Answer:

<em>The jar contains 156 grams of zinc</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Ratios</u>

Let's call

Z=gr of zinc

C=gr of copper

We know the ratio between them in a certain chemical is:

\displaystyle \frac{Z}{C}=\frac{4}{17}

The jar of the chemical contains C=663 gr of copper. Calculate the grams of zinc by solving the above relation for Z:

Multiplying by C:

\displaystyle Z=\frac{4}{17}\cdot C

Substituting the value of C:

\displaystyle Z=\frac{4}{17}\cdot 663

Z=156 gr

The jar contains 156 grams of zinc

your answer is 53 1/4.

There are 7 days in a week. multiply 15 1/4 by 7. you should get 106 3/4. subtract that from 160, and you should be left with 53 1/4. I hope this helped :))

2. There are 12 high schools competing in a basketball tournament. In how many ways can the teams be placed
joja [24]

Answer:

The teams can be placed in 479,001,600 ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we want to know in how many ways 12 elements can be arranged.

Number of possible arrangements of x elements:

The number of possible arrangments of x elements is given by:

A_{x} = x!

In this question:

12 teams, so arrangment of 12 elements.

A_{12} = 12! = 479001600

The teams can be placed in 479,001,600 ways.

Given two points m and n on the coordinate plane, find the slope of line mn, and state the slope of the line perpendicular to li
ololo11 [35]
The slope of the line MN where M (9,6) and N (1,4) can be obtained by obtaining the rate of the rise over the run. This is shown below:

(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (4 - 6)/(1 - 9) = (-2)/(-8)
m1 = 1/4

The slope of the line perpendicular to line MN can be obtained by taking the negative reciprocal of the slope of line MN.

m1 = 1/4
m2 = -1/m1 = -1/(1/4) = -4

Therefore, the slope of the line perpendicular to line MN is -4.

Helen wants to find the surface area of the solid pictured on the left, so she constructs a net of the solid pictured on the rig
lana [24]

Answer:

Helen’s net is correct because she reorganized the solid as a triangular prism.

This is because the net has a rectangular base and 4 triangular sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rectangular SA one side+1 = 30 x 9 = 270 + 1s= 270 x 2 =540sq^2

Rectangular side one side +1 = 18 x 9 =  162 +1s = 162 x 2 = 324sq^2

2 x 2 triangular sides either end = 4/3 x 15 x 27.3 + 18 x 30.9 = 409.5 (x2) = 819sq^2

=864 + 360

Pyramid area = 1236.71sq^2

Volume = V=1620^3

Prove that the max and min values of asinX + bcosX are respectively sqrt.(a^2+b^2) and -sqrt(a^2+b^2) .
strojnjashka [21]
The solution to the problem is as follows:
let y = asinx + bcosx 
<span>
dy/dx = acosx - bsinx </span>
<span>
= 0 for max/min </span>
<span>
bsinx = acosx </span>
<span>
sinx/cosx = a/b </span>
<span>
tanx = a/b </span>
<span>
then the hypotenuse of the corresponding right-angled triangle is √(a^2 + b^2) </span>

<span>the max/min of y occurs when tanx = a/b </span>
<span>
then sinx = a/√(a^2 + b^2) and cosx = b/√(a^2 + b^2) </span>
<span>
y = a( a/√(a^2 + b^2)) + b( b/√(a^2 + b^2)) </span>
<span>
= (a^2 + b^2)/√(a^2 + b^2) </span>
<span>
= √(a^2 + b^2)</span>
