<h3>Answers: </h3><h3>Use <u>60 gallons</u> of the 30% solution</h3><h3>Mix with <u>40 gallons</u> of the 80% solution</h3>

===============================

Work Shown:

x = amount of the 30% solution (in gallons)

y = amount of the 80% solution (in gallons)

The two amounts must add to 100 as this is the total we want, so x+y = 100 which becomes y = 100-x after subtracting x from both sides

The expression 0.30*x represents the amount of pure alcohol from the first batch, while 0.80*y represents the amount of pure alcohol from the second batch. In total, we have 0.30*x+0.80*y gallons of pure alcohol. We want 50 gallons of pure alcohol (50% of 100 gallons is 50 gallons), therefore we end up with this equation: 0.30*x+0.80*y = 50

Let's use substitution to isolate the variables.

0.30*x+0.80*y = 50

0.30*x+0.80*(100-x) = 50 ... replace y with 100-x

0.30*x+0.80*(100)+0.80*(-x) = 50 ... distribute

0.30*x+80-0.80x = 50

-0.50*x+80 = 50

-0.50*x+80-80 = 50-80 ... subtract 80 from both sides

-0.50*x = -30

x = -30/(-0.50) .... divide both sides by -0.50

x = 60

If x = 60, then y is...

y = 100-x

y = 100-60

y = 40

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

C. ± 2.326 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample. So we use the t-distribution to solve this question.

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1-0.98}{2} = 0.01

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1-\alpha.

So it is z with a pvalue of 1-0.01 = 0.99, so z = 2.326/tex]Now, find the width of the interval[tex]W = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

In this question:

\sigma = 5, n = 25

So

W = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

W = 2.326*\frac{5}{\sqrt{25}}

The correct answer is:

C. ± 2.326 years.

Find the measures of two angles, one positive and one negative, that are coterminal with <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfr
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

a. 11/5 pi; -9/5 pi

Step-by-step explanation:

Coterminal angles are those which have a common terminal side. For example 30° is coterminal with −330° and 390° (see figure).

From the example we can see that the following expressions must be fulfilled:

positive angle - reference angle = 360°

reference angle - negative angle = 360°

where positive angle is 390°, reference angle is 30° and negative angle is -330°. In this problem reference angle is pi/5. Also, we have to change 360° for its equivalent in radians, i. e., 2 pi. So,

positive angle - pi/5 = 2 pi

positive angle = 2 pi + pi/5

positive angle = 11/5 pi

pi/5 - negative angle = 2 pi

negative angle = pi/5 - 2 pi

negative angle = -9/5 pi
