A metallurgist has one alloy containing 26% copper and another containing 69% copper. How many pounds of each alloy must he use

The pounds of alloy that contains 26% copper that would be used is  23.42 pounds.

The pounds of alloy that contains 69% copper that would be used is 29.58 pounds.

<h3>What are the linear equations that represent the question</h3>

0.26a + 0.69b = (53 x 0.5)

0.26a + 0.69b = 26.50 equation 1

a + b = 53 equation 2

Where:

  • a =pounds of alloy that contains 26% copper
  • b = pounds of alloy that contains 69% copper

<h3>How many pounds of each alloy should be in the third alloy?</h3>

Multiply equation 2 by 0.26

0.26a + 0.26b = 13.78 equation 3

Subtract equation 3 from equation 2

12.72 = 0.43b

b = 12.72 / 0.43

b = 29.58 pounds

a = 53 - 29.58 = 23.42 pounds

Olegator [25]

To find the gradient of a line we first hv to find the formula

so Gradient=√X1-x2and √y1-y2

((-2,1) and (0,-5)) line 1

line 2(0,-1) and (1,0)

first we will work for line 1

X1 is -2

X2 is -0

Y1 is 1

Y2 is -1

so y=x-1

so we substitute the values

1--1=-2--0

so,

1+1=-2+0

2=-2

-0

So the equation 1 line 1 is not true

we will now go to equation 2 line 2

the equation is 3x+y=-5

we substitute the values

3(-2--0)+1--1=-5

3(-2)+-2=-5

-6+-2=-5

-8= -5

group like terms

Ur answer should look like this -3

So the answer is 3x+y=-5

How do you convert percentages into decimals??
guapka [62]

Answer:

Divide a percent by 100 and remove the percent sign to convert from a percent to a decimal.

Example: 10% becomes 10/100 = 0.10.

Example: 67.5% becomes 67.5/100 = 0.675.

An object is heated to 100°. It is left to cool in a room that
stepladder [879]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Newton's Law of Cooling for this one.  It involves natural logs and being able to solve equations that require natural logs.  The formula is as follows:

T(t)=T_{1}+(T_{0}-T_{1})e^{kt} where

T(t) is the temp at time t

T₁ is the enviornmental temp

T₀ is the initial temp

k is the cooling constant which is different for everything, and

t is the time (here, it's in minutes)

If we are looking first for the temp after 20 minutes, we have to solve for the k value.  That's what we will do first, given the info that we have:

T(t) = 80

T₁ = 30

T₀ = 100

t = 5

k = ?

Filling in to solve for k:

80=30+(100-30)e^{5k} which simplifies to

50=70e^{5k} Divide both sides by 70 to get

\frac{50}{70}=e^{5k} and take the natural log of both sides:

ln(\frac{5}{7})=ln(e^{5k})

Since you're learning logs, I'm assuming that you know that a natural log and Euler's number, e, "undo" each other (just like taking the square root of something squared).  That gives us:

-.3364722366=5k

Divide both sides by 5 to get that

k = -.0672944473

Now that we have a value for k, we can sub that in to solve for T(20):

T(20)=30+(100-30)e^{-.0672944473(20)} which simplifies to

T(20)=30+70e^{-1.345888946}

On your calculator, raise e to that power and multiply that number by 70:

T(20)= 30 + 70(.260308205) and

T(20) = 30 + 18.22157435 so

T(20) = 48.2°

Now we can use that k value to find out when (time) the temp of the object cools to 35°:

T(t) = 35

T₁ = 30

T₀ = 100

k = -.0672944473

t = ?

35=30+100-30)e^{-.0672944473t} which simplifies to

5=70e^{-.0672944473t}

Now divide both sides by 70 and take the natural log of both sides:

ln(\frac{5}{70})=ln(e^{-.0672944473t}) which simplifies to

-2.63905733 = -.0672944473t

Divide to get

t = 39.2 minutes

The areas of the figures are 4(x + 1), 7(d + 4) and y(y + 3)

<h3>How to determine the total areas?</h3>

<u>The figure 1</u>

In this figure, we have

Length = x + 1

Width = 4

The area is calculated as:

Area = Length * Width

So, we have

Area = 4(x + 1)

<u>The figure 2</u>

In this figure, we have

Length = d + 4

Width = 7

The area is calculated as:

Area = Length * Width

So, we have

Area = 7(d + 4)

<u>The figure 3</u>

In this figure, we have

Length = y + 3

Width = y

The area is calculated as:

Area = Length * Width

So, we have

Area = y(y + 3)

Hence, the areas of the figures are 4(x + 1), 7(d + 4) and y(y + 3)
