The temperature of the compound will follow this function: 1/8x^2+15 ( I could be wrong).

But how did I come up with this function ??
The standard of a quadratic equation is given...the x is given...the f(x) is given. Now plug these in correspondence to find the constants. The rest is algebra. If you are not getting this answer, let me see your work

One canned juice drink is 25% orange juice; another is 10% orange juice. How many liters of each should be mixed together in ord
Vikki [24]
Let's say we use "x" of the 25% OJ... ok... well, how much juice is really in that "x" liters?  well, 25% of it is OJ, the rest is water, how much is 25% of x? well, (25/100) * x,  or 0.25x.

likewise, we'll use "y" of the 10% OJ, and it will end up with (10/100) *y or 0.10y of juice in it.

whatever "x" and "y" are, they must add up to 15 Liters, and the juice concentration on that mixture, must also be the sum of their sum concentration.

\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&\stackrel{liters}{amount}&\stackrel{juice~\%}{quantity}&\stackrel{juice}{quantity}\\
&------&------&------\\
\textit{25\% juice}&x&0.25&0.25x\\
\textit{10\% juice}&y&0.10&0.10y\\
------&------&------&------\\
mixture&15&0.17&2.55
\end{array}
\\\\\\
\begin{cases}
x+y=15\implies \boxed{y}=15-x\\
0.25x+0.10y=2.55\\
----------\\
0.25x+0.10\left(\boxed{15-x}  \right)=2.55
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
0.25x-0.10x+1.5=2.55\implies 0.15x=1.05\implies x=\cfrac{1.05}{0.15}
\\\\\\
x=7

how much will be it of the 10% juice?  well, y = 15 - x.

If 2(4x + 3)/(x - 3)(x + 7) = a/x - 3 + b/x + 7, find the values of a and b.
zmey [24]

Answer:

a=3 and b=5.

Step-by-step explanation:

So I believe the problem is this:

\frac{2(4x+3)}{x-3}(x+7)}=\frac{a}{x-3}+\frac{b}{x+7}

where we are asked to find values for a and b such that the equation holds for any x in the equation's domain.

So I'm actually going to get rid of any domain restrictions by multiplying both sides by (x-3)(x+7).

In other words this will clear the fractions.

\frac{2(4x+3)}{x-3}(x+7)}\cdot(x-3)(x+7)=\frac{a}{x-3}\cdot(x-3)(x+7)+\frac{b}{x+7}(x-3)(x+7)

2(4x+3)=a(x+7)+b(x-3)

As you can see there was some cancellation.

I'm going to plug in -7 for x because x+7 becomes 0 then.

2(4\cdot -7+3)=a(-7+7)+b(-7-3)

2(-28+3)=a(0)+b(-10)

2(-25)=0-10b

-50=-10b

Divide both sides by -10:

\frac{-50}{-10}=b

5=b

Now we have:

2(4x+3)=a(x+7)+b(x-3) with b=5

I notice that x-3 is 0 when x=3. So I'm going to replace x with 3.

2(4\cdot 3+3)=a(3+7)+b(3-3)

2(12+3)=a(10)+b(0)

2(15)=10a+0

30=10a

Divide both sides by 10:

\frac{30}{10}=a

3=a

So a=3 and b=5.

Y = -3x +10 3x +y = 5 substitution method
spayn [35]

Answer:

no solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -3x +10

3x +y = 5

Substitute the first equation into the second equation

Let every instance of y in the second equation be replaced with -3x+10

3x+ (-3x+10) = 5

Combine like terms

10 =5

This is never true so there are no solutions

(These are parallel lines with the same slope but different y intercepts)
