Find two numbers whose difference is 140 and whose product is a minimum

Mathematics

aalyn [17]3 years ago

If x is the smaller number, then the product is x(x+140). This expression describes an upward-opening parabola with zeros at 0 and -140, hence a minimum at x = -70.

Your two numbers are -70 and 70. Their product is -4900.

Offering 40 points and brainliest for answer
Nata [24]
In fact, this problem belongs to the chemistry section.  Recall that many other sciences require mathematical calculations.  The problem will belong to Mathematics only if no knowledge of other sciences are required to solve the problem.

Solubility for the given substances is measured in grams per 100 g of water at a particular temperature (20 deg.C).
This means that the mass (assumed to be the solute) will not change the solubility, just the minimum quantity of solvent (water) will.
Thus the solubility of sodium chloride will remain L=36 g/100g H2O for any quantity of solute.  Similarly, the solubility of lead nitrate will remain as K=54 g/100 g H2O.

The reason that they remain constant is because the quantity of solvent (water) is fixed at 100 g.  Varying amount of solute will affect the quantity of solvent required, but not the solubility.
I'll leave it to you to calculate the difference between K & L.

What is te percent increase from 26 to 32
Aleksandr [31]
A change from 26 to 36 represents a positive change (increase) of 38.46153846153847%

Use the formula found below on this webpage to find the percent change by replacing the given values:

Percent change = [(26 - 36) / 26] x 100 = 38.46153846153847 % (increase)

Where: 26 is the old value and 36 is the new value. In this case we have a positive change (increase) of 38.46153846153847 percent because the new value is greater than the old value.   So this is rounding to 38.4!
