A scientist needs to make 2 liters of saline solution (salt water), in which the salt level must be at 15% concentration (meanin

g 15% of the water is salt). Unfortunately, the scientist only has two types of saline solution in his possession. He has saline solution with a 10% concentration level and saline solution with a 35% concentration level.

Answer:

We need 1.6 liters of the 10 % concentration level and saline solution  and 0.4 liters of the 35 % concentration level and saline solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let V₁ be the volume of the 10% concentration saline solution required and V₂ be the volume of 35% concentration saline solution required.

Since mass = concentration × volume, the total mass of the 10% and 35% volume saline solution equal the mass of the 2 liter 15% volume solution.

So, 0.1V₁ + 0.35V₂ = 2 × 0.15

0.1V₁ + 0.35V₂ = 0.3 (1)

Also, the total volume of the 15 % solution must equal 2 liters. So,

V₁ + V₂ = 2 (2)

V₁ = 2 - V₂  (3)

putting equation (3) into equation (1), we have

0.1(2 - V₂) + 0.35V₂ = 0.3

0.2 - 0.1V₂ + 0.35V₂ = 0.3

we now collect terms, so

- 0.1V₂ + 0.35V₂ = 0.3 - 0.2

0.25V₂ = 0.1

we now divide through by 0.25, so

V₂ = 0.1/0.25

V₂ = 0.4   liters  

we now put V₂ into (3), we have,

V₁ = 2 - 0.4  

V₁ = 1.6 liters

So, we need 1.6 liters of the 10 % concentration level and saline solution  and 0.4 liters of the 35 % concentration level and saline solution.

When 3^2 – 2 + 7 is subtracted from 5^3 – 4^2 + 10, what is the difference?
xxTIMURxx [149]
The difference is 105
3^2 - 2 + 7 =
(3 x 3) - 2 + 7 =
9 - 2 + 7 = 14

5^3 - 4^2 + 10 =
( 5 x 5 x 5) - ( 4 x 4) + 10
125 - 16 + 10 = 119

119 - 14 = 105

Jane is having difficulty deciding whether to put her savings in the Mystic Bank or in the Four Rivers Bank. Mystic offers a 12%
storchak [24]

Jane must therefore deposit her savings in the four rivers bank.

<h3>What is compound interest?</h3>

Interest that is added to a loan and deposit sum is known as compound interest. In our everyday lives, it is the notion that is employed the most frequently. Compound interest is calculated as a sum using the interest and principal accrued over time. Compound interest versus simple interest differ primarily in this way.

As per the data provided in the question,

Rate, r = 12%

After five years, the total amount, if Jane had saved at Mystic Bank,if Jane had saved at Mystic Bank would be:

A = P(1+\frac{r}{100} )^n

For compounded quarterly,

n = 5 × 4

n = 20

A = 40000(1 + 12/(4 × 100))²⁰

A = 72244.44     (i)

If Jane placed her savings with the Four Rivers, then,

A = 40000(1 + 14/(2 × 100))¹⁰

A = 40000 × 1.9671

A = 78686.054  (ii)

Therefore, it is evident that case (ii) is higher than case (i). Jane must therefore deposit her savings in the four rivers bank.

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

noting that \sqrt{-1} = i

Given

\sqrt{-80}

= \sqrt{16(-1)(5)}

= \sqrt{16} × \sqrt{-1} × \sqrt{5}

= 4i\sqrt{5} → C
