Answer:

The amount of water must be added to this task = 60 cm^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let amount of water added = x cm^{3}

Then from the given conditions

A chemist would like to dilute a 90-cc solution that is 5% acid to one that is 3% acid. So

90 (0.05) = 0.03 ( 90 + x )

4.5 = 2.7 + 0.03 x

0.03 x = 1.8

x = 60 cm^{3}

Therefore the amount of water must be added to this task = 60 cm^{3}

One of the same-side exterior angles formed by two lines and a transversal is equal to 1/6 of the right angle and is 11 times sm
sergey [27]

One of the same-side exterior angles formed by two lines and a transversal is equal to 1/6 of the right angle and is 11 times smaller than the other angle. Then the lines are parallel

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that, One of the same-side exterior angles formed by two lines and a transversal is equal to 1/6 of the right angle and is 11 times smaller than the other angle.  

We have to prove that the lines are parallel.

If they are parallel, sum of the described angles should be equal to 180 as they are same side exterior angles.

Now, the 1st angle will be 1/6 of right angle is given as:

\begin{array}{l}{\rightarrow 1^{\text {st }} \text { angle }=\frac{1}{6} \times 90} \\\\ {\rightarrow 1^{\text {st }} \text { angle }=15 \text { degrees }}\end{array}

And now, 15 degrees is 11 times smaller than the other  

Then other angle = 11 times of 15 degrees

\text {Other angle }=11 \times 15=165 \text { degrees }

Now, sum of angles = 15 + 165 = 180 degrees.

As we expected their sum is 180 degrees. So the lines are parallel.

Hence, the given lines are parallel

Simplify the following expression by combining like terms.<br> 3x + 4x² - 7x+ 9x2
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

13x² - 4x

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 4x² - 7x + 9x² ← collect like terms

= (4x² + 9x² ) + (3x - 7x)

= 13x² + (- 4x)

= 13x² - 4x

A wire b units long is cut into two pieces. One piece is bent into an equilateral triangle and the other is bent into a circle.
mezya [45]
1. Divide wire b in parts x and b-x. 

2. Bend the b-x piece to form a triangle with side (b-x)/3

There are many ways to find the area of the equilateral triangle. One is by the formula A= \frac{1}{2}sin60^{o}side*side=   \frac{1}{2} \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2}  (\frac{b-x}{3}) ^{2}= \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{36}(b-x)^{2}
A=\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{36}(b-x)^{2}=\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{36}( b^{2}-2bx+ x^{2}  )=\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{36}b^{2}-\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}bx+ \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{36}x^{2}

Another way is apply the formula A=1/2*base*altitude,
where the altitude can be found by applying the pythagorean theorem on the triangle with hypothenuse (b-x)/3 and side (b-x)/6

3. Let x be the circumference of the circle.

 2 \pi r=x

so r= \frac{x}{2 \pi }

Area of circle = \pi  r^{2}= \pi  ( \frac{x}{2 \pi } )^{2} = \frac{ \pi }{ 4 \pi ^{2}  }* x^{2} = \frac{1}{4 \pi } x^{2}

4. Let f(x)=\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{36}b^{2}-\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}bx+ \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{36}x^{2}+\frac{1}{4 \pi } x^{2}

be the function of the sum of the areas of the triangle and circle.

5. f(x) is a minimum means f'(x)=0

f'(x)=\frac{ -\sqrt{3} }{18}b+ \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}x+\frac{1}{2 \pi } x=0

\frac{ -\sqrt{3} }{18}b+ \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}x+\frac{1}{2 \pi } x=0

(\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}+\frac{1}{2 \pi }) x=\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}b

x= \frac{\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}b}{(\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}+\frac{1}{2 \pi }) }

6. So one part is \frac{\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}b}{(\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}+\frac{1}{2 \pi }) } and the other part is b-\frac{\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}b}{(\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}+\frac{1}{2 \pi }) }
