How many pounds of a 4% solution of borax must be added to 24 pounds of a

Marrrta [24]3 years ago

6 0

Answer:

8 pounds of 4% solution of borax

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the 4% solution

24 pounds of 12% solution

obtain a 10% solution of borax that is (x+24) pounds

4% is 0.04 and 12% is 0.12 , 10% is 0.1

$0.04x+24(.12)=0.1(x+24)$

solve the equation for x

$0.04x+24(.12)=0.1(x+24)\\0.04x+2.88= 0.1x+2.4\\2.88= 0.06x+2.4\\0.48=0.06x\\x=8$

so 8 pounds of 4% solution of borax

Find the length of the height of the right trapezoid shown below, if it has the greatest possible area and its perimeter is equa

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

The height of the right trapezoid is $\frac{6}{5+\sqrt{3}}\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the height of the right trapezoid in units

we know that

The perimeter of the figure is equal to

$P=AB+BC+CD+DH+HA$

we have

$P=6\ units$

$AB=BC=CH=HA=x$ ---> because is a square

substitute

$6=x+x+CD+DH+x$

$6=3x+CD+DH$ -----> equation A

<em>In the right triangle CDH</em>

$sin(30\°)=\frac{CH}{CD}$

$sin(30\°)=\frac{1}{2}$

so

Remember that $CH=x$

$\frac{1}{2}=\frac{x}{CD}$

$CD=2x$

$tan(30\°)=\frac{CH}{DH}$

$tan(30\°)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}$

so

$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}=\frac{x}{DH}$

$DH=x\sqrt{3}$

substitute the values in the equation A

$6=3x+CD+DH$ -----> equation A

$CD=2x$

$DH=x\sqrt{3}$

$6=3x+2x+x\sqrt{3}$

$6=5x+x\sqrt{3}$

$6=x[5+\sqrt{3}]$

$x=\frac{6}{5+\sqrt{3}}\ units$

Y= - x^2 + 4x + 6 in vertex form

serg [7]

<h3><u>HI </u><u>THERE!</u></h3>

<u> $\rm \color{lime}(2,10)$ </u>

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

<u> $\rm \color{lime}y = - {x}^{2} + 4x + 6$ </u>

<u>identify</u><u> </u><u>the coefficients</u>

<h2 /><h2><u> $\rm \color{lime}a = - 1,b = 4$ </u></h2>

<u>substitute</u><u> the </u><u>co</u><u>efficient into the </u><u>expression</u>
<u>find the x</u><u>-</u><u>coordinate of the vertex by </u><u>substituting </u><u>a </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u> </u><u>and </u><u>b=</u><u>4</u><u> </u>
<u> $\tt \tiny \: x = - \frac{b}{29}$ </u>

<u> $\rm \color{lime}x = - \frac{4}{2x( - 1)}$ </u>

<u>solve the </u><u>equation </u><u>for </u><u>X</u>
<u>find the y</u><u>-</u><u>coordinate of the vertex by evaluating the function for x = </u><u>2</u>

<u> $\rm \color{lime}y = - {x}^{2} + 4x + 6,x = 2$ </u>

<u>calculate</u><u> </u><u>the </u><u>function value for x = 2</u>

<u> $\rm \color{lime}y = 10$ </u>

<u>since the value of the function is 10 for x = 2 the vertex of the graph of the quadratic </u><u>function</u><u> </u><u>is a </u><u>(</u><u>2</u><u>,</u><u>1</u><u>0</u><u>)</u>

<u> $= \rm \color{hotpink} (2,10)$ </u>

<u>hope </u><u>it</u><u> helps</u>
