The amount in gallons of each milk containing 9% butterfat and milk containing 4% butterfat which must be used to obtain the desired 365 gallons are;

  • 219 gallons of 9% fat.
  • 146 gallons of 7% fat.

<h3>What quantity of each type of milk is required for the desired 365 gallon?</h3>

It follows from the task content that the quantity of each type of milk required to arrive at the targeted fat content and quantity of milk are to be determined.

Let x = quantity of 9% fat milk and

Let y = quantity of 4% fat milk

Therefore, by mass balance; we have;

x + y = 365.

Where; y = 365 - x.

Also, by fat balance; we have;

(9% × x) + (4% × y) = (7% × 365)

9x + 4y = 2555

Therefore, the two equations to be solved simultaneously by substituting y from the first equation into the second equation as follows;

9x + 4 (365 - x) = 2555

5x = 1095

x = 1095/5

x = 219 gallons.

Also, y = 365 - 219 = 146 gallons.

Determine if x-6 is a zero and find the quotiant and the remainder​
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

○ A. No, x = -6 is not a zero of the polynomial.

The quotient is x - 29, and the remainder is 234.

Step-by-step explanation:

[x - 3][x - 20] >> Factored Form

Obviously, this is not a zero. Now, to get the remainder, we have to plug in the vertical line of <em>x = -6</em> into its conjugate, meaning an expression with opposite signs, which is <em>x + 6</em>. This is the expression we divide the dividend by, so you will have this:

\frac{{x}^{2} - 23x - 60}{x + 6}

Since the divisor is in the form of <em>x - c</em>, using Synthetic Division, we get this:

x - 29 + \frac{234}{x + 6}

You see? You have <em>x - 29</em> in the quotient, and you have 234 as the numerator remainder.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.

Suppose sin(A)=-0.78. use the trig identity sin^2(A)+cos^2(A)=1 and the trig identity tan(A) = sin(A)/cos(A) to find tan(A) in q
Paladinen [302]

In quadrant IV, \cos(A) is positive. So

\sin^2(A) + \cos^2(A) = 1 \implies \cos(A) = \sqrt{1-\sin^2(A)} \approx 0.6258

Then by the definition of tangent,

\tan(A) = \dfrac{\sin(A)}{\cos(A)} \approx \dfrac{-0.78}{0.6258} \approx \boxed{-1.2465}
