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.

Find tan theta if theta is an angle in standard position and the point with coordinates (4,3) lies on the terminal side of the a
Karolina [17]

Answer: 0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

We can do this by drawing a terminal side in a standard position and then drawing the associated triangle. We then use the Pythagoras theorem to find the missing side the hypotenuse. Then, this will give a Pythagorean Triplet of 3, 4 and 5.

We now have a triangle with the values of:

x = 4

y =3

h^2= 4^2 + 3^2

h^2 = 16 + 9

h^2 = 25

h = 5

h = 5

Tangent = opposite/adjacent

= y/x

= 3/4

= 0.75

The position of an object moving along an x axis is given by x = 3.24 t - 4.20 t2 + 1.07 t3, where x is in meters and t in secon
Pavel [41]

Answer and explanation:

Given : The position of an object moving along an x axis is given by x=3.24t-4.20t^2+1.07t^3 where x is in meters and t in seconds.

To find : The position of the object at the following values of t :

a) At t= 1 s

x(t)=3.24t-4.20t^2+1.07t^3

x(1)=3.24(1)-4.20(1)^2+1.07(1)^3

x(1)=3.24-4.20+1.07

x(1)=0.11

b) At t= 2 s

x(t)=3.24t-4.20t^2+1.07t^3

x(2)=3.24(2)-4.20(2)^2+1.07(2)^3

x(2)=6.48-16.8+8.56

x(2)=-1.76

c) At t= 3 s

x(t)=3.24t-4.20t^2+1.07t^3

x(3)=3.24(3)-4.20(3)^2+1.07(3)^3

x(3)=9.72-37.8+28.89

x(3)=0.81

d) At t= 4 s

x(t)=3.24t-4.20t^2+1.07t^3

x(4)=3.24(4)-4.20(4)^2+1.07(4)^3

x(4)=12.96-67.2+68.48

x(4)=14.24

(e) What is the object's displacement between t = 0 and t = 4 s?

At t=0, x(0)=0

At t=4, x(4)=14.24

The displacement is given by,

\triangle x=x(4)-x(0)

\triangle x=14.24-0

\triangle x=14.24

(f) What is its average velocity from t = 2 s to t = 4 s?

At t=2, x(2)=-1.76

At t=4, x(4)=14.24

The average velocity  is given by,

\triangle x=x(4)-x(2)

\triangle x=14.24-(-1.76)

\triangle x=14.24+1.76

\triangle x=16
