Answer: 15 oz of 2% solution and 10 oz of 5% solution

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Set up a table with the given information. <em>Multiply across and add down</em>. The bottom row (Total) will provide the equation. Then, solve the equation for the variable (2% solution) and substitute that value into the quantity for the 5% solution to find that value.

\begin {array}{l|c|c||l}&Quantity&Percent&Qty\times Percent\\ Solution\ A&x&2\%=0.02&\qquad 0.02(x)=0.02x\\Solution\ B&25-x&5\%=0.05&0.05(25-x)=1.25-0.05x\\Total&25&3.2\%=0.032&0.02x+1.25-0.05x\\\end{array}  \\\\\\.\qquad 25(0.32) = 1.25-0.03x\\.\qquad \qquad -0.8 = 1.25 - 0.03x\\.\qquad \quad \ -0.45 = -.03x\\.\qquad \qquad \ 15 = x\\\\Solution\ A: x = 15\\Solution\ B: 25 - x = 25 - (15) = 10

The nth term of a sequence is n-4
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

nth term = n - 4

A) 1st term = 1 - 4 = -3

2nd term = 2 - 4 = -2

3rd term = 3 - 4 = -1

First three terms are:  -3, -2, -1

b) tenth term = 10 - 4 = 6

Suppose that A A is a set containing 13 13 elements. Find the number of different subsets of A.
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

number of subsets of a set with 13 elements are: 2^{13}

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this intuitively, we can start by a set with lesser elements. This will reveal a pattern that will be used to solve for the subsets of the 13 element set.

If we start with a set B. which contains only 3 elements.

B = \{1,2,3\}

how many subsets of B are there? well we can count them. [the set containing {1,2} and {2,1} are the same, arrangement doesn't matter]

B_{0} = \{\}\\B_{1a}=\{1\}\\B_{1b}=\{2\}\\B_{1c}=\{3\}\\B_{2a}=\{1,2\}\\B_{2b}=\{2,3\}\\B_{2c}=\{3,1\}\\B_{3a}=\{1,2,3\}\\

there are a total of 9 subsets here.

Similarly, if you try a with a subset with only two elements you'll find that it has a total of 4 subsets.

We can see that combinatorics is at play here.

for the set B. the number of subsets can be written as:

\text{\# of subsets of B} = ^3C_0+^3C_1+^3C_2+^3C_3\\\text{\# of subsets of B} = 1+3+3+1\\\\text{\# of subsets of B} = 8

if we try with a 2-element set:

\text{\# of subsets} = ^2C_0+^2C_1+^2C_2\\\text{\# of subsets} = 1+2+1\\\ \text{\# of subsets} = 4

We can use the same technique to find the number of subsets of the 13 element set.

But if you recognize a pattern here that this sets of combinations are actually part of the pascal triangle, the sum of each row of the triangle is 2^{the row's number}. hence.

\text{\# of subsets of B} = 2^3\\\ \text{\# of subsets of B} = 8

So finally, the subsets of a 13-element set A will be

\text{\# of subsets of A} = ^{13}C_0+^{13}C_1+^{13}C_2+^{13}C_3\cdots+^{13}C_{12}+^{13}C_{13}\\OR\\\text{\# of subsets of A} = 2^{13}\\\text{\# of subsets of A} = 8192

Triangles RDO and RHC are similar, so you have
.. RO:RC = RD:RH
.. RO:(RD +CD) = RD:(RO +OH)
.. 6:(4 +CD) = 4:(6 +4) . . . . . . . fill in numbers
.. 6*10 = 4(4 +CD) . . . . . . . . . . product of means = product of extremes
.. 15 = 4 +CD
.. CD = 11
