A chemical company makes two brands of antifreeze. The first brand is 85% pure antifreeze, and the second brand is 90% pure anti

freeze. In order to obtain 50 gallons of a mixture that contains 50% pure antifreeze, how many gallons of EACH brand of antifreeze must be used?

Answer:

Let +a+ = gallons of 55% antifreeze needed

Let +b+ = gallons of 95% antifreeze needed

-----------------------

(1) +a+%2B+b+=+160+

(2) +%28+.55a+%2B+.95b+%29+%2F+160+=+.85+

-----------------------------------

(2) +.55a+%2B+.95b+=+.85%2A160+

(2) +.55a+%2B+.95b+=+136+

(2) +55a+%2B+95b+=+13600+

(2) +11a+%2B+19b+=+2720+

----------------------------

Multiply both sides of (1) by +11+

and subtract (1) from (2)

(2) +11a+%2B+19b+=+2720+

(1) +-11a+-+11b+=+-1760+

---------------------------

 

+8b+=+960+

+b+=+120+

and

(1) +a+%2B+120+=+160+

(1) +a+=+40+

-------------------

40 gallons of 55% antifreeze are needed

120 gallons of 95% antifreeze are needed

--------------------------------------

check:

(2) +%28+.55a+%2B+.95b+%29+%2F+160+=+.85+

(2) +%28+.55%2A40+%2B+.95%2A120+%29+%2F+160+=+.85+

(2) +%28+22+%2B+114+%29+%2F+160+=+.85+

(2) +136+=+.85%2A160+

(2) +136+=+136+

OK

The tank at a gas station contained 400 gallons of gas. A tanker truck that contained 8,100 gallons of gas filled the station's
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

1300

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount put in the station's tank = x

4(400 + x) = 8100 - x                           Remove the brackets

1600 + 4x = 8100 - x                            Subtract 1600 from both sides

1600 - 1600 + 4x = 8100 - 1600 - x     Do the subtraction

4x = 6500 - x                                        Add x to both sides

4x + x = 6500 - x + x        

5x = 6500                                            Divide by 5

5x/5 = 6500/5                                      

x = 1300

1300 gallons were added to the station's tank.

An optical inspection system is used to distinguish among different part types. The probability of a correct classification of a
Whitepunk [10]

Answer: \mu=2.88\ \&\ \sigma^2=0.115

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The probability of a correct classification of any part is : p=0.96

sample size : n= 3

The formula to find the mean and variance for binomial distribution is given by :-

\mu=np\\\\\sigma^2=np(1-p)

Let the random variable X denote the number of parts that are correctly classified.

The, for the given situation, we have

\mu=3(0.96)=2.88\\\\\sigma^2=(3)(0.96)(1-0.96)=0.1152\approx0.115

Hence, the mean and variance of X are 2.88 and 0.115 respectively.

A parabola can be drawn given a focus of (-11, -2) and a directrix of x= -3
fgiga [73]

Check the picture below, so the parabola looks more or less like that.

now, the vertex is half-way between the focus point and the directrix, so that puts it where you see it in the picture, and the horizontal parabola is opening to the left-hand-side, meaning that the distance "P" is negative.

\textit{horizontal parabola vertex form with focus point distance} \\\\ 4p(x- h)=(y- k)^2 \qquad \begin{cases} \stackrel{vertex}{(h,k)}\qquad \stackrel{focus~point}{(h+p,k)}\qquad \stackrel{directrix}{x=h-p}\\\\ p=\textit{distance from vertex to }\\ \qquad \textit{ focus or directrix}\\\\ \stackrel{"p"~is~negative}{op ens~\supset}\qquad \stackrel{"p"~is~positive}{op ens~\subset} \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}

\begin{cases} h=-7\\ k=-2\\ p=-4 \end{cases}\implies 4(-4)[x-(-7)]~~ = ~~[y-(-2)]^2 \\\\\\ -16(x+7)=(y+2)^2\implies x+7=-\cfrac{(y+2)^2}{16}\implies x=-\cfrac{1}{16}(y+2)^2-7
