Answer:

  30%: 35 liters

  50%: 35 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

The desired concentration is halfway between the concentrations of available solutions, so the mixture will be equal amounts of each.

  35 liters of 30% acid and 35 liters of 50% acid must be used

_____

If you want to write an equation, it usually works well to let the variable represent the amount of the most concentrated constituent: 50% acid. Then the amount of acid in the final mix is ...

  0.50x +0.30(70 -x) = 0.40(70)

  0.20x +21 = 28 . . . . simplify

  0.20x = 7 . . . . . . . . . subtract 21; next, divide by 0.20

  x = 35 . . . . . . amount of 50% solution (liters)

  70-x = 35 . . . amount of 30% solution (liters)

Find the average rate of change of f(x)=2x-1 from x=-1 to x=2
MrMuchimi

The average rate of change from x = -1 to x = 2 is 2

<u>Solution:</u>

Given function is:

f(x) = 2x - 1

We have to find the average rate of change from x = -1 to x = 2

<em><u>The average rate of change is given as:</u></em>

\text {Average rate of change}=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}

<em><u>The average rate of change from x = -1 to x = 2 is given by formula:</u></em>

\text {Average rate of change}=\frac{f(2)-f(-1)}{2-(-1)}\\\\\text {Average rate of change}=\frac{f(2)-f(-1)}{3}

<em><u>Find f(2) and f( - 1)</u></em>

<em><u>Substitute x = 2 in given function</u></em>

f(2) = 2(2) - 1 = 4 - 1 = 3

<em><u>Substitute x = -1 in given function</u></em>

f( - 1) = 2(-1) - 1 = -2 - 1 = -3

<em><u>Substitute the values in above formula,</u></em>

\text {Average rate of change}=\frac{3-(-3)}{3}=\frac{6}{3}=2

Thus average rate of change from x = -1 to x = 2 is 2

Can anyone solve this? If so tell me and make sure u know what ur doing please
raketka [301]

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of a line, you need to find the \frac{rise}{run} between two points. I will be using the points (-3, 2) and (-1, -2).

\frac{rise}{run} = \frac{-2-2}{-1-(-3)}

     = \frac{-2-2}{-1+3}

     = \frac{-4}{2}

     = -2
