How many square units are in the area of the triangle whose vertices are the x and y intercepts of the curve y = (x-3)^2 (x+2)?

6 0

The intercepts can be read from the equation as (-2, 0), (0, 18), (3, 0). These define a triangle with a base of 5 and an altitude of 18, so the area is

... A = (1/2)·5·18 = 45 . . . . square units


_____

The x-intercepts are those values of x that make one or another of the factors be zero. (x-3) is zero when x=3; (x+2) is zero when x=-2.

The y-intercept is the value when x=0. That is (-3)²·(2) = 9·2 = 18.

How much pure acid should be mixed with 6 gallons of a 20% acid solution in order to get a 90% acid solution?
beks73 [17]
So, how much acid is there in 6 gallons?  well is 20% acid or (20/100), so the amount of acid in it just (20/100) * 6 or 1.2, the rest is say water.

now, if we want a 90% solution, and say we add "y" gallons, how much acid is in it?  well (90/100) * y, or 0.9y.

now let's add "x" gallons of pure acid, now, pure acid is just pure acid, so is 100% acid, how much acid is there in it?  (100/100) * x, or 1x or just x.

we know whatever "x" and "y" amounts are, they -> x + 6 = y

and we also know that x + 1.2 = 0.9y

\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&\stackrel{gallons}{acid}&\stackrel{acid~\%}{quantity}&\stackrel{acid~gallons}{quantity}\\
&------&------&------\\
\textit{pure acid}&x&1.00&x\\
\textit{20\% sol'n}&6&0.20&1.2\\
------&------&------&------\\\
mixture&y&0.90&0.9y
\end{array}
\\\\\\
\begin{cases}
x+6=\boxed{y}\\
x+1.2=0.9y\\
----------\\
x+1.2=0.9\left( \boxed{x+6} \right)
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
x+1.2=0.9x+5.4\implies x-0.9x=5.4-1.2\implies 0.1x=4.2
\\\\\\
x=\cfrac{4.2}{0.1}\implies x=\stackrel{gallons}{42}

Work out the lengh of RS <br> gue your answer to 3 significant figures
atroni [7]

Answer:

RS ≈ 5.83 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate RS using the distance formula

d = √ (x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²

with (x₁, y₁ ) = R(- 3, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = S(2, 4)

RS = \sqrt{(2+3)^2+(4-1)^2}

     = \sqrt{5^2+3^2}

     = \sqrt{25+9}

     = \sqrt{34} ≈ 5.83 ( to 3 significant figures )

Which equation represents a circle with a center at (–3, –5) and a radius of 6 units?
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation of the circle is:

(x-h)²+(y-k)²=r²

(h, k)=(-3,-5)  are the coordinates of the center of the circle.

r=6  is the radius

The equation of the circle is:

(x+3)²+(y+5)² = 36

I want a simple explanation on how to get the answer to this question not just the answer.
AveGali [126]
The answer is= there are 126 5p coins

the reason for this is that
-630 is simplified to 5,
-so 1/5 is really 126/630,
(630 divided by 5 is 126)
- and so 2/5 is 126 x 2 =252/630
- there are only 3 parts left, and if 1p has more parts than 5p,
-then 1p takes up 2/5 of the bag
-and 5p takes up 1/5 of the bag
