Answer:

70 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

x gallon of 50%

x * 0.5 + 70 * 0.3 = (x + 70) * 0.4

0.5x + 21 = 0.4x + 28

0.1x = 7

x = 70

A rock is thrown from the top of a tall building.The distance in feet between the rock and the ground t seconds after thrown is
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

0.448 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

d = -16t² -4t + 412

find t when d = 407

substituting d = 407 into the equation:

407 = -16t² -4t + 412 (subtract 407 from both sides)

-16t² -4t + 412 - 407 = 0

-16t² -4t + 5 = 0 (multiply both sides by -1)

16t² + 4t - 5 = 0  

solving using your method of choice (i.e completing the square or using the quadratic equation), you will end up with

t = (-1/8) (1 + √21)= -0.70 seconds (not possible because time cannot be negative)

or

t = (-1/8) (1 -√21) = 0.448 seconds (answer)

An ellipse has a center at the origin, a vertex along the major axis at (20, 0), and a focus at (16, 0). the equation of the ell
olga_2 [115]
If the center is at (0, 0) and the vertex is at (20, 0), then the distance, a, is the length from the center to the vertex, 20.  The distance from the center to the focus is c.  The distance from the center to the focus is 16, so c = 16.  The formula we use to find the focus is c^2=a^2-b^2.  We have our c value and our a value, so we will sub in those to find b.  16^2=20^2-b^2 and 256 = 400 - b^2.  -b^2 = -144, so b = 12.  There you go!

75 students

Step-by-step explanation:

first write a ratio of the students asked to students dislike

40:30, 40 to 30, or 40/30

now simplify the ratio

4/3

now she asked 40 students, so we have to find out the unit rate

so we have to flip the fraction to 3/4 and then divided the top and bottom by 4

0.75/1

now multiply the top and bottom by 100

75/100
