A health clinic uses a solution of bleach to sterilize petri dishes in which cultures are grown. The sterilization tank contains

80 gal of a solution of 4% ordinary household bleach mixed with pure distilled water. New research indicates that the concentration of bleach should be 7% for complete sterilization. How much of the solution should be drained and replaced with bleach to increase the bleach content to the recommended level?

Answer:

2.5 gal would have to be replaced with 100% bleach to get the right concentration.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we drain X gal from the tank and we replace it with X gal of 100% bleach we will have in the tank: 80-X gal of 4% bleach and X gal of 100% bleach.

We can calculate the final concentration of the solution using a weighted average of the volumens where the weights are going to be the concentrations of each one:

(7%)×(80) = (4%)×(80-X) + (100%)×(X)

560 = 320-4X+100X

240 = 96X

X=2.5 gal

Find the missing value when given the modulus.
kolbaska11 [484]

Solving the complex number, we get the value of the missing value that is ‘a’ = -6

We  have been given the expression as

          |a – i| = √37          (1)

Which is an expression of complex number. The general expression of complex number is given as

    z = x + iy

 where x is the real part and iy is the imaginary part

To find the modulus value, the formula is given by,

  |z| = |x + iy|

   |z| = √[(real part)2 + (imaginary part)2]

 |z| = √(x2 + y2)

According to the question, |z| = √37         (2)

Equating equation (1) and (2), we get

√(a2 + 1) = √37

(a2 + 1) = 37

a2 = 37 – 1

a2 = 36

a = √36

a = ±6

Now value of a can be 6 or -6. We have been given that the modulus is in third quadrant.

Hence the value will be negative. Therefore, the missing value will be -6.

What is the slope of a line that passes through the points (4, 2) and (8, 5) *
Illusion [34]

Start with the slope formula.

Slope formula can be read as the second y minus the first

y over the second x minus the first x.

So for this problem, the second y minus the first y would be

5 - 2 and the second x minus the first x would be 8 - 4.

5 - 2 over 8 - 4 is 3/4.

So the slope of the line that passes through these points is 3/4.
