<span>The rocket that will reach a greater distance above the ground at its maximum height is y = -4x</span>² + 80x. The answer is letter B. This is because of the coefficient presented in the x² term. The number -4 is much greater than -6. Graphing these equations into a graphing paper or excel, you would get a parabola.

A metalworker has a metal alloy that is 15% copper and another alloy that is 60% copper. How many kilograms of each alloy shou

coldgirl [10]

18 kg of 15% copper and 72 kg of 60% copper should be combined by the metalworker to create 90 kg of 51% copper alloy.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let x = kg of 15% copper alloy

Let y = kg of 60% copper alloy

Since we need to create 90 kg of alloy we know:

x + y = 90

51% of 90 kg = 45.9 kg of copper

So we're interested in creating 45.9 kg of copper

We need some amount of 15% copper and some amount of 60% copper to create 45.9 kg of copper:

0.15x + 0.60y = 45.9

but

x + y = 90

x= 90 - y

substituting that value in for x

0.15(90 - y) + 0.60y = 45.9

13.5 - 0.15y + 0.60y = 45.9

0.45y = 32.4

y = 72

Substituting this y value to solve for x gives:

x + y = 90

x= 90-72

x=18

Therefore, in order to create 90kg of 51% alloy, we'd need 18 kg of 15% copper and 72 kg of 60% copper.
