Answer:

  50 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Before drying, the cranberries have ...

  (100% -99%)(100 lb) = 1 lb

of "meat."

After drying, that represents (100% -98%) = 2% of the total weight. Then the total weight is ...

  1 lb = 2%·x

  x = (1 lb)/0.02 = 50 lb

The dried cranberries will weigh 50 lb.

The difference of any two negative integers is a negative integer
Vinvika [58]

Answer: look at the bottom

Step-by-step explanation:

Difference of two negative numbers may or may not be negative. It depends on the numbers taken as well as on the sequence in which they are taken. Then, a-b=b-a=0, (which is neither negative nor positive..!!!) So difference of two negative numbers may be positive, negative or even zero.

Use the discriminant to determine what type of roots the equations will have, and categorize the equations according to their ro
topjm [15]

Step-by-step explanation:

The discriminant of the quadratic equation ax^2+bx+c=0:

\Delta=b^2-4ac

If Δ < 0, then the equation has two complex roots x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt\Delta}{2a}

If Δ = 0, then the equation has one repeated root x=\dfrac{-b}{2a}[/tex If Δ > 0, then the equation has two discint roots [tex]x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt\Delta}{2a}

1.\ x^2-4x+2=0\\\\a=1,\ b=-4,\ c=2\\\\\Delta=(-4)^2-4(1)(2)=16-8=8>0,\ \bold{two\ distinct\ roots}\\\sqrt\Delta=\sqrt8=\sqrt{4\cdot2}=2\sqrt2\\\\x=\dfrac{-(-4)\pm2\sqrt2}{2(1)}=\dfrac{4\pm2\sqrt2}{2}=2\pm\sqrt2\\\\==============================\\\\2.\ 5x^2-2x+3=0\\\\a=5,\ b=-2,\ c=3\\\\\Delta=(-2)^2-4(5)(3)=4-60=-56

3.\ 2x^2+x-6=0\\\\a=2,\ b=1,\ c=-6\\\\\Delta=1^2-4(2)(-6)=1+48=49>0,\ \bold{two\ distinct\ roots}\\\sqrt\Delta=\sqrt{49}=7\\\\x=\dfrac{-1\pm7}{(2)(2)}\\\\x_1=\dfrac{-8}{4}=-2,\ x_2=\dfrac{6}{4}=\dfrac{3}{2}\\\\==============================\\\\4.\ 13x^2-4=0\qquad\text{add 4 to both sides}\\\\13x^2=4\qquad\text{divide both sides by 13}\\\\x^2=\dfrac{4}{13}\to x=\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{4}{13}},\ \bold{two\ distinct\ roots}\\\\==============================

5.\ x^2-6x+16=0\\\\a=1,\ b=-6,\ c=16\\\\\Delta=(-6)^2-4(1)(16)=36-64=-28

7.\ 4x^2+11=0\qquad\text{subtract 11 from both sides}\\\\4x^2=-11\qquad\text{divide both sides by 4}\\\\x^2=-\dfrac{11}{4}\to x=\pm\sqrt{-\dfrac{11}{4}}\\\\x=\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{11}}{2}\ i,\ \bold{two\ complex\ roots}

What is 81.016 rounded to the nearest tenth
BaLLatris [955]

81.0

Step-by-step explanation:

The tenth is the decimal directly to the right of  the period (.) Since the next number to the right is 1, you would round down, which is 0.
