:

45 oranges + 75 apples + 30 pears = 150 fruits

The graph of the function f(x) = -(x+6)(x + 2) is shown
Leokris [45]

Answer:

The function is increasing for all real values of x where

x < –4.

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

f(x)=-(x+6)(x+2)

This is a vertical parabola open downward (the leading coefficient is negative)

The vertex (h,k) represent  a maximum

The roots of the function (or x-intercepts) are x=-6 and x=-2

The x-coordinate of the vertex is the midpoint of the roots

so

h=(-2-6)/2=-4

The y-coordinate of the vertex is

substitute the x-coordinate of the vertex in the quadratic equation

k=-(-4+6)(-4+2)

k=-(2)(-2)

k=4

The vertex is the point (-4,4)

The function is increasing in the interval (-∞,-4)

The function is decreasing in the interval (-4,∞)
