Let x = 30% y=16%

We need 5 liters of 27.2% acid
A) x + y = 5
B) .30 x + .16y = 5 * .272
Multiplying A by -.30
A) -.30 x - .30y = -1.5 then adding to B
B) .30 x + .16y = 1.36
-.14y = -.14
y = 1 liter 16%
x = 4 liters 30%

Two points in the Cartesian plane are A(2.00 m, −4.00 m) and B(−3.00 m, 3.00 m). Find the distance between them and their polar
Brrunno [24]

The distance between the two points is d=8.6m

The polar coordinate of A is \left(4.47,296.57\right)

The polar coordinate of B is \left(4.24,135\right)

Explanation:

The two points are A(2,-4) and B(-3,3)

The distance between two points is given by,

d=\sqrt{(2+3)^{2}+(-4-3)^{2}}\\d=\sqrt{(5)^{2}+(-7)^{2}}\\d=\sqrt{25+49}\\d=8.6

Thus, the distance between the two points is d=8.6m

The polar coordinates of A can be written as (Distance, tan^{-1} \frac{y}{x} )

Distance = \sqrt{x^{2} +y^{2} }

Substituting A(2,-4), we get,

Distance = \sqrt{2^{2} +(-4)^{2} }=\sqrt{4+16 }=4.47

tan^{-1} \frac{y}{x} =tan^{-1} \frac{-4}{2}=-63.43

To make the angle positive, let us add 360,

\theta=360-63.43=296.57

The polar coordinate of A is \left(4.47,296.57\right)

Similarly, The polar coordinate of B can be written as (Distance, tan^{-1} \frac{y}{x} )

Distance = \sqrt{x^{2} +y^{2} }

Substituting B(-3,3), we get,

Distance = \sqrt{(3)^{2}+(3)^{2}}=4.24

tan^{-1} \frac{y}{x} =tan^{-1} \frac{3}{-3}=-45

To make the angle positive, let us add 360,

\theta=180-45=135^{\circ}

The polar coordinate of B is \left(4.24,135\right)
