Answer:

She needs 112 ounces of Solution A and 48 ounces of Solution B.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a is the ounces of Solution A, and b is the ounces of Solution B, then:

a + b = 160

0.45a + 0.95b = 0.60(160)

Solve the system of equations.  Using substitution:

0.45a + 0.95(160 − a) = 0.60(160)

0.45a + 152 − 0.95a = 96

56 = 0.5a

a = 112

b = 48

She needs 112 ounces of Solution A and 48 ounces of Solution B.

How are slope and derivatives related.
Mashutka [201]

Answer: When you plug in an x-value into a function's derivative, the y-values you get back FROM THE DERIVATIVE tell you the slope of a tangent line to the original function at that value of x.

PLEASE HELP! I will award brainliest to the most helpful answer. I need an in depth explanation, not just the answer. How do you
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

y ≤ -4x+25

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to figure out the equation for the line

The y intercept is  25

Next figure out the slope

slope = (y2-y1)/((x2-x1)

      = (49-25)/(-6-0)

      = 24/-6

    = -4

The equation for a line in slope intercept form is y = mx+b

y = -4x+25

This is a solid line so our inequality will have an equals in it.

It is shaded below, so y is less than.

If it was shaded above, y would be greater than

y ≤ -4x+25

6. The ratio of the height to the width of a packaging label is 5 to 19. If the height of the label is 2.5
Ahat [919]

Answer:

9.5 inches width

Step-by-step explanation:

solve it using the proportion method

height/ width = 5/19

so let the width be x

so if         height: width:: height: width

                   5   :   19    ::      2.5 :   x

product of extremes = product of means

   5 x  x      =  19 x 2.5

    x=      47.5/5

    x=   9.5 inches (width )

Nina knows that the average of the x-intercepts represents the line of symmetry for a quadratic function through the x-axis. Whi
Dafna1 [17]
To get the x-intercepts of the function, f(x) = 4x2 – 24x + 20

It has to be equated to zero and the values of x are the x-intercepts. So,
4x2 – 24x + 20 = 0
The resulting equation is a quadratic equation which can be solved by different methods. The solution is
x = 5, 1
The average therefore is:
(1+5/)2 = 3
