Below are the choices:
A. 80 mL of the 3.5% solution and 120 mL of the 6% solution
<span>B. 120 mL of the 3.5% solution and 80 mL of the 6% solution </span>
<span>C. 140 mL of the 3.5% solution and 60 mL of the 6% solution </span>
<span>D. 120 mL of the 3.5% solution and 80 mL of the 6% solution
</span>
Let fraction of 3.5% in final solution be p.
<span>p * 3.5 + (1 - p) * 6 = 4.5 </span>
<span>3.5p + 6 - 6p = 4.5 </span>
<span>2.5p = 1.5 </span>
<span>p = 3/5 </span>
<span>3/5 * 200 = 120 </span>
<span>Therefore the answer is B. 120 ml of 3.5% and 80 ml of 6%.</span>
Answer:
- <em>The common ratio of the progression is 3/4</em>
Explanation:
A <em>geometric progression</em> is a sequence of terms in which the consecutive terms have a constant ratio; thus, each term is equal to the previous one multiplied by a constant value:
A<em> infinite geometric progression</em> may have a finite sum. When the absolute value of the ratio is less than 1, the sum of the infinite geometric progression has a finite value equal to:
Thus, the information given translates to:
Now you can solve for the constant ratio, r:
Answer:
a = 0.3 and b = - 1.1
Step-by-step explanation:
(x - 2)² = x² -4x + 4
Hence, x² - 4x + 4 = 3x - 6
x² - 7x + 10 = 0
(x - 5)(x - 2) = 0
∴ x = 5 or 2
f(5) = 25a + 5b = 2 ----- (i)
f(2) = 4a + 2b = -1 ------ (ii)
(i) X 2: 50a + 10b = 4 ----- (iii)
(ii) X 5: 20a + 10a = -5 ---- (iv)
Subtract (iv) from (iii): 30a = 9
a = 0.3
Substitute a into (ii) to obtain b
4(0.3) + 2b = -1
2b = -1 - 1.2 = -2.2
∴ b = -1.1
