Answer:

We need 5.7 liters of the 5% volume solution and 4.3 liters of the 40% volume solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let V₁ be the volume of the 5% solution required and V₂ be the volume of 40% solution required.

Since mass = concentration × volume, the combined mass of the 5% and 40% volume solution equal the mass of the 10 liter 20% volume solution.

So, 0.05V₁ + 0.4V₂ = 0.2 × 10

0.05V₁ + 0.4V₂ = 2 (1)

Also, the total volume of the solution must equal 10 liters. So,

V₁ + V₂ = 10 (2)

V₁ = 10 - V₂  (3)

substituting (3) into (1), we have

0.05(10 - V₂) + 0.4V₂ = 2

0.5 - 0.05V₂ + 0.4V₂ = 2

collecting like terms, we have

- 0.05V₂ + 0.4V₂ = 2 - 0.5

0.35V₂ = 1.5

dividing through by 0.35, we have

V₂ = 1.5/0.35

V₂ = 4.29

V₂ = 4.3 liters to the nearest tenth of a liter

Substituting V₂ into (3), we have,

V₁ = 10 - 4.3  

V₁ = 5.7 liters

So, we need 5.7 liters of the 5% volume solution and 4.3 liters of the 40% volume solution.

The scale factor of dilation from ABC to A^{1} B^{1} C^{1} is 0.333.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

First, we plot the coordinates of both triangles.

The coordinates of the triangle A^{1} B^{1} C^{1} are as follows;

A^{1} = (2, 3), B^{1} = (2, 1), and C^{1} = (3, 1).

The coordinates of triangle ABC are;

A = (4, 9), B = (4, 3), and C = (7, 3).

Step 2;

Next, we need to find the distances between at least two coordinates for both triangles.

The distances between vertical lines are found by calculating the difference in y values while for horizontal lines, the distances are found by calculating the difference between the x values.

The distance of A^{1} B^{1} = 3-1=2, the distance of B^{1} C^{1} = 3-2=1.

The distance of AB =9-3=6, the distance of BC = 7-4=3.

Step 3;

To calculate the scale factor, we divide the measurement after scaling by the same measurement before scaling.

In this case, it is the length of the AB.

So The scale factor for AB = \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3} = 0.333.

The scale factor for BC = \frac{1}{3} = 0.333.

I really need help with this ?

Answer:

Answer=44

Step-by-step explanation:

Rectangle: 6x4=24.

Triangle: 4x4=16, and 16/2=8.

Semicircle: Pi x radius squared, so pi x 2 squared is 16.something, and since it's a semicircle, we divide by 2, so it's 8 again.

Overall: 24+8+8=44 cm squared.

Does anyone else agree that the answer for this family of curves question is E, dy/dx = x + y?
neonofarm [45]
Yes this is the correct answer. The slope field shown is the differential equation dy/dx = x+y

All points along the line x+y = k, for some constant k, will have the same tangent slope k. For example, the line x+y = 0 will have every point with tangent slope 0 for the solution y(x). It may not be 100% clear, but this graph has horizontal tickmarks on the line x+y = 0, or the tickmarks are close to being horizontal. Using geogebra, I checked the others and they produced completely different graphs, which allowed me to rule them out.
