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

Answer:

<em>A(2,3) has a distance of 2 to the y-axis</em>

<em>B(-3,2) has a distance of 3 to the y-axis</em>

<em>C(2,-3) has a distance of 2 to the y-axis</em>

<em>D(-3,-2) has a distance of 3 to the y-axis</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Distance of a point to an axis</u>

Given a point (x,y) its rectangular coordinates are defined as the distances from the point to each axis with respect to the origin (0,0).

For example, the point (5,4) has a distance of 5 from the y-axis and a distance of 4 from the x-axis.

Generally speaking, point (x,y) has a distance |x| from the y-axis and a distance |y| from the x-axis.

The absolute value bars are used because the distance is always positive.

Apply that to the points:

A(2,3) has a distance of 2 to the y-axis

B(-3,2) has a distance of 3 to the y-axis

C(2,-3) has a distance of 2 to the y-axis

D(-3,-2) has a distance of 3 to the y-axis

a cone and a sphere have the same volume. the height of the cone is 96 units. what would be the values for the radius of the con
jolli1 [7]

The volume V_c of a cone  with base radius r_c and height h_c is

V_c = \dfrac{1}{3}\pi r_c^2 h_c

Similarly, the volume V_s of a sphere with radius r_s is

V_s = \dfrac{4}{3}\pi r_s^3

We know that V_c=V_s and that h_c=96

So, we can set up the following equation:

\dfrac{96}{3}\pi r_c^2=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r_s^3

We can simplify the common denominator 3, and pi appearing on both sides:

96r_c^2=4r_s^3

We can divide both sides by 4:

24r_c^2=r_s^3

Without further information, this is all we can say: the cubed radius of the sphere is the same as 24 times the squared radius of the cone.
