Answer:

The amount of acid in third container is =42%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given , one container is filled with a mixture that is 30% acid a second container filled with a mixture that is 50% acid and the second container 50% larger than the first .

Let, the volume of first container is = x

Then , the volume of second container = (x+ x of 50%)

= x + 0.5 x

= 1.5 x

Therefore the amount of acid in first container $=x \times \frac{30}{100}$ = 0.3 x

The amount of acid in second container $=1.5x \times \frac{50}{100}$ = 0.75x

Total amount of acid= 0.3x + 0.75x = 1.05 x

Total amount of solution = x+1.5x = 2.5x

The amount of acid in third container is = $\frac{1.05x}{2.5x} \times 100%$ %

= 42%

The vertices of a triangle are A(4, 1), B(9, 1), C(2, 5). What is the area of this triangle.

kiruha [24]

Hey there!

$\large\boxed{10u^2}$

Formula for the area of a triangle is (1/2)bh.

Base of this triangle is 5, height is 4.

Image attached.

Plug values into the formula:

A = (1/2)(5)(4)

Simplify.

A = (1/2)(20)

A = 10

Area of the triangle is 10 units².

Hope this helps!

If P(x) = ax 3 + bx - 3 and P(-1)-0, then the value of P(1) is:

sergey [27]

Answer:

(a) -6

Step-by-step explanation:

P(x) = ax^3 +bx - 3

P(-1) = -a-b-3 = 0
therefore a+b=-3
P(1) = a+b-3
P(1) = -3 - 3 = -6

An automobile dealer wants to see if there is a relationship between monthly sales and the interest rate. A random sample of 4 m

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

a) $y=-6.254 x +75.064$

b) r =-0.932

The % of variation is given by the determination coefficient given by $r^2$ and on this case $-0.932^2 =0.8687$ , so then the % of variation explained by the linear model is 86.87%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the following dataset:

Monthly Sales (Y) Interest Rate (X)

22 9.2

20 7.6

10 10.4

45 5.3

Part a

And we want a linear model on this way y=mx+b, where m represent the slope and b the intercept. In order to find the slope we have this formula:

$m=\frac{S_{xy}}{S_{xx}}$

Where:

$S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}{n}$

$S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}$

With these we can find the sums:

$S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}=278.65-\frac{32.5^2}{4}=14.5875$

$S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i){n}}=696.9-\frac{32.5*97}{4}=-91.225$

And the slope would be:

$m=\frac{-91.225}{14.5875}=-6.254$

Nowe we can find the means for x and y like this:

$\bar x= \frac{\sum x_i}{n}=\frac{32.5}{4}=8.125$

$\bar y= \frac{\sum y_i}{n}=\frac{97}{4}=24.25$

And we can find the intercept using this:

$b=\bar y -m \bar x=24.25-(-6.254*8.125)=75.064$

So the line would be given by:

$y=-6.254 x +75.064$

Part b

For this case we need to calculate the correlation coefficient given by:

$r=\frac{n(\sum xy)-(\sum x)(\sum y)}{\sqrt{[n\sum x^2 -(\sum x)^2][n\sum y^2 -(\sum y)^2]}}$

$r=\frac{4(696.9)-(32.5)(97)}{\sqrt{[4(278.65) -(32.5)^2][4(3009) -(97)^2]}}=-0.937$

So then the correlation coefficient would be r =-0.932

The % of variation is given by the determination coefficient given by $r^2$ and on this case $-0.932^2 =0.8687$ , so then the % of variation explained by the linear model is 86.87%.
