13.15 ounces of 72% acid and 71.85 ounces of 25% acid are needed

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Total mass of acid required= 85 ounces

Let the mass of 72% acid be 'a'

Let the mass of 25% acid be 'b'

a + b = 85

b = 85-a

85(40/100) = a(72/100) + b(25/100)

85(2/5) = a(72/100) +(85- a) (25/100)

34 = (72a/100) + (2125/100) - (25a/100)

34 - (2125/100) = (72a + 25a) /100

(3400-2125)/100 = 97a /100

97a = 1275

a =  13.15 ounces

b = 85 - 13.14

b = 71.85 ounces

13.15 ounces of 72% acid and 71.85 ounces of 25% acid are needed

The large puppy weighs 20.97 Pounds. This is because 2/3 of a hundred is 66. You would do 4.5 Times 4.66. This equals 20.97. It can be rounded to 21. Hope this helps!

Match each operation involving f(x) and g(x) to its answer
eimsori [14]

Answer:

(g-f) (-1)= sqrt(15)

(f/g)(-1)= 0

(g+f)(2)=sqrt(3)-3

(g*f)(2)=-3*sqrt(3)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to eval the expressions given in the point indicated.

Lets start by the first equation

(g-f)(-1)= g(-1) - f(-1)= \sqrt{11-4*(-1)}    - 1 +(-1)^{2} = \sqrt{15}

Now, lest continue with the others

(f/g)(-1)= f(-1)/g(-1)= (1-1)/sqrt(15)=0

(g+f)(2)=g(2)+f(2)=sqrt(3)-3

(g*f)(2)=g(2)*f(2)=sqrt(3)*(-3)=-3sqrt(3)
