How much of a 14% solution of iodine should be added to 89 ounces of a 47% iodine solution to get a 29% solution

1 answer:

3 0

We have 89 ounces of 47% iodine.
We will add "x" ounces of 14% iodine to get a 29% iodine solution.
89 * .47 + .14x = .29 * (89 + x)
41.83 + .14x = 25.81 + .29x
16.02 = .15x
x = 106.80
So, we must add 106.80 ounces of 14% iodine to get a 29% iodine solution.
(for a total of 195.80 ounces)

For f(x) = 4x +1 and g(x) = x2 - 5, find (g/f) (x).

Softa [21]

Answer:

$\left(g/f\right)\left(x\right)=\frac{x}{4}-\frac{1}{16}-\frac{79}{16\left(4x+1\right)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x)=4x+1$

$g\left(x\right)=x^2\:-\:5$

(g/f)(x) = g(x) / f(x)

$=\:\frac{x^2\:-\:5}{4x+1}\:\:\:\:\:\:$

$=\frac{x}{4}+\frac{-\frac{x}{4}-5}{4x+1}$

$=\frac{x}{4}-\frac{1}{16}+\frac{-\frac{79}{16}}{4x+1}$

$=\frac{x}{4}-\frac{1}{16}-\frac{79}{16\left(4x+1\right)}$

Therefore,

$\left(g/f\right)\left(x\right)=\frac{x}{4}-\frac{1}{16}-\frac{79}{16\left(4x+1\right)}$

if 8 and 15 are two smallest values in a pythagorean triple, what is the largest value, c, in the triple

GaryK [48]

Answer:

c = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this problem.

The equation is a² + b² = c².

"a" and "b" are the length of the two shorter sides or values.

"c" is the length of the longest side or value, also the hypotenuse.

Since we know the two smaller values, we can <u>replace "a" and "b" with 8 and 15</u>. It does not matter which letter you decide to replace with which number.

Then<u> simplify and isolate "c" </u>to find the largest value.

a² + b² = c²

8² + 15² = c² Substitute "a" and "b". Square the numbers to simplify

64 + 225 = c² Add to simplify

289 = c²

√289 = √c² Square root both sides

√289 = c "c" will be isolated because √ and ² are reverse operations

c = √289 Put 'c' on the left side for standard formatting.

c = 17 Answer

Therefore the largest value, c, is 17 in the triple.
