Answer:

6 quarts

Step-by-step explanation:

60% 3 gallons = 1.8 gallons of broth

water = 0% broth

1.8=1.2+0.4x

0.6=0.4x

x=1.5

1.5 gallons = 6 quarts

The points A(1, 4), B(5,1) lie on a circle. The line segment AB is a chord. Find the equation of a diameter of the circle.

tangare [24]

Check the picture below.

well, we want only the equation of the diametrical line, now, the diameter can touch the chord at any several angles, as well at a right-angle.

bearing in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, hmm let's find firstly the slope of AB, and the negative reciprocal of that will be the slope of the diameter, that is passing through the midpoint of AB.

$\bf A(\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})\qquad B(\stackrel{x_2}{5}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{1}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{1}-\stackrel{y1}{4}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{5}-\underset{x_1}{1}}}\implies \cfrac{-3}{4} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{slope of AB}}{-\cfrac{3}{4}}\qquad \qquad \qquad \stackrel{\textit{\underline{negative reciprocal} and slope of the diameter}}{\cfrac{4}{3}}$

so, it passes through the midpoint of AB,

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points } \\\\ A(\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})\qquad B(\stackrel{x_2}{5}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{1}) \qquad \left(\cfrac{ x_2 + x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 + y_1}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left( \cfrac{5+1}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{1+4}{2} \right)\implies \left(3~~,~~\cfrac{5}{2} \right)$

so, we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is 4/3 and runs through (3 , 5/2)

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{\frac{5}{2}}) \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{4}{3} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{\cfrac{5}{2}}=\stackrel{m}{\cfrac{4}{3}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{3})\implies y-\cfrac{5}{2}=\cfrac{4}{3}x-4 \\\\\\ y=\cfrac{4}{3}x-4+\cfrac{5}{2}\implies y=\cfrac{4}{3}x-\cfrac{3}{2}$

A hot-air balloon is at an elevation of 4,800 feet if the balloon falls 40 feet per minute how long will it take for the balloon

Triss [41]

1. 4800-2000=2800
This is the distance that the balloon needs to fall to reach an altitude of 2000 feet.
2. 2800/40=70
Distance/rate=time
The answer is 70 minutes.
