A health clinic uses a solution of bleach to sterilize petri dishes in which cultures are grown. The sterilization tank contains

120 gal of a solution of 4% ordinary household bleach mixed with pure distilled water. New research indicates that the concentration of bleach should be 6% for complete sterilization. How much of the solution should be drained and replaced with bleach to increase the bleach content to the recommended level?

Answer:

2.5 gal

Step-by-step explanation:

let be x = galons of solution to be drained and replace with bleach

so, we have to substract to the current solution of bleach 0.04*120, x gallons that have a concentration of 0.04 x

and also, we have to add the same gallons of bleach to the solution, that is x

and have to obtain a final concentration of 0.06*120

we can express the problem with the follow equation:

0.04*120 - 0.04*x + x = 0.06*120

solving the equation for x:

4.8+0.96*x=7.2

0.96*x=7.2-4.8

0.96*x=2.4

x =2.5 gallons

Suppose the supply function for a certain item is given by S(q)= (q+6)2 and the demand funtion is given by D(q)= (1000)/(q+6).
nasty-shy [4]

Answer: The equilibrium point is where; Quantity supplied = 100 and Quantity demanded = 100

Step-by-step explanation: The equilibrium point on a demand and supply graph is the point at which demand equals supply. Better put, it is the point where the demand curve intersects the supply curve.

The supply function is given as

S(q) = (q + 6)^2

The demand function is given as

D(q) = 1000/(q + 6)

The equilibrium point therefore would be derived as

(q + 6)^2 = 1000/(q + 6)

Cross multiply and you have

(q + 6)^2 x (q + 6) = 1000

(q + 6 )^3 = 1000

Add the cube root sign to both sides of the equation

q + 6 = 10

Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation

q = 4

Therefore when q = 4, supply would be

S(q) = (4 + 6)^2

S(q) = 10^2

S(q) = 100

Also when q = 4, demand would be

D(q) = 1000/(4 + 6)

D(q) = 1000/10

D(q) = 100

Hence at the point of equilibrium the quantity demanded and quantity supplied would be 100 units.
