Answer:

The correct option is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that on a number line, point A has a coordinate of −6, and point B has a coordinate of 2. It means

x_1=-6

x_2=2

Midpoint formula:

x=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}

x=\frac{-6+2}{2}

x=\frac{-4}{2}

x=-2

The coordinate of point M is -2. Therefore option B is correct.

To solve this, we just need to find the distance between the points A and B in the number line, and then, divide that distance by 2.
Remember that the distance formula between tow point in the number line is: 
d=|x_{2}-x_{1}|
From our point we can infer that x_{1}=-6 and x_{2}=2, so lets replace the values:
d=|x_{2}-x_{1}|
d=|2-(-6)|
d=|2+6|
d=8

Now, to find the coordinate of the midpoint, we just need to divide that distance by 2:
M= \frac{8}{2}
M=4

We can conclude that the coordinate of the point M, the midpoint of AB, is 4

solong [7]

Answer:

n = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

4n + 12 = 4

Subtract 12 from both sides.

4n = -8

Divide both sides by 4.

n = -2

A tank contains 100 L of water. A solution with a salt con- centration of 0.4 kg/L is added at a rate of 5 L/min. The solution i
Fantom [35]

Answer:

a) (dy/dt) = 2 - [3y/(100 + 2t)]

b) The solved differential equation gives

y(t) = 0.4 (100 + 2t) - 40000 (100 + 2t)⁻¹•⁵

c) Concentration of salt in the tank after 20 minutes = 0.2275 kg/L

Step-by-step explanation:

First of, we take the overall balance for the system,

Let V = volume of solution in the tank at any time

The rate of change of the volume of solution in the tank = (Rate of flow into the tank) - (Rate of flow out of the tank)

The rate of change of the volume of solution = dV/dt

Rate of flow into the tank = Fᵢ = 5 L/min

Rate of flow out of the tank = F = 3 L/min

(dV/dt) = Fᵢ - F

(dV/dt) = (Fᵢ - F)

dV = (Fᵢ - F) dt

∫ dV = ∫ (Fᵢ - F) dt

Integrating the left hand side from 100 litres (initial volume) to V and the right hand side from 0 to t

V - 100 = (Fᵢ - F)t

V = 100 + (5 - 3)t

V = 100 + (2) t

V = (100 + 2t) L

Component balance for the amount of salt in the tank.

Let the initial amount of salt in the tank be y₀ = 0 kg

Let the rate of flow of the amount of salt coming into the tank = yᵢ = 0.4 kg/L × 5 L/min = 2 kg/min

Amount of salt in the tank, at any time = y kg

Concentration of salt in the tank at any time = (y/V) kg/L

Recall that V is the volume of water in the tank. V = 100 + 2t

Rate at which that amount of salt is leaving the tank = 3 L/min × (y/V) kg/L = (3y/V) kg/min

Rate of Change in the amount of salt in the tank = (Rate of flow of salt into the tank) - (Rate of flow of salt out of the tank)

(dy/dt) = 2 - (3y/V)

(dy/dt) = 2 - [3y/(100 + 2t)]

To solve this differential equation, it is done in the attached image to this question.

The solution of the differential equation is

y(t) = 0.4 (100 + 2t) - 40000 (100 + 2t)⁻¹•⁵

c) Concentration after 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes, volume of water in tank will be

V(t) = 100 + 2t

V(20) = 100 + 2(20) = 140 L

Amount of salt in the tank after 20 minutes gives

y(t) = 0.4 (100 + 2t) - 40000 (100 + 2t)⁻¹•⁵

y(20) = 0.4 [100 + 2(20)] - 40000 [100 + 2(20)]⁻¹•⁵

y(20) = 0.4 [100 + 40] - 40000 [100 + 40]⁻¹•⁵

y(20) = 0.4 [140] - 40000 [140]⁻¹•⁵

y(20) = 56 - 24.15 = 31.85 kg

Amount of salt in the tank after 20 minutes = 31.85 kg

Volume of water in the tank after 20 minutes = 140 L

Concentration of salt in the tank after 20 minutes = (31.85/140) = 0.2275 kg/L

Hope this Helps!!!
