Answer:

She should add 72 ml of the 20%-acidic solution and 48 ml of the 45%-acidic solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

The volume of the final solution will be the sum of the volume of each solution:

let x be the volume of the solution that is 20% acidic and y the volume of the solution that is 45% acidic. Then:

x + y = 120 ml

The amount of acid (let´s call it acidity units) of the total solution will be the sum of the amount of acid of each solution. If the final solution has 30 acidity units in 100 ml, then in 120 ml there will be (120 ml · 30 acidity units / 100 ml) 36 acidity units (concentration times volume over 100). Then the sum of the acidity units can be expressed as follows:

20/100 x + 45/100 y = 36

0.2x + 0.45y = 36

Then, we have a system of equations that we can solve because there are two equations and two unknowns:

x + y = 120 ml

0.2x + 0.45 y = 36

The solution of the system will be the pair (x,y) that satisfies both equations.

Let´s take the first equation and solve it for y:

x + y = 120 ml

subtract x to both sides of the equation

y = 120 - x

Now replace y in the second equation:

0.2x + 0.45 y = 36

0.2x + 0.45(120 - x) = 36

Apply distributive property

0.2x + 54 - 0.45x = 36

subtract 54 to both sides of the equation

-0.25x = 36 - 54

-0.25x = -18

divide both sides of the equation by -0.25

x = -18/-0.25

x = 72

Now, let´s calculate y:

y = 120 - x

y = 120 - 72

y = 48

She should add 72 ml of the 20%-acidic solution and 48 ml of the 45%-acidic solution.

Express (sin 30 + i cos 30)^18​
Savatey [412]

Answer:

-i.

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying DeMoivre' s theorem:

(sin 30 + i cos 30)^18​

= sin(18*30) + i cos(18*30)

= sin 540 + i cos 540

= sin (3*180) + i cos (3*180)

= 0 + -1 * i

= -i.

Describe the transformation required to obtain the graph of the given function from the basic trigonometric graph.
Alik [6]

Answer:

Option d

Step-by-step explanation:

If the graph of the function y=cf(x) +b  represents the transformations made to the graph of y= f(x)  then, by definition:

If  0 then the graph is compressed vertically by a factor c.

If  |c| > 1 then the graph is stretched vertically by a factor c.

If c  then the graph is reflected on the x axis.

If b> 0 the graph moves vertically upwards.

If b the graph moves vertically down

In this problem we have the function y=cscx -9 and our parent function is y = cscx

therefore it is true that c =1  and b =-9 < 0

Therefore the graph of y=cscx is not stretched vertically and is not reflected.  however as b then the graph moves vertically 9 units down. <u><em>Observe the image</em></u>

The answer is <em>"vertical translation down 9 units"</em>

If 6 teenagers can drink 6 ice cream sodas in 2 minutes. how many ice cream sodas can the same 6 teenagers drink in 2 hours
san4es73 [151]
Not sure if I’m correct, but 360 because I’m 1 minute they can drink 3 ice cream sodas, so multiply 3 by 60, the 60 is supposed to be 60 minutes, once you get that amount that you multiplied (180) add it again (180+180) the total should be your answer.
