Let

<em>x</em> = volume of the 31% solution

<em>y</em> = volume of the 15% solution

We want a solution with a total volume of 28 L, so

<em>x</em> + <em>y</em> = 28

For each liter of either solution, there is a contribution of 0.31 L and 0.15 L of alcohol, respectively. In the resulting solution, we want a concentration of 27% alcohol, which comes out to 0.27 * 28 L = 7.56 L. So

0.31 <em>x</em> + 0.15 <em>y</em> = 7.56

The first equation says

<em>y</em> = 28 - <em>x</em>

Substitute this into the second equation and solve for <em>x</em>, then for <em>y </em>:

0.31 <em>x</em> + 0.15 (28 - <em>x</em>) = 7.56

0.31 <em>x</em> + 4.2 - 0.15 <em>x</em> = 7.56

0.16 <em>x</em> = 3.36

<em>x </em>= 21

<em>y</em> = 28 - <em>x</em>

<em>y</em> = 7

Which piece wise function is graphed below
AlekseyPX

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is how to approach the problem:

We see that all our restrictions for all four answer choices are relatively the same with a couple of changes here and there.
One way to eliminate choices would be to look at which restrictions don't match the graph.

At x<-5, there is a linear function that does have a -2 slope and will intersect the x axis at -7. The line ends with an open circle, so any answer choice with a linear restriction of x less than or equal to -5 is wrong. This cancels out choices C and D.

Now we have two choices left.

For the quadratic in the middle, the vertex is at (-2,6) and the vertex is a maximum, meaning our graph needs to have a negative sign in front of the highest degree term. In our case, none of our quadratics left are in standard form, and instead are in vertex form.

Vertext form is f(x) = a(x-h)^2 + k.

h being the x-coordinate of the vertex and k being the y-coordinate.

We know that the opposite of h will be the actual x-coordinate of the vertex, so if our vertex is -2, we will see x+2 inside the parenthesis. This leaves option A as the only correct choice.

Using the slope and the y intercept, graph the line represented by the following equation.
PtichkaEL [24]
Beforehand let me apologize for my sloppy handwriting. I'm a lefty, so please deal with me. . Anyway, the equation you listed didn't really have a x, because a linear equation is y= mx+b, and anything with x is the slope. But I did see y and a number on one side, so I'm like maybe I can get these two alone. So here's what I did:

2y + 4=0
-4 -4 I subtracted 4 on both sides. Why because you would want "y" alone.
Next,
2y= -4
Now to get "y" alone you want to divide on both sides.
2y= -4/ 2
y= -2
Now you're probably thinking "how do you graph it? There's no "x" in the equation." Well, you just graph it. Since the answer is y= -2, you go to the y axis, look for -2, and place a line to indicate that is the equation. And to make it clear, remember y is the y-intercept.

I really do hope this helps you, if not message me. I'll be happy to help, and again I'm sorry for my handwriting!
