Answer:

1. 8.85 quarts

2. 44.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

In 15 quarts of a solution with percentage of antifreeze = 35%

Amount of antifreeze = 35% × 15

                                    = 0.35 × 15

                                    = 5.25 quarts

that solution is mixed with 5 quarts of a solution with percentage of antifreeze = 72%

Amount of antifreeze = 72% × 5

                                    = 0.72 × 5

                                    = 3.6 quarts

Total amount of mixture = 15 quarts + 5 quarts = 20 quarts

1. Now we will calculate the total amount of antifreeze in the resulting mixture.

= 5.25 + 3.6 = 8.85 quarts

2. The percentage of the resulting mixture is antifreeze

= \frac{8.85}{20}\times 100

= 44.25%

1. total amount of antifreeze is 8.85 quarts

2. the percentage of antifreeze is 44.25%

What is the equation of the following line? Be sure to scroll down first to see
andriy [413]

Answer:

y = 6x + 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line

y = mx + c

Given

( 0 , 0) ( -1/2 , -3)

find the slope m

m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

x1 = 0

y1 = 0

x2 = -1/2

y2 = -3

Insert the values

m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

m = -3 - 0 / -1/2 - 0

= -3/-1/2

Minus cancels minus

= 3/1/2

= 3/1 ÷ 1/2

= 3/1 × 2/1

= 6/1

= 6

m = 6

Substitute any of the two points given into the equation of a line

y = mx + c

Where

y - intercept point y

x - intercept point x

m - slope of the line

c - intercept

(-1/2 , -3)

x = -1/2

y = -3

-3 = 6(-1/2) + c

-3 = -6/2 + c

-3 = -3 + c

-3 + 3 = c

c = 0

y = 6x + 0

The equation of the line is

y = 6x + 0

Factor the polynomial, x2 + 5x + 6
patriot [66]

Answer:

Choice b.

x^{2} + 5\, x + 6 = (x + 3)\, (x + 2).

Step-by-step explanation:

The highest power of the variable x in this polynomial is 2. In other words, this polynomial is quadratic.

It is thus possible to apply the quadratic formula to find the "roots" of this polynomial. (A root of a polynomial is a value of the variable that would set the polynomial to 0.)

After finding these roots, it would be possible to factorize this polynomial using the Factor Theorem.

Apply the quadratic formula to find the two roots that would set this quadratic polynomial to 0. The discriminant of this polynomial is (5^{2} - 4 \times 1 \times 6) = 1.

\begin{aligned}x_{1} &= \frac{-5 + \sqrt{1}}{2\times 1} \\ &= \frac{-5 + 1}{2} \\ &= -2\end{aligned}.

Similarly:

\begin{aligned}x_{2} &= \frac{-5 - \sqrt{1}}{2\times 1} \\ &= \frac{-5 - 1}{2} \\ &= -3\end{aligned}.

By the Factor Theorem, if x = x_{0} is a root of a polynomial, then (x - x_0) would be a factor of that polynomial. Note the minus sign between x and x_{0}.

  • The root x = -2 corresponds to the factor (x - (-2)), which simplifies to (x + 2).
  • The root x = -3 corresponds to the factor (x - (-3)), which simplifies to (x + 3).

Verify that (x + 2)\, (x + 3) indeed expands to the original polynomial:

\begin{aligned}& (x + 2)\, (x + 3) \\ =\; & x^{2} + 2\, x + 3\, x + 6 \\ =\; & x^{2} + 5\, x + 6\end{aligned}.

A circle has a circumference of 450cm
anzhelika [568]

The circumference of the circle is actually the perimeter ( length of the boundary ) of the circle . And a part of the circle which lies between two distinct points on the circumference of the circle is called an arc . If the length of the arc is less than half the circumference , it is called minor arc and remaining portion which is more than half of the circle ( but natural ) is called major arc .

When these two points , which make the arc are joined separately to the centre of circle , these arms make angle at the centre . This is called the angle subtended by the arc at the centre of the circle .

There is a beautiful logical relation exists between arc length and the angle , the arc makes ( subtends ) at the centre of the circle . This relation is as under , the wholle circle subtends an angle of 360 degree at the centre . Half the circumference subtendr 360 / 2 ie 180 degree at the centre . The logical relation becomes Arc Length = Circumference × angle in degrees it ( the arc ) subtends at the centre of the circle / 360 degree . So the answer is very simple :- The Arc Length = 36 × 90 / 360 or 9 units ( may be centimetres or metres or inches , feet , yards , etc ) . Which is definitely length of the minor arc . The length of the major arc ( remaining portion of the circumstance ) is 36 - 9 = 27 units . Hence the required answer of the sum is 9 units .
