Suppose a lab needs to make 400 liters of a 39% acid solution, but the only solutions available to the lab are 20% acid and 50%

acid. What system of equations can be used to find the number of liters of each solution that should be mixed to make the 39% solution? Let c represent the number of liters of 20% acid solution and let d represent the number of liters of 50% acid solution.

Mixture problem.
Ratio of 20% : 50% acids
=50-39 : 39-20
=11:19
total volume
=400L
vol. of 20% acid=400*(11/(11+19)=400*(11/30)=146.667 L
vol. of 50% acid=400*(19/(11+19)=253.333 L

Alternatively, use c=volume of 20%, d=vol of 50%
then
0.2c+0.5d=400*0.39
Since c+d=400, we have
0.2c+0.5(400-c)=400*0.39=156
solve for c:
0.3c=44
c=146.667 and d=400-c=253.333  as before.

Brrunno [24]
Compound percentage reduction can be calculated by multiplying the initial number by (1-x)^t where x is the percentage reduction (/100, i.e. 1% reduction is 0.01), and t is the number of times it has reduced.

So:
a) p=45(1-0.06)^t=45*0.94^t
Where t is the number of weeks.

We can then just substitute in to work out the final pressure:
b) p = 45*0.94^6 = 31psi

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = ax² + bx + c

~~~~~~~

(4, - 2), (8, 6), (2, 0)

a(4²) + b(4) + c = - 2

a(8²) + b(8) + c = 6

a(2²) + b(2) + c = 0

16a + 4b + c = - 2 .............. <em>(1)</em>

64a + 8b + c = 6 ............... <em>(2)</em>

4a + 2b + c = 0 ................. <em>(3)</em>

a = 0.5 ; b = - 4 ; c = 6

<em>y = 0.5x² - 4x + 6</em>

Part A: (0, 6), (6, 0)

Part B: (0,6)

Part C: (6, 0)

Part D: [ 4, ∞ )
