A chemist needs 90 milliliters of a 25% solution but has only 16% and 43% solutions available

1 answer:

4 0

Let f be amount of 43% and s be amount of 16%...

s+f=90, f=90-s

(.16s+.43f)/90=.25 using f found above we get:

(.16s+.43(90-s))/90=.25

.16s+38.7-.43s=22.5

-.27s=-16.2

s=60, and since f=90-s, f=30

So the chemist will need to mix 60ml of 16% solution with 30ml of 43% solution to create 90ml of a 25% solution.

On a recent test, Ahmed knew many of the answers, but there were four questions he was unsure of. In each of the four questions,

Answer:

It is impossible to simulate this with a random number generator without knowing what the correct answer choices were

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Questions = 4$

$Options = 5$

Required

How can he select the right answer

Using randint will only generate a random number which could or could not be the answer to the question.

This is so because each of the 5 options for the question has the same probability of 1/5. So, using randint will only generate a random number. This generated random number has 1/5 chance of being the answer and 4/5 of not being the answer to the question.

In a nutshell, he can not make use of a simulator to select the answer to the questions in this scenario, unless he knows the solution.

<em>Hence (a) answers the question.</em>

How to factor 4(x+5)^3(x-1)^2-(x+5)^4 • 2 (x-1) by grouping?

$\bf 4(x+5)^3(x-1)^2-(x+5)^4\cdot 2(x-1)
\\\\\\
4(x+5)^3(x-1)^2-2(x-1)(x+5)^4
\\\\\\ \underline{2}\cdot 2\underline{(x+5)^3}(x-1)\underline{(x-1)}~-~\underline{2}\underline{(x-1)}(x+5)\underline{(x+5)^3}\leftarrow 
\begin{array}{llll}

\\\\\\
2(x+5)^3(x-1)~[~2(x-1)-(x+5)~]
\\\\\\
2(x+5)^3(x-1)~[2x-2-x-5]\implies 2(x+5)^3(x-1)(x-7)$
