$x-\ Jan's\ destination\\\\y-\ Mya's \ destination \\\\ z-\ Sara's\ destination\\\\\
x+y+z=64\\
x=y\\
z-8=2x\\\\
x+x+z=64\\
z=2x+8\\\\
2x+2x+8=64\\\\
4x+8=64\\\\
4x=64-8\\\\
4x=56\ \ |:4\\\\x=14\\\\z=2x+8=2*14+8=28+8=36\\\\ Sara\ ran\ 36\ miles.$

Write a quadratic function, in standard form, that fits the set of points. Solve it as a system of three equations. (-4, 9), (0,

Tresset [83]

Answer:

$\boxed{y=2x^2+4x-7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the quadratic function be

$y=ax^2+bx+c$

We substitute $(-4,9)$ into the equation to obtain;

$9=a(-4)^2+b(-4)+c$

$\Rightarrow 9=16a-4b+c---(1)$

We substitute $(0,-7)$ to obtain;

$-7=a(0)^2+b(0)^2+c$

$\Rightarrow c=-7---(2)$

We finally substitute $(1,-1)$ to obtain;

$-1=a(1)^2+b(1)^2+c$

$\Rightarrow -1=a+b+c---(3)$

We put equation (2) into equation (1) to get;

$9=16a-4b-7$

$16a-4b=16$

$\Rightarrow 4a-b=4---(4)$

$\Rightarrow -1=a+b-7$

$\Rightarrow a+b=6---(5)$

We add equation (4) and (5) to get;

$4a+a=6+4$

$\Rightarrow 5a=10$

$\Rightarrow a=2$

We put $a=2$ into equation (5) to get;

$2+b=6$

$\Rightarrow b=6-2$

$\Rightarrow b=4$

The reqiured quadratic function is

$y=2x^2+4x-7$

A chemist wants to make 100 liters of a 44% acid solution. She has solutions that are 20% acid and 60% acid.

alexgriva [62]

the first solution is 20% acid, and say we'll be using "x" liters, so how many liters of just acid are in it? well 20% of "x" or namely 0.2x. Likewise for the 60% acid solution, if we had "y" liters of it, the amount of only acid in it is 0.6y.

$\begin{array}{lcccl} &\stackrel{solution}{quantity}&\stackrel{\textit{\% of }}{amount}&\stackrel{\textit{liters of }}{amount}\\ \cline{2-4}&\\ \textit{1st solution}&x&0.20&0.2x\\ \textit{2nd solution}&y&0.60&0.6y\\ \cline{2-4}&\\ mixture&100&0.44&44 \end{array}~\hfill \begin{cases} x+y=100\\\\ 0.2x+0.6y=44 \end{cases}$

$x+y=100\implies y=100-x~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{substituting on the 2nd equation}}{0.2x+0.6(100-x)=44} \\\\\\ 0.2x+60-0.6x=44\implies -0.4x+60=44\implies -0.4x=-16 \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{-16}{-0.4}\implies \boxed{x=40}~\hfill \boxed{\stackrel{100-40}{y=60}}$
