A chemical company makes two brands of antifreeze. The first brand is 65% pure antifreeze, and the second brand is 90% pure anti

freeze. In
order to obtain 120 gallons of a mixture that contains 80% pure antifreeze, how many gallons of each brand of antifreeze must be used?

With amounts measured in gallons, let

x = amount of 65% antifreeze

y = amount of 90% antifreeze

1 gal of the 65% brand contains 0.65 gal of pure antifreeze; x gal would contain 0.65x gal. Similarly, y gal of the 90% brand contains 0.90y gal of pure antifreeze.

To obtain 120 gal of 80% antifreeze solution (which contains 0.80•120 = 96 gal of pure antifreeze), we must have

x + y = 120 … … … … … [total volume of antifreeze solution]

0.65x + 0.90y = 96 … [total volume of pure antifreeze]

Solve the first equation for y :

y = 120 - x

Substitute this into the second equation and solve for x :

0.65x + 0.90 (120 - x) = 96

0.65x + 108 - 0.90x = 96

0.25x = 12

x = 48

Solve for y :

y = 120 - 48

y = 72

mario62 [17]

Answer:

[34,54]

Step-by-step explanation:

-The empirical rule states that the 95% of the sampled observations will fall within two standard deviations of the mean for a normally distributed population.

Where:

  • 68% is the first standard deviation
  • 95% is the second standard deviation about the mean
  • 99.7% is the 3rd standard deviation about the mean.

-Therefore. the middle 95% interval is calculated as:

CI=\mu+2\sigma\\\\=44\pm 2(5)\\\\=44\pm 10\\\\=[34,54]

Hence, the interval is [34,54]

erica [24]
Here, number of bulletin board = 1
Artwork = 2/5 th, & math papers = 1/5

So, it would be: 1/5 + 2/5 = 3/5

In short, Your Answer would be 3/5 or 0.60

Hope this helps!

Find an equation of the parabola y = ax2 + bx + c that passes through (0, 1) and is tangent to the line y = 4x − 4 at (1, 0).
larisa86 [58]
We are given the following:
          - parabola passes to both (1,0) and (0,1) 
<span>          - slope at x = 1 is 4 from the equation of the tangent line </span>

<span>First, we figure out the value of c or the y intercept, we use the second point (0, 1) and substitute to the equation of the parabola. W</span><span>hen x = 0, y = 1. So, c should be equal to 1. The</span><span> parabola is y = ax^2 + bx + 1 </span>

<span>Now, we can substitute the point (1,0) into the equation,
</span>0 = a(1)^2 + b(1) + 1 
<span>0 = a + b + 1
a + b = -1 </span>

<span>The slope at x = 1 is equal to 4 which is equal to the first derivative of the equation.</span>
<span>We take the derivative of the  equation ,
y = ax^2 + bx + 1</span>
<span>y' = 2ax + b 
</span>
<span>x = 1, y' = 2
</span>4 = 2a(1) + b 
<span>4 = 2a + b </span>

So, we have two equations and  two unknowns,<span> </span>
<span>2a + b = 4 </span>
<span>a + b = -1 
</span><span>
Solving simultaneously,
a = 5 </span>
<span>b = -6</span>

<span>Therefore, the eqution of the parabola is y = 5x^2 - 6x + 1 .</span>
