Answer:
rate of change = 4/5 = 0.8
initial value = 24

Explanation:
Part (1): getting the rate of change:
The rate of change means the change of the output with respect to the change in the input.
Since we are given that the relation is linear, therefore, the rate of change is constant at any point that belongs.
First, we will need to choose any points from the table. I will choose points : (5,28) and (15,36)
The rate of change is also known as the slope of the line and can be calculated using the following rule:
rate of change = slope of line = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
Substitute with the points you chose to get the rate of change as follows:
rate of change = (36-28) / (15-5) = 4/5 = 0.8

Part (2): getting the initial value:
The initial value is defined as the output when the input is zero. Therefore, it is the value of the "y" when the value of the "x" is zero.
The general form of the linear is function is:
y = mx + c
where:
m is the slope
c is the y-intercept
We have the slope = 4/5
Therefore, equation of the line now is:
y = (4/5) x + c
Now, we need to get the y-intercept. To do so, we will use any point that belongs to the function to substitute in the equation and then solve for c. I will choose point (20,40)
y = (4/5) x + c
40 = (4/5)(20) + c
c = 40-16 = 24
Therefore, the equation of the line now becomes:
y = (4/5)x + 24
Now, to get the value, we will substitute the x with zero and get the corresponding y as follows:
y = (4/5)x + 24
y = (4/5)(0) + 24
initial value of y = 24

Hope this helps :)

What is the scale factor of ABC to DEF?
pochemuha

Answer:

A. 1

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Scale Factor:</em>

<em>The scale factor is the number you multiply the length of a side of the first triangle to get the length of the corresponding side of the other triangle.</em>

Every side that measures 5 in triangle ABC has a corresponding side in triangle DEF that also measures 5. In this case 5 * 1 = 5, so the scale factor is 1.

Answer: A. 1

Let and be differentiable vector fields and let a and b be arbitrary real constants. Verify the following identities.
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

The given identities are verified by using operations of the del operator such as divergence and curl of the given vectors.

<h3>What are the divergence and curl of a vector field?</h3>

The del operator is used for finding the divergence and the curl of a vector field.

The del operator is given by

\nabla=\^i\frac{\partial}{\partial x}+\^j \frac{\partial}{\partial y}+\^k\frac{\partial}{\partial z}

Consider a vector field F=x\^i+y\^j+z\^k

Then the divergence of the vector F is,

div F = \nabla.F = (\^i\frac{\partial}{\partial x}+\^j \frac{\partial}{\partial y}+\^k\frac{\partial}{\partial z}).(x\^i+y\^j+z\^k)

and the curl of the vector F is,

curl F = \nabla\times F = \^i(\frac{\partial Fz}{\partial y}- \frac{\partial Fy}{\partial z})+\^j(\frac{\partial Fx}{\partial z}-\frac{\partial Fz}{\partial x})+\^k(\frac{\partial Fy}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial Fx}{\partial y})

<h3>Calculation:</h3>

The given vector fields are:

F1 = M\^i + N\^j + P\^k and F2 = Q\^i + R\^j + S\^k

1) Verifying the identity: \nabla.(aF1+bF2)=a\nabla.F1+b\nabla.F2

Consider L.H.S

⇒ \nabla.(aF1+bF2)

⇒ \nabla.(a(M\^i + N\^j + P\^k) + b(Q\^i + R\^j + S\^k))

⇒ \nabla.((aM+bQ)\^i+(aN+bR)\^j+(aP+bS)\^k)

⇒ (\^i\frac{\partial}{\partial x}+\^j \frac{\partial}{\partial y}+\^k\frac{\partial}{\partial z}).((aM+bQ)\^i+(aN+bR)\^j+(aP+bS)\^k)

Applying the dot product between these two vectors,

⇒ \frac{\partial (aM+bQ)}{\partial x}+ \frac{\partial (aN+bR)}{\partial y}+\frac{\partial (aP+bS)}{\partial z} ...(1)

Consider R.H.S

⇒ a\nabla.F1+b\nabla.F2

So,

\nabla.F1=(\^i\frac{\partial}{\partial x}+\^j \frac{\partial}{\partial y}+\^k\frac{\partial}{\partial z}).(M\^i + N\^j + P\^k)

⇒ \nabla.F1=\frac{\partial M}{\partial x}+\frac{\partial N}{\partial y}+\frac{\partial P}{\partial z}

\nabla.F2=(\^i\frac{\partial}{\partial x}+\^j \frac{\partial}{\partial y}+\^k\frac{\partial}{\partial z}).(Q\^i + R\^j + S\^k)

⇒ \nabla.F1=\frac{\partial Q}{\partial x}+\frac{\partial R}{\partial y}+\frac{\partial S}{\partial z}

Then,

a\nabla.F1+b\nabla.F2=a(\frac{\partial M}{\partial x}+\frac{\partial N}{\partial y}+\frac{\partial P}{\partial z})+b(\frac{\partial Q}{\partial x}+\frac{\partial R}{\partial y}+\frac{\partial S}{\partial z})

⇒ \frac{\partial (aM+bQ)}{\partial x}+ \frac{\partial (aN+bR)}{\partial y}+\frac{\partial (aP+bS)}{\partial z} ...(2)

From (1) and (2),

\nabla.(aF1+bF2)=a\nabla.F1+b\nabla.F2

2) Verifying the identity: \nabla\times(aF1+bF2)=a\nabla\times F1+b\nabla\times F2

Consider L.H.S

⇒ \nabla\times(aF1+bF2)

⇒ (\^i\frac{\partial}{\partial x}+\^j \frac{\partial}{\partial y}+\^k\frac{\partial}{\partial z})\times(a(M\^i+N\^j+P\^k)+b(Q\^i+R\^j+S\^k))

⇒ (\^i\frac{\partial}{\partial x}+\^j \frac{\partial}{\partial y}+\^k\frac{\partial}{\partial z})\times ((aM+bQ)\^i+(aN+bR)\^j+(aP+bS)\^k)

Applying the cross product,

\^i(\^k\frac{\partial (aP+bS)}{\partial y}- \^j\frac{\partial (aN+bR)}{\partial z})+\^j(\^i\frac{\partial (aM+bQ)}{\partial z}-\^k\frac{\partial (aP+bS)}{\partial x})+\^k(\^j\frac{\partial (aN+bR)}{\partial x}-\^i\frac{\partial (aM+bQ)}{\partial y}) ...(3)

Consider R.H.S,

⇒ a\nabla\times F1+b\nabla\times F2

So,

a\nabla\times F1=a(\nabla\times (M\^i+N\^j+P\^k))

⇒ \^i(\frac{\partial aP\^k}{\partial y}- \frac{\partial aN\^j}{\partial z})+\^j(\frac{\partial aM\^i}{\partial z}-\frac{\partial aP\^k}{\partial x})+\^k(\frac{\partial aN\^j}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial aM\^i}{\partial y})

a\nabla\times F2=b(\nabla\times (Q\^i+R\^j+S\^k))

⇒ \^i(\frac{\partial bS\^k}{\partial y}- \frac{\partial bR\^j}{\partial z})+\^j(\frac{\partial bQ\^i}{\partial z}-\frac{\partial bS\^k}{\partial x})+\^k(\frac{\partial bR\^j}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial bQ\^i}{\partial y})

Then,

a\nabla\times F1+b\nabla\times F2 =

\^i(\^k\frac{\partial (aP+bS)}{\partial y}- \^j\frac{\partial (aN+bR)}{\partial z})+\^j(\^i\frac{\partial (aM+bQ)}{\partial z}-\^k\frac{\partial (aP+bS)}{\partial x})+\^k(\^j\frac{\partial (aN+bR)}{\partial x}-\^i\frac{\partial (aM+bQ)}{\partial y})

...(4)

Thus, from (3) and (4),

\nabla\times(aF1+bF2)=a\nabla\times F1+b\nabla\times F2

how much water should be mixed with 6 gallons of 55% solution of sulfuric acid to make a 20% solution of sulfuric acid
nevsk [136]
Hello.

For all dilution problems use the dilution equation: 
<span>C1V1 = C2V2 </span>
<span>20*V1 = 6*55 </span>
<span>V1 = 6*55/20 </span>
<span>V1 = 16.5 gallons </span>
<span>The final volume must be 16.5 gallons </span>
<span>You must add 16.5 - 6 = 10.5 gallons water to be added.
</span>
