A chemist is mixing one solution that is 32% sodium and another solution that is 12% sodium how many liters of each type should

In order to solve the amount of each solution, we need to set up equations. We do as follows:

Let x = solution with 32% sodium
y = solution with 12% sodium

Overall balance
x + y = 50

Component balance
.32x + .12y = 50(.20) =10

Solving simultaneously,

x = 20
y = 30

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

The solutions to the system of equations are (-2,-6) and (4,6)

<h3>How to determine the system of equations?</h3>

We have:

-2x + y = -2

$y = -\frac12x^2 + 3x + 2$

Next, we plot the graph of both functions.

From the attached graph, the equations intersect at (-2,-6) and (4,6)

Hence, the solutions to the system of equations are (-2,-6) and (4,6)

Which is the inverse of the function a(d)=5d-3? And use the definition of inverse functions to prove a(d) and a-1(d) are inverse

Drupady [299]

Answer:

$a'(d) = \frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$

$a(a'(d)) = a'(a(d)) = d$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$a(d) = 5d - 3$

Solving (a): Write as inverse function

$a(d) = 5d - 3$

Represent a(d) as y

$y = 5d - 3$

Swap positions of d and y

$d = 5y - 3$

Make y the subject

$5y = d + 3$

$y = \frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$

Replace y with a'(d)

$a'(d) = \frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$

Prove that a(d) and a'(d) are inverse functions

$a'(d) = \frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$ and $a(d) = 5d - 3$

To do this, we prove that:

$a(a'(d)) = a'(a(d)) = d$

Solving for $a(a'(d))$

$a(a'(d)) = a(\frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5})$

Substitute $\frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$ for d in $a(d) = 5d - 3$

$a(a'(d)) = 5(\frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}) - 3$

$a(a'(d)) = \frac{5d}{5} + \frac{15}{5} - 3$

$a(a'(d)) = d + 3 - 3$

$a(a'(d)) = d$

Solving for: $a'(a(d))$

$a'(a(d)) = a'(5d - 3)$

Substitute 5d - 3 for d in $a'(d) = \frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$

$a'(a(d)) = \frac{5d - 3}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$

Add fractions

$a'(a(d)) = \frac{5d - 3+3}{5}$

$a'(a(d)) = \frac{5d}{5}$

$a'(a(d)) = d$

Hence:

$a(a'(d)) = a'(a(d)) = d$
