x = quarts of 30% acid solution

y = quarts of 65% solution

x + y = 175

Each quart of the 30% solution contributes 0.30x quarts of acid; similarly, each quart of the 65% solution contributes 0.65y quarts of acid. So

0.3x + 0.65y = 0.55*175 = 96.25

That is, the chemist wants 175 quarts of a new mixture with a 55% concentration of acid, which comes out to 95.25 total quarts of acid. The total amounts of acid from either sides of this equation must balance out.

Now solve for x and y:

x + y = 175  ==>  y = 175 - x

0.3x + 0.65y = 96.25  ==>  0.3x + 0.65(175 - x) = 96.25

==>  0.3x + 113.75 - 0.65x = 96.25

==>  17.5 = 0.35x

==>  x = 50  ==>  y = 125

Consider the point. (1, 4, 5) What is the projection of the point on the xy-plane?
soldi70 [24.7K]

Given :

A point ( 1 ,4 ,5 ).

To Find :

The projection of the point on the xy-plane .

Solution :

Now , to find projection of a point in a plane in a plane we need to replace the coordinate of that remaining axis which is not in the plane .

Here , the plane given is xy-plane . So , remaining axis is z .

So , we replace coordinate of z =0 .

Therefore ,  the projection of the point ( 1 ,4 ,5 ) on the xy-plane is ( 1 ,4 ,0 ) .

Hence , this is the required solution .

The radius of a circular oil slick expands at a rate of 2 m/min.
zhuklara [117]
As we knw that the dr/dt = 2
 And  The area of the circular slick is given by formul
 A = (pi)r^2.
Now lets take derivative: <span>dA/dt=2πrdr/dt
As we knw that radius is 25
so</span><span>dA/dt=2π(25)(2)=100π
which is equal to
=314.16 per minute this is how area is increasing
now for part b
</span><span> t = 4, the radius will have increased to 8 m.
   now we will put the values in formula dr/dt
</span>so it will be.dA/dt=2π(8)(2)
=32π
=100.53 is the answer
hope it helps
