. The oranges weigh twice the amount the apples weigh, and the pears weigh the rest. Which of the following expressions could be used to find the weight of the pears?
Answer Choices:
A) (4 1/2+4 1/2 *2) - 15
B) 15 - (4 1/2*2)
C) 15 - (4 1/2+4 1/2 *2)
D) 15 - (9*2)

Help appreciated

Answer:

B is most likely the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

4 1/2 * 2= 9 so 15-9= 6

Pears weight is 6 Ibs and

4 1/2 *2 would make the most sense

Determine whether −2 is a zero (root) of the function:
lianna [129]

Answer:

The answer to your question is No

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

function f(x) = 2x³ + x² - 10x - 12

To know if a number is a root of a function, evaluate the function on that number, if the result is zero, then that number is a root.

Substitution          

               f(-2) = 2(-2)³ + (-2)² - 10(-2) - 12

Simplification          

               f(-2) = 2(-8) + 4 + 20 - 12

               f(-2) = -16 + 4 + 20 - 12

               f(-2) = -28 + 24

               f(-2) = -4

-2 is not a root that the function.

The speed of the current in a creek is 2mph. A person can kayak 10 mi upstream in the same time that it takes him to kayak 14 mi
ad-work [718]

Answer:

  2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The relation between time, speed, and distance is ...

  time = distance/speed

For a kayak speed of k miles per hour in still water, the speed upstream is (k-2) and the speed downstream is (k+2). Over the distances given, the times are the same, so we can write ...

  10/(k-2) = 14/(k+2)

Multiplying by (k+2)(k-2) gives ...

  10(k+2) = 14(k -2)

  10k +20 = 14k -28 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  48 = 4k . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 28-10k

  12 = k

Then the time for 28 miles downstream is ...

  time = 28 / (12 +2) = 2 . . . . hours

It will take the person 2 hours to kayak 28 miles downstream.

Max observes the zoo and the library from a helicopter flying at a height of 400 times square root of 3 feet above the ground, a
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer: First option: 800 feet

Solution:

Height: h=400 sqrt(3)

Distance between the zoo and the point in the ground below the helicopter: d1=?

Distance between the library and the point in the ground below the helicopter: d2=?

Distance between the zoo and the library: d=?

d=d2-d1


tan 60°= h/d1

sqrt(3)=400 sqrt(3) / d1

Solving for d1:

sqrt(3) d1 = 400 sqrt(3)

d1= 400 sqrt(3) / sqrt(3)

d1=400


tan 30°= h/d2

sqrt(3) / 3=400 sqrt(3) / d2

Solving for d2: Cross multiplication:

sqrt(3) d2 = 3 [ 400 sqrt(3) ]

sqrt(3) d2 = 1,200 sqrt(3)

d2= 1,200 sqrt(3) / sqrt(3)

d2=1,200


d=d2-d1

d=1,200 feet - 400 feet

d=800 feet
