The frequency,f kilohertz of a radio wave is inversely proportional to its wavelength, Ym. The frequency of a radio wave that ha
diamong [38]

Step-by-step explanation:

The frequency of a radio wave that has a wavelength of 3000m is 100 kHz

(a) Wavelength = 500 m

We know that,

f=\dfrac{c}{\lambda}\\\\f=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{500}\\\\f=600\ kHz

(b) Frequency, f = 800 kHz

\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{800\times 10^3}\\\\\lambda=375\ m

Hence, this is the required solution.

How many gallons of a 30% salt solution must be added to 40 gallons of a 12% salt solution to obtain a 20% solution?
Sati [7]
Let’s call the number of gallons of 30% solution “x”. If we mix together 40 gallons and x gallons of solution, we’re going to come out with a total of 40 + x gallons of that 20% solution. Mathematically, this is

40(12%) + x(30%) = (40 + x)(20%)

With the percents as decimals:

40(0.12) + x(0.3) = (40 + x)(0.2)

Simplifying, we have:

4.8 + 0.3x = 8 + 0.2x

Collecting the x terms on one side and the constants on the other:

0.1x = 3.2

And multiplying both sides by 10 to find x:

x = 32

So, you’ll need 32 gallons of 30% solution to yield 40 + 32 = 72 gallons of 20% solution.

Which statements are true about the graph of the function f(x) = x2 – 8x + 5? Check all that apply.
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

A, D, E are true

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to complete the square to prove A.  Do this by first setting the function equal to 0, then moving the 5 to the other side.

x^2-8x=-5

Now we can complete the square.  Take half the linear term, square it, and add it to both sides.  Our linear term is 8 (from the -8x).  Half of 8 is 4, and 4 squared is 16.  So we add 16 to both sides.

(x^2-8x+16)=-5+16

We will do the addition on the right, no big deal.  On the left, however, what we have done in the process of completing the square is to create a perfect square binomial, which gives us the h coordinate of the vertex.  We will rewrite with that perfect square on the left and the addition done on the right,

(x-4)^2=11

Now we will move the 11 back over, which gives us the k coordinate of the vertex.

(x-4)^2-11=y

From this you can see that A is correct.

Also we can see that the vertex of this parabola is (4, -11), which is why B is NOT correct.

The axis of symmetry is also found in the h value.  This is, by definition, a positive x-squared parabola (opens upwards), so its axis of symmetry will be an "x = " equation.  In the case of this type of parabola, that "x = " will always be equal to the h value.  So the axis of symmetry is

x = 4, which is why C is NOT correct, either.

We can find the y-intercept of the function by going back to the standard form of the parabola (NOT the vertex form we found by completing the square) and sub in a 0 for x.  When we do that, and then solve for y, we find that when x = 0, y = 5.  So the y-intercept is (0, 5).

From this you can see that D is also correct.

To determine if the parabola has real solutions (meaning it will go through the x-axis twice), you can plug it into the quadratic formula to find these values of x.  I just plugged the formula into my graphing calculator and graphed it to see that it did, indeed, go through the x-axis twice.  Just so you know, the values of x where the function go through are (.6833752, 0) and (7.3166248, 0).  That's why you need the quadratic formula to find these values.
