A scientist has two acid solutions: Artesia, which is a $70\%$ acid solution, and Borromeo, which is a $20\%$ acid solution. (a) Find the amount of Artesia (in mL) that must be added to $500$ mL of Borromeo in order to produce a $60\%$ acid solution. (b) Find the amount of Artesia and Borromeo (in mL) that can be combined in order to form a $100$ mL solution that is $55\%$ acid. (c) Does there exist a combination of Artesia and Borromeo that is $80\%$ acid?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) 2000 mL

(b) 70 mL, 30 mL

(c) No

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Artesia is a 70% acid solution, and Borromeo is a 20% acid solution.

(a) Let x mL of Artesia is added to 500  mL of Borromeo to produce a 60% acid solution.

So, 70% of x + 20% of 500 = 60% of (x+500)

[tex]\Rightarrow 0.7 \times x + 0.2 \times 500 = 0.6 \times (x+500) \\\\\ \Rightarrow 0.7 \times x + 0.2 \times 500 = 0.6 \times x+0.6 \times500\\\\ \Rightarrow 0.7 \times x -0.6 \times x= 0.6 \times500- 0.2 \times 500 \\\\ \Rightarrow (0.7-0.6) \times x = (0.6-0.2) \times500\\\\\Rightarrow 0.1 \times x = 0.4 \times500\\\\[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow x = (0.4 \times500)/0.1=2000[/tex] mL.

(b) Let x mL of Artesia and y mL be combined in order to form a 100 mL solution having 55% acid solution.

So, x+y=100\Rightarrow y= 100-x

And, 70% of x + 20% of y = 55% of (100)\\\\

[tex]\Rightarrow 0.7 \times x + 0.2 \times (100-x) = 0.55 \times 100\\\\\Rightarrow 0.7 \times x + 0.2 \times 100- 0.2 \times x = 0.55 \times 100\\\\\Rightarrow 0.7 \times x -0.2 \times x= 0.55 \times100- 0.2 \times 100 \\\\\Rightarrow (0.7-0.2) \times x = (0.55-0.2) \times100\\\\\Rightarrow 0.5 \times x = 0.35 \times100\\\\[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow x = (0.35 \times100)/0.5=70[/tex] mL.

and y= 100-x= 100-70=30 mL.

(c)  Let x mL of Artesia and y mL of Borromeo be combined in order to make 80% acid solution.

And, 70% of x + 20% of y = 80% of (x+y)

[tex]\Rightarrow 0.7 \times x + 0.2 \times y= 0.8 \times (x+y)\\\\\Rightarrow 0.7 \times x + 0.2 \times y = 0.8 \times x +0.8 \times y\\\\\Rightarrow (0.7-0.8) \times x = (0.8-0.2) \times y\\\\\Rightarrow -0.1 \times x = 0.6 \times y \\\\\Rightarrow \frac {x}{y} = -6 \\\\[/tex]

As x and y are amount of Artesia and Borromeo, so x>0 and y>0

[tex]\Rightarrow x/y >0[/tex], so the negative value of x/y is not possible.

Ad the negative value of x/y is not so x/y=-6 is not possible, hence,  any combination of Artesia and Borromeo that is 80% acid solution is not possible.

76.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

C = 75°

Step-by-step explanation:

The interior angles of a triangle will always add up to 180°, so all we have to do is find the missing variable.  

To do this, we first add up the two angles we do know.

—> 65 + 40 = 105      

Now that we have the total of the other two angles, simply subtract 105 from 180.

—> 180 - 105 = 75

Step-by-step explanation:

Highest elevation = 1232 meters

Lowest elevation = -27 meters

The difference in elevation between the highest and lowest points will be:

= 1232 - (-27)

= 1232 + 27

Shel bought a $6,000 desk based on her income she can only afford to pay 600 per month The charge on the unpaid balance is 2% each month Calculate the balance outstanding at the end of month 2

Answers

Answer:

$5,030.40

Step-by-step explanation:

The balance outstanding at the end of any month is the due amount after adjusting for interest and loan repayment amount. The amount outstanding can be calculated as:

First month

Due amount = $6,000

Interest at 2% = $6,000*2% = $120

Loan repayment = $600

Reduction in balance = $600 - $120 = $480

Balance remaining = $6,000 - $480 = $5,520

Second month

Due amount = $5,520

Interest at 2% = $5,520*2% = $110.4

Loan repayment = $600

Reduction in balance = $600 - $110.4 = $489.60

Balance remaining = $5,520 - $489.60 = $5030.40

Hence, the balance outstanding at the end of month 2 is $5,030.40

The translation of the given question is

f (x) = - 8x− 4 what is the slope y and the position coefficient f (x) = (6x− 12): 3 what is the slope y and the position coefficient

Answer:

We need to determine slope and position coefficient which is the intercept.

f (x) = - 8x− 4   we know that f(x) is y

slope intercept form of the line

y = -8x -4

slope = -8

intercept = -4

similarly

f (x) = 6x− 12

y = 6x -12

slope =6

intercept = -12

An amusement park charges a $12 parking fee plus 25 per person. What is the total cost for 32 people?​

Answers

Answer:

The total amount for 32 people is 15.36

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that for 25 people is $12 so we need to find how much it would be for one person. you would need to divide $12 / 25. from this you would get 0.48, so for one person it's 48 cents. next you're going to subtract 25 from 32, this leaves you with seven people who aren't in a group of 25. you then multiply 7 × this equals to 3.36, add 3.36 to $12 and you'll get your total 15.36.

let f(x)= p+ 8/x-q. the line x=4 is a vertical asymptote to the graph of f. what is the value of q and p, if the y intercept is (0,4)?

Answers

Answer:

The value of q and p is 4 and -24  respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Being [tex]f(x)=\frac{p+8}{x-q}[/tex] , the line x=4 is a vertical asymptote to the graph of f(x).  The line r is an asymptote of a function if the graph of the function is infinitely close to the line r. That is, an asymptote is a line to which a function approaches indefinitely, without ever touching it.

Being a rational function that which can be expressed as the quotient of two polynomials, a vertical asymptote occurs when the denominator is 0, that is, where the function is not defined. In this case:

x - q= 0

Solving:

x= q

Being the line x=4 the vertical asymptote, then

4=q

Then the function f (x) is:

[tex]f(x)=y=\frac{p+8}{x-4}[/tex]

The y intercept is (0,4). This is, x= 0 and y=4. Replacing:

[tex]4=\frac{p+8}{0-4}[/tex]

Solving:

[tex]4=\frac{p+8}{-4}[/tex]

4*(-4)= p+8

-16= p+8

-16 - 8= p

-24= p

The value of q and p is 4 and -24  respectively.

By Using the Transformations of the parabola

[tex]y = -(x+5)^2+7\\y=4x^{2} +7\\y = -(x-2)^2+3[/tex]

Vertical Translation  move the graph vertically - up or down

[tex]y = x^2+ k[/tex]

Horizontal Translation move the graph horizontally - left or right

[tex]y = (x - h)^2[/tex]

Reflection in x-axis  

flip the graph over the x-axis, (negates the y-values of the coordinates)

[tex]y = -(x^2)[/tex]

Reflection in y-axis

flip the graph over the y-axis,(negates the x-values of the coordinates)

[tex]y = (-x)^2[/tex]

Stretch or Compress Vertically  

stretches away from the x-axis or compresses toward the x-axis

[tex]y = a .x^2[/tex]

| a | > 1 is a stretch;

0 < | a | <1 is a compression

Stretch or Compress Horizontally

stretches away from the y-axis or compresses toward the y-axis

[tex]y=\frac{1}{a} x^{2}[/tex]

| a | > 1 is a compression by factor of 1/a;

0 < | a | <1 is a stretch by factor of 1/a

Now, we have [tex]y=x^2[/tex]

4). Reflect over x-axis, shift to the left 5 units, shift up 7 units
