Complete Question: A 25% vinegar solution is combined with triple the amount of a 45% vinegar solution and a 5% vinegar solution resulting in 20 milliliters of a 30% vinegar solution.

Write an equation that models this situation and explain what each part represents in the situation. Then solve the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

let the volume of the 45% vinegar solution be x litres ,

the volume of the 25% vinegar solution be 3x

and the volume of the 5% vinegar solution be y

summation of all gives,

x+3x+y = 20

4x + y = 20

subtracting 4x from both sides to make y the subject of the equation, we have;

y = 20 - 4x

To the concentration:

substituting for the value of x and y into equation x + 3x + y = 20, we have,

.45x + .25(3x) + .05(20-4x) = .3(20)

multiplying through by 100  to make whole figures we have;

45x + 25(3x) + 5(20-4x) = 600

45x + 75x + 100 - 20x = 600

120x - 20x + 100 = 600

100x + 100 = 600

subtracting 100 from both sides, we have;

100x = 600 - 100

100x = 500

dividing both sides by 100,

x = 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle=180

180-90 (RA) = 90

90-41= 39

Answer:

Part A)

Chorus:

c(t)=15(1.12)^t

Band:

b(t)=2t+30

Part B)

After 9 years:

The chorus will have about 41 people.

And the band will have 48 people.

Part C)

About approximately 11 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that there are 15 people in the chorus. Each year, number of people in the chorus increases by 12%. So, the chorus increases exponentially.

There are 30 people in the band. Each year, 2 new people join the band. So, the band increases linearly.

Part A)

Since after each year, the number of people in the chorus increases by 12%, the new population will be 112% or 1.12 of the previous population.

So, using the standard form for exponential growth:

c(t)=a(r)^t

Where <em>a</em> is the initial population and <em>r</em> is the rate of change.

We will substitute 15 for <em>a </em>and 1.12 for <em>r</em>. Hence:

c(t)=15(1.12)^t

This represents the number of people in the chorus after <em>t</em> years.

We are given that 2 new people join the band each year. So, it increases linearly.

Since there are already 30 people in the band, our initial point or y-intercept is 30.

And since 2 new people join every year, our slope is 2. Then by the slope-intercept form:

b(t)=mt+b

And by substitution:

b(t)=2t+30

This represents the number of people in the band after <em>t</em> years.

Part B)

We want to find the number of people in the chorus and the band after 9 years.

Using the chorus function, we see that:

c(9)=15(1.12)^9\approx41.59\approx41

There will be approximately 41 people in the chorus after 9 years.

And using the band function, we see that:

b(9)=2(9)+30=48

There will be 48 people in the band after 9 years.

Part C)

We want to determine after approximately how many years will the number of people in the chorus and band be equivalent. Hence, we will set the two functions equal to each other and solve for <em>t</em>. So:

15(1.12)^t=2t+30

Unfortunately, it is impossible to solve for <em>t</em> using normal analytic methods. Hence, we can graph them. Recall that graphically, our equation is the same as saying at what point will our two functions intersect.

Referring to the graph below, we can see that the point of intersection is at approximately (10.95, 51.91).

Hence, after approximately 11 years, both the chorus and the band will have approximately 52 people.

Answer:

√7 units, √98 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2=c^2. So 9+b^2=16. So b^2=7. So b=√7

a^2+b^2=c^2. SO 49+49=c^2. So 98=c^2. So c=√98.
