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

Negate the conditional statement.<br><br> c⇒(a∧∼b)
gulaghasi [49]

The negate of this conditional statement as : a∨(∼b).

<h3>What is a expression? What is a mathematical equation? What do you mean by domain and range of a function?</h3>
  • A mathematical expression is made up of terms (constants and variables) separated by mathematical operators.
  • A mathematical equation is used to equate two expressions. Equation modelling is the process of writing a mathematical verbal expression in the form of a mathematical expression for correct analysis, observations and results of the given problem.
  • For any function y = f(x), Domain is the set of all possible values of [y] that exists for different values of [x]. Range is the set of all values of [x] for which [y] exists.

We have the the following conditional statement -

c ⇒ (a∧∼b)

We can write the negate of this conditional statement as -

a∨(∼b)

Therefore, the negate of this conditional statement as : a∨(∼b).

A carton can hold 1000 unit cubes that measure 1 inch by 1 inch by 1 inch. Describe the dimensions of the carton using unit cube
navik [9.2K]
The dimensions of the carton are:

10 x 10 x 10 [inch OR unit cubes - it's the same since cubes' dimensions are 1 x 1 x 1 inch)

I attach the explanation below.

Is d y / d x the exact same as f ' ( x ) ? If yes, which is more commonly used?
Murrr4er [49]
It's dependent on the context. A book may ask you to find the f'(x) of a function and you may have to use a u sub in your problem which requires you to find the dy/dx of what you substitute. So in this case both would be used.
