Answer:
Sugar concentration of the mixed soft drink will be <em>32.5%.</em>
<em></em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Sugar concentration of first drink = 20%
Volume of first soda = 250 ml
Sugar in first soda = 20% of 250 ...... (1)
Sugar concentration of second drink = 45%
Volume of second soda = 250 ml
Sugar in second soda = 45% of 250 ...... (2)
Let be the sugar concentration in resultant mixture.
Volume of mixture = 250 + 250 = 500 ml
Sugar in mixture = of 500 ml ...... (3)
Total sugar concentration (Adding (1) and (2)) and equating it to equation (3):
20% of 250 + 45% of 250 = of 500
Hence, Sugar concentration of the mixed soft drink will be <em>32.5%.</em>
Answer:
3.189 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
You want f(t) = 0, so ...
0 = -16t^2 +13.4t +120
0 = t^2 -0.8375t -7.5 . . . . divide by -16
0 = (t^2 -0.8375t +0.41875^2) -7.5 -0.41875^2 . . . . complete the square*
0 = (t -0.41875)^2 -7.6753515625 . . . . write as a square
√7.6753515625 = t -0.41875 . . . . . . . . add 7.67... and take positive root
t = 0.41875 +√7.6753515625 ≈ 3.189192 . . . . add 0.41875
It will take the rock about 3.189 seconds to hit the ground.
_____
* We complete the square by adding the square of half the coefficient of the linear term (= (-0.8375/2)^2) inside parentheses and subtracting the same amount outside parentheses. This gives a form inside parentheses that is ...
(t^2 -2at +a^2) = (t -a)^2
Completing the square is complicated a little bit by a leading coefficient that is not 1. That is why we divided by -16 first.

<em>Comment on the question</em>
We note that the rock "falls" from the 120 foot high balcony by first traveling upward at a rate of 13.4 feet per second. We also note that the height function is written f(x), but uses t as the variable. That is, it should be f(t) = ...
