Initially, there are 40 grams of A and 50 grams of B, and for each gram of B, 2 grams of A is used. It is observed that 15 grams

of C is formed in 8 minutes. How much (in grams) is formed in 16 minutes? (Round your answer to one decimal place.)

Answer:

X(16)=25.71grams

Step-by-step explanation:

let X(t) denote grams of C formed in  t mins.

For X grams of C we have:

\frac{2}{3}Xg of A and \frac{1}{3}Xg of B

Amounts of A,B remaining at any given time is expressed as:

40-\frac{2}{3}Xg of A and  50-\frac{1}{3}Xg  of B

Rate at which C is formed satisfies:

\frac{dX}{dt} \infty(40-\frac{2}{3}X)(50-\frac{1}{3}X)->\frac{dX}{dt}=k(90-X)\\\therefore \frac{dX}{(90-X)^2}=kdt->\int{\frac{dX}{(90-X)^2}} \, =\int {k} \, dt  \\\therefore \frac{1}{90-X}=kt+c->90-X=\frac{1}{kt+c}\\\\X(t)=90-\frac{1}{kt+c}

Apply the initial condition,X(0)=0 ,to the expression above

0=90-\frac{1}{c} \ \ ->c=\frac{1}{90}\\\therefore\\X(t)=90-\frac{1}{kt+\frac{1}{90}} \ \ ->X(t)=90-\frac{90}{90kt+c}

Now at X(8)=15:

15=90-\frac{90}{90\times 8k+1}  \ ->75=\frac{90}{720k+1}\\k=0.0002778

Substitute  in X(t) to get

X(t)=90-\frac{90}{0.0002778t\times 90+1}\\X(t)=90-\frac{90}{0.25t+1}\\But \ t=16\\\therefore X(t)=90-\frac{90}{0.025\times16+1}\\X(t)=25.71

One hundred divided by twice a number is ten
Ludmilka [50]

\frac{100}{2x} = 10

Are you trying to find x, or are you only suppose to translate it?

If you are trying to find x, you first multiply 2x on both sides

100 = 10(2x)

Divide 10 on both sides

10 = 2x

Divide 2 on both sides

5 = x

Please help I am terrible at algebra
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

y = (x-0)^2 + (-5)  ⇒ y = x^2 - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The general vertex form of the parabola  y = a(x - h)² + k

Where (h,k) is the coordinates of the vertex.

As shown at the graph the vertex of the parabola is the point (0, -5)

So,

y = a(x-0) + (-5)

y = ax^2 - 5

To find substitute with another point from the graph like (1,-4)

So, at x = 1 ⇒ y = -4

-4 = a * 1^2 - 5

a = -4 + 5 = 1

<u>So, the equation of the given parabola is ⇒ y = x^2 - 5</u>

Use the law of cosines to find the value of 2*4*5 cos theta
sweet-ann [11.9K]
We can proceed in solving the problem since all information are given such as 2*4*5costheta.
we have a=4, b=5, and C=theta
let us solve for "c" using Pythagorean
c²=a²+b²
c²=4²+5²
c=6.4
Solving for theta or C
c²=a²+b²-2abcosC
6.4²=4²+5²-2*4*5*cosC
C=90
