7) (Extra Credit) A chemist needs to mix a 12 % solution with a 20% solution to obtain 180 ounces of a 15% solution. How many ounces of each of the solutions must be used? 12%________ 20%__________

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount of 12%

Let y be the amount of 20%

x + y = 180

x = 180 - y

x(0.12) + y(0.20) = 180(0.15)

(180 - y)(0.12) + y(0.20) = 27

(180)(0.12) - 0.12y + 0.20y = 27

21.6 + 0.08y = 27

0.08y = 5.4

y = 67.5 oz of 20% solution

x = 180 - 67.5 = 112.5 oz of 12% solution

Step-by-step explanation:

A math class with 12 boys and 16 girls, A science class with 15 boys and 20 girls and A band class with 75 boys and 100 girls have an equivalent ratio of 3 : 4.

What is Ratio?

Ratio is a concept in mathematics used to compare two things.

It is denoted by a : b.

A ratio can be represented as fractions also like a/b.

In the question, it is given that the ratio of boys to girls is 3 to 4.

A math class with 12 boys and 16 girls = 12/16 = 3/4An English class with 14 boys and 14 girls = 14/14 = 1A science class with 15 boys and 20 girls = 15/20 = 3/4A Spanish class with 20 boys and 15 girls = 20/15 = 4/3A band class with 75 boys and 100 girls = 75/100 = 3/4  

Hence A math class with 12 boys and 16 girls, A science class with 15 boys and 20 girls and A band class with 75 boys and 100 girls have an equivalent ratio of 3 : 4.

Solve the system of linear equations using any method you choose:
-6x + 3y = 18
10x - y = 4

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (x, y) = (1.25, 8.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

I choose to put these equations into reduced general form, then use the "cross multiplication method" to solve.

  2x -y +6 = 0

  10x -y -4 = 0

d1 = 2(-1) -10(-1) = 8

d2 = -1(-4) -(-1)(6) = 10

d3 = 6(10) -(-4)(2) = 68

Solutions are ...

  x = d2/d1 = 10/8 = 1.25

  y = d3/d1 = 68/8 = 8.5

The solution is (x, y) = (1.25, 8.5).

_____

Additional comment

I like a graphing calculator for a quick and easy solution. When the values are not integers, I like an algebraic solution to see what the exact values are.

__

The "cross multiplication method" is similar to Cramer's rule in that determinants of pairs of coefficients are computed. If you look up this method, videos will show you a variation that is slightly different. Here, we determined d1, d2, and d3 as the 2×2 determinant of the coefficients in adjacent columns of the array you get from the general form equations with the first column repeated:

  [tex]\begin{array}{cccc}2&-1&6&2\\10&-1&-4&10\end{array}[/tex]

In each pair, the determinant is the difference between the product of numbers on the down-diagonal and the product of numbers on the up-diagonal.

The determinants relate to the x- and y-values by ...

  1/d1 = x/d2 = y/d3   ⇒   x = d2/d1, y = d3/d1

There is a Vedic solution method for linear equations that is similar to this, but starts from equations in standard form. As a consequence, the cross-differences are done in a different order.

Standard form: ax +by = c

General form: ax +by +c = 0

A golfer is hitting a ball up a hill. The height of the hill is represented by the function
y = 0.125x. The height of the ball is measured by the equation
y = –16x^2+56x. How much higher will the ball be when it lands than when it was initially hit?

Answers

Answer:

3.49 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 0.125x

y = –16x^2 + 56x

Set the equations equal since the height of the hill

and the height of the ball must be the same

–16x^2 + 56x = 0.125x

Subtract 0.125x from both sides

–16x^2 + 55.875x = 0

Factor out x

x(–16x + 55.875) = 0

From the zero product rule

x = 0

and

–16x + 55.875 = 0

–16x = –55.875

Divide both sides by –16

x = 3.4921875

Diiference in height

3.4921875 - 0 = 3.4921875

3.49 ft

Molly needs to rent a car while on vacation. The rental company charges $19.95, plus 17 cents for each mile driven. If Molly only has $40 to spend on the car rental, what is the maximum number of miles she can drive?

Answers

Usually a company may charge a startup fee, is a charge for some things they need to do to start the service, in this case may just be paperwork, and it's $19.95, a fixed cost, and they're charging 17 cents or $0.17 for every mile driven, let's say that Molly is going to drive "m" miles, so the cost equation in "m" terms will be C(m) = 19.95 + 0.17m.

Now, we know she only has 40 bucks to spend, so, if she can keep her Cost to 40 bucks, how many miles can she go for?

[tex]C(m) = 19.95+0.17m\qquad \qquad \stackrel{\stackrel{cost}{\downarrow }}{40}=19.95+0.17m\implies 20.05=0.17m \\\\\\ \cfrac{20.05}{0.17}=m\implies 117.94\approx m[/tex]

now, if we were to round that up to whole miles, it'd be only 117.

In 1950, the group spent 23% of their budget on food. This has decreased
at an average rate of approximately 0.27% per year since then. Find a
linear function in slope-intercept form that models the percentage of total
spending, p(x), by the group x years after 1950.

Answers

The linear function that can be used to model this relationship is:

y = -0.27x + 23

A linear function is in the form:

y = mx + b

where y, x are variables, m is the rate of change and b is the initial value of y.

Let P(x) represent the percentage of total  spending x years after 1950.

Since In 1950, the group spent 23% of their budget on food, hence b = 23.

Also, this has been decreasing at 0.27% per year. Hence m = -0.27.

4.25 is the cost for 1 pound of Cheddar cheese

Let the cost of the equation be y as required from the question.

y = cost of the cheddar cheese

x is the weight value in pounds of the Cheddar cheese.

The equation can be best represented as

y = 4.25x

well, keeping in mind that to draw a line all we need is two points, now, the one drawn already has many points let's pick two off of it, hmmm (-1,4) and (-6,-2).

Now, let's recall that for inverse functions, the domain of the original is the range of the inverse and the range of the original is the domain of the inverse, what does that mean? heheh, well, it simple means that for any point on the original that is say (a , b), the inverse will have a point at the flipped version of it of (b , a).  So if the orginal has the points aforementioned above, then the inverse will surely have the points of (4 , -1) and (-2 , -6), and we can just draw a line through those.  Check the picture below.
