We need 84 gallons of 3% butterfat milk and (84 * 3) = 252 gallons of 7% butterfat milk to obtain 336 gallons of 6% butterfat milk.  

<h3>How to work with percentages?</h3>

Let x = number of gallons of 3% milk

Thus;

336 - x = number of gallons of 7% milk

Therefore;

0.03x + 0.07(336 - x) = 0.06(336)

0.03x + 23.52 - 0.07x = 20.16

-0.04x = -3.36

x = 84 gallons

We need 84 gallons of 3% butterfat milk and (84 * 3) = 252 gallons of 7% butterfat milk to obtain 336 gallons of 6% butterfat milk.

A quantity P is an exponential function of time I, such that P = 160 when t = 6 and P = 150 when I = 4. Use the given informatio
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

  • k = 0.032
  • P0 = 131.836

Step-by-step explanation:

Perhaps you want to use the points (t, P) = (4, 150) and (6, 160) to find the parameters P0 and k in the equation ...

  P(t)=P_0\cdot e^{kt}

We know from the given points that we can write the equation as ...

  P(t)=150\left(\dfrac{160}{150}\right)^{(t-4)/(6-4)}=150\left(\dfrac{16}{15}\right)^{\frac{t}{2}-2}\\\\=150\left(\dfrac{16}{15}\right)^{-2}\times\left(\left(\dfrac{16}{15}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}\right)^t

Comparing this to the desired form, we see that ...

  P_0=150\left(\dfrac{16}{15}\right)^{-2}\approx 131.836\\\\e^{k}=\left(\dfrac{16}{15}\right)^{1/2}\rightarrow k=\dfrac{1}{2}(\ln{16}-\ln{15})\approx 0.0322693

So, the approximate equation for P is ...

  P(t)=131.836\cdote^{0.032t}

And the parameters of interest are ...

  • k = 0.032
  • P0 = 131.836

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

42

Step-by-step explanation:

√2x-3-3=6

√2x-3=6+3

√2x-3=9

2x-3=9^2

2x=81+3

X=84/2

X=42

So value of X is 42

Eloise started to solve a radical equation in this way: Square root of negative 2x plus 1 − 3 = x Square root of negative 2x plu
andreyandreev [35.5K]
Here I copy the steps and indicate where the error is.

Square root of negative 2x plus 1 − 3 = x=> <span>this is the starting equation
</span>

√[ - 2x + 1] - 3 = x

Square root of negative 2x plus 1 − 3 + 3 = x + 3 in this step she added 3 to each side, which is fine

<span> Square root of negative 2x plus 1 = x + 3 <span>she made the addtions => fine</span></span>

Square root of negative 2x plus 1 − 1 = x + 3 – 1 due to <span>plus 1 in inside the square root, this step will not help</span>

<span> Square root of negative 2 x = x + 2 <span>wrong! she cannot simplify - 1 that is out of the square root with +1 that is inside the square root
</span></span>


<span>Then, from here on all is wrong, but she made other additional mistakes.</span>

(Square root of negative 2 x)2 = (x − 4)2 −2x <span> the right side should be (x+2)^2 which is x^2 + 4x +4 not (x-4)^2 - 2x</span>

Later she made a mistake changing the sign of -8x to +8x


Those are the mistakes. Finally, the global error is that she should verify whether the found values satisfied the original equation.
