A little Algebra, and we're home free!

We are given R = 20 and r2 = 75. We need to find r1.

The formula is 1/R = 1/r1 + 1/r2. Plug-in:
1/20 = 1/r1 + 1/75
1/20 - 1/75 = 1/r1
0.0366 = 1/r1
r1 = 1/0.03666
r1 = 27.272

Our answer is r1 = 27 ohms.

Answer:

The correct answer is c. 27\Omega

Step-by-step explanation:

- The first step is to get the r_1 variable for alone on one side.

\frac{1}{r}=\frac{1}{r_1}+\frac{1}{r_2}

  • Pass the term \frac{1}{r_2} to subtract to the left side.

\frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{r_2}=\frac{1}{r_1}

  • Pass the term \frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{r_2} to divide to the right side and pass the term r_1 to multiply to the left side.

r_1=\frac{1}{\frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{r_2}}

- The second step is to replace the values of r and r_2 into the previous expression.

r_1=\frac{1}{\frac{1}{20}-\frac{1}{75}}

- The third step is to perform the operations to simplify the expression.

r_1=\frac{1}{0.05-0.01333}

r_1=\frac{1}{0.03666}

r_1=27.2727\Omega

As it is necessary to round the answer, the value of r_1 is 27\Omega.

Thus, the correct answer is c. 27\Omega

Which equation represents a circle with a center at (–4, 9) and a diameter of 10 units?
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

(x + 4)^2 + (y – 9)^2 = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form for a circle is

(x - h)^{2} + (y - k)^{2}  = r^{2}     where (h, k) is the center and r is the radius

In your case, h = -4 and k = 9 and r = 5

So, (x + 4)^2 + (y – 9)^2 = 25

A pharmacist wants to make 36ml of a 65% hydrogen peroxide solution. how many pls of 75% hydrogen peroxide must he mix with 57%
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

16 mls of the 75% solution and 20 mls of the 0.57% solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a system of equations:

Let x = volume of 75% solution and y be volume of 57% solution

0.75x + 0.57y = 36*0.65

0.75x + 0.57y = 23.4.......(1)

x + y = 36.........(2)

From equation (2):

y = 36 - x

Substituting this into equation(1):

0.75x + (0.57(36 - x) = 23.4

0.75x + 20.52 - 0.57x = 23.4

0.18x = 23.40 - 20.52 = 2.88

x = 2.88/0.18

x = 16

so from equation (2): y = 36-16 = 20.

Find the complex zeros of the following polynomial tunction and use the complex zeros to factor f
kramer

Answer:

x = 5 or x = 5 + 2 i or x = 5 - 2 i

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

x^3 - 15 x^2 + 79 x - 145 = 0

Hint: | Factor the left-hand side.

The left hand side factors into a product with two terms:

(x - 5) (x^2 - 10 x + 29) = 0

Hint: | Find the roots of each term in the product separately.

Split into two equations:

x - 5 = 0 or x^2 - 10 x + 29 = 0

Hint: | Look at the first equation: Solve for x.

Add 5 to both sides:

x = 5 or x^2 - 10 x + 29 = 0

Hint: | Look at the second equation: Solve the quadratic equation by completing the square.

Subtract 29 from both sides:

x = 5 or x^2 - 10 x = -29

Hint: | Take one half of the coefficient of x and square it, then add it to both sides.

Add 25 to both sides:

x = 5 or x^2 - 10 x + 25 = -4

Hint: | Factor the left-hand side.

Write the left hand side as a square:

x = 5 or (x - 5)^2 = -4

Hint: | Eliminate the exponent on the left-hand side.

Take the square root of both sides:

x = 5 or x - 5 = 2 i or x - 5 = -2 i

Hint: | Look at the second equation: Solve for x.

Add 5 to both sides:

x = 5 or x = 5 + 2 i or x - 5 = -2 i

Hint: | Look at the third equation: Solve for x.

Add 5 to both sides:

Answer: x = 5 or x = 5 + 2 i or x = 5 - 2 i

ycow [4]

Answer:

1. $13.7

2. $6.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Bruce used a $20 to pay for a movie ticket for $7.50, popcorn for $3.95,and a drink for $2.25

1. How much money did Bruce spend in all?

$7.50 + $3.95 + $2.25

=$13.7

2. How much change did he get back?

= $20 - $13.7

= $6.3
