The slope is -2/1.
Rise/Run.
Down 2/ Left 1. Because it’s going down, put a negative.
We know that
The mixture in Tank A is 5/(5+10) = 1/3 pure alcohol.
The mixture in Tank B is 3/(3+12) = 1/5 pure alcohol.
We want to combine these to make a mixture that is 25% = 1/4 pure alcohol.
Let
x------------------> the volume in gallons of solution taken from Tank A.
y------------------>the volume in gallons of solution taken from Tank B
Then
the volume taken from Tank B will be y=(8 -x)
remember that we are making a total of 8 gallons of solutions.
The alcohol content of the mixture is(1/3)x +(1/5)(8 -x) = (1/4)*85x + 3(8 -x) = 30 ----------> 5x+24-3x=30----------> 5x-3x=30-24
2x = 6 ----------------> x=3
y=8-x--------> y=8-3-----> y=5
the answer is
3 gallons should be taken from Tank A;
5 gallons should be taken from Tank B
We are given the statement that the strength, S, of a beam of width w andheight h is proportional to wh2. hence using k as the proportionality constant, the equation is S = k wh2. the exact width and height can be determined by applying optimization to the problem. optimization is taking the first derivative of an equation and equating then to zero
Answer:
a graph with points plotted to show a possible relationship between two sets of data. ... A correlation where as one variable increases, the other also increases, or as one decreases so does the ... a line that best passes through or near graphed data; used to describe data and predict where new data will appear on the graph.
