Answer:

1) 2 lbs

2) 0.17 lbs

3) 9.5 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of sugar Ella has = 0.5 lbs

Let the amount of water she adds to make the solution = x lbs

So total amount of the mixture would be = (x + 0.5) lbs

Case 1: 20% syrup

20% syrup means the sugar percentage in the mixture should be 20% of the entire mixture. So, 0.5 should be 20% of (x + 0.5). In equation form this can be written as:

0.5 = 20% of (x + 0.5)

0.5 = 0.2(x + 0.5)

Dividing both sides by 0.2, we get:

2.5 = x + 0.5

x = 2 lbs

This means, 2 lbs of water should be added to make 20% syrup solution. So, total syrup she would have will be 2.5 lbs.

Case 2: 75% syrup

75% syrup means the sugar percentage in the mixture should be 75% of the entire mixture. So, 0.5 should be 75% of (x + 0.5). In equation form this can be written as:

0.5 = 75% of (x + 0.5)

0.5 = 0.75(x + 0.5)

Dividing both sides by 0.75, we get:

0.67 = x + 0.5

x = 0.17 lbs

This means, 0.17 lbs of water should be added to make 75% syrup solution. So, total syrup she would have will be 0.67 lbs.

Case 3: 5% syrup

5% syrup means the sugar percentage in the mixture should be 5% of the entire mixture. So, 0.5 should be 5% of (x + 0.5). In equation form this can be written as:

0.5 = 5% of (x + 0.5)

0.5 = 0.05(x + 0.5)

Dividing both sides by 0.05, we get:

10 = x + 0.5

x = 9.5 lbs

This means, 9.5 lbs of water should be added to make 5% syrup solution. So, total syrup she would have will be 10 lbs.

PLEASE HELP 10pts
Veronika [31]

Answer:

Hence the function which has the smallest minimum is: h(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given function f(x) as:

  • f(x) = −4 sin(x − 0.5) + 11

We know that the minimum value attained by the sine function is -1 and the maximum value attained by sine function is 1.

so the function f(x) receives the minimum value when sine function attains the maximum value since the term of sine function is subtracted.

Hence, the minimum value of f(x) is: 11-4=7 ( when sine function is equal to 1)

  • Also we are given a table of values for function h(x) as:

x    y

−2   14

−1   9

 0   6

  1   5

 2   6

 3   9

 4   14

Hence, the minimum value attained by h(x) is 5. ( when x=1)

  • Also we are given function g(x) ; a quadratic function passing through (2,7),(3,6) and (4,7)

so, the equation will be:

g(x)=ax^2+bx+cHence on putting these coordinates we will get:

a=1,b=3 and c=7.

Hence the function g(x) is given as:

g(x)=x^2-6x+15

So,the minimum value attained by g(x) could be seen from the graph is at the point (3,6).

Hence, the minimum value attained by g(x) is 6.

Hence the function which has the smallest minimum is h(x)

point b on the ground is 5 cm from point E at the entrance to Ollie's house. He is 1.8 m tall and is standing at Point D, below
enot [183]

Point B on the ground is 5 cm from point E at the entrance to Ollie's house.

Ollie is at a distance of 2.45 m from the entrance to his house when he first activates the sensor.

The complete question is as follows:

Ollie has installed security lights on the side of his house that is activated by a  sensor. The sensor is located at point C directly above point D. The area covered by the sensor is shown by the shaded region enclosed by triangle ABC. The distance from A to B is 4.5 m, and the distance from B to C is 6m. Angle ACB is 15°.

The objective of this information is:

  • To find angle CAB and;
  • Find the distance Ollie is from the entrance to his house when he first activates the sensor.

The diagrammatic representation of the information given is shown in the image attached below.

Using  cosine rule to determine angle CAB, we have:

\mathbf{\dfrac{AB}{Sin \hat {ACB}} = \dfrac{BC}{Sin \hat {CAB}}= \dfrac{CA}{Sin \hat {ABC}}}

Here:

\mathbf{\dfrac{AB}{Sin \hat {ACB}} = \dfrac{BC}{Sin \hat {CAB}}}

\mathbf{\dfrac{4.5}{Sin \hat {15^0}} = \dfrac{6}{Sin \hat {CAB}}}

\mathbf{Sin \hat {CAB} = \dfrac{Sin 15 \times 6}{4.5}}

\mathbf{Sin \hat {CAB} = \dfrac{0.2588 \times 6}{4.5}}

\mathbf{Sin \hat {CAB} = 0.3451}

∠CAB = Sin⁻¹ (0.3451)

∠CAB = 20.19⁰

From the diagram attached;

  • assuming we have an imaginary position at the base of Ollie Standing point called point F when Ollie first activates the sensor;          

Then, we can say:

∠CBD = ∠GBF

∠GBF = (CAB + ACB)      

(because the exterior angles of a Δ is the sum of the two interior angles.

∠GBF = 15° + 20.19°

∠GBF = 35.19°

Using the trigonometric function for the tangent of an angle.

\mathbf{Tan \theta = \dfrac{GF}{BF}}

\mathbf{Tan \ 35.19  = \dfrac{1.8 \ m }{BF}}

\mathbf{BF  = \dfrac{1.8 \ m }{Tan \ 35.19}}

\mathbf{BF  = \dfrac{1.8 \ m }{0.7052}}

BF = 2.55 m

Finally, the distance of Ollie║FE║ from the entrance of his bouse is:

= 5 - 2.55 m

= 2.45 m

Therefore, we can conclude that Ollie is at a distance of 2.45 m from the entrance to his house when he first activates the sensor.

The function f(t)=5tan2t does not have an amplitude and has a period of \pi<br><br> yes or no?
Bess [88]
It's multiplied by 5, so the amplitude is 5.

The period is pi/2 since it's tan(2t)
