Answer:

40 liters of 88-octane gasoline should be mixed

Step-by-step explanation:

Here in this question, we are interested in calculating the number of liters of 88-octane gasoline that should be mixed with 100 liters of 95-octane gasoline to get a mixture of 93-octane gasoline.

Since we do not know the number of liters, we can represent it by x

This means that the total number of liters of the 93-octane gasoline we are looking at producing is (100 + x) liters.

Thus, if we multiply the number of liters of each gasoline type by their isooctane content and add together, we will obtain the product;

Hence;

88(x) + 100(95) = 93(100 + x)

88x + 9500 = 9300 + 93x

93x -88x = 9500-9300

5x = 200

x = 200/50

x = 40 liters

7(3 \times x + 4) + 2 < 156 \\ 21 \times x + 28 + 2 < 156 \\ 21 \times x + 30 < 156 \\ 21 \times x < 156 - 30 \\ 21 \times x < 126 \\ x  <   \frac{126}{21}  \\ x < 6

4. A horizontal ellipse, centered at the origin has a major axis of 10 units and minor axis of 8 units. Write the
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

\frac{x^2}{25} +\frac{y^2}{16} =1

Step-by-step explanation:

For ellipses, the length of the major axis is represents as:

Major axis = 2a

where a is called the semi-major axis.

In this case since the major axis is equal to 10 units:

10=2a

solving for the semi-major axis a :

a=10/2\\a=5

and also the minor axis of an ellipse is represented as:

Minor axis = 2b

where b  is called the semi-minor axis.

Since the minor axis has a length of 8 units:

8=2b

solving for b:

b=8/2\\b=4

Now we can use the equation for an ellipse centered at the origin (0,0):

\frac{x^2}{a^2} +\frac{y^2}{b^2} =1

and substituting the values for a and b:

\frac{x^2}{5^2} +\frac{y^2}{4^2} =1

and finall we simplify the expression to get the equation of the ellipse:

\frac{x^2}{25} +\frac{y^2}{16} =1
