A chemist needs 120 milliliters of a 71% solution but has only 55% and 79% solutions available. Find how many milliliters of eac

X = amount of 55% solution in mL
y= amount of 79% solution in mL

\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&amount&concentration&\textit{concentration amount}\\
&-----&-----&--------\\
\textit{55\% sol'n}&x&0.55&0.55x\\
\textit{79\% sol'n}&y&0.79&0.79y\\
-----&-----&-----&--------\\
mixture&120&0.71&(120)(0.71)
\end{array}

now.. notice, we use the decimal format for the percents, thus 55% is just 55/100, and 79% is just 79/100 and 71% is well, you guessed it, 71/100 or 0.71  anyway

whatever those amounts of x and y are, they will end up as 120mL total
so, we can say that 

x + y = 120

now, the concentration in each, they'll add up to (120)(0.71)

thus    \bf \begin{cases}
x+y=120\to \boxed{y}=120-x\\\\
0.55x+0.79y=(120)(0.71)\\
----------\\
0.55x+0.79\left( \boxed{120-x} \right)=(120)(0.71)
\end{cases}

solve for "x" to see how much 55% solution will go into the 71% mix

what about the 79% solution? well  y = 120 - x

Find the general solution of<br><br> dz/dt=5ze^(sint)cost+2e^(sint)cost
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

The general solution of given differential equation is \frac{1}{5}ln|5z+2|=e^{\sin t}+C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given differential equation is

\frac{dz}{dt}=5ze^{\sin t}\cos t+2e^{\sin t}\cos t

Taking out common factors.

\frac{dz}{dt}=(5z+2)e^{\sin t}\cos t

Using variable separable method, we get

\frac{dz}{5z+2}=e^{\sin t}\cos t dt

Integrate both sides.

\int\frac{dz}{5z+2}=\int e^{\sin t}\cos t dt

I_1=I_2         .... (1)

First solve LHS,

I_1=\int\frac{dz}{5z+2}

Substitute 5z+2=u

5\frac{dz}{du}=1

dz=\frac{1}{5}du

I_1=\frac{1}{5}\int\frac{du}{u}

I_1=\frac{1}{5}ln|u|+C_1

I_1=\frac{1}{5}ln|5z+2|+C_1

Now, solve RHS,

I_2=\int e^{\sin t}\cos t dt

Substitute \sin t=v,

\cos t\frac{dt}{dv}=1

\cos tdt=dv

I_2=\int e^{v}dv

I_2=e^{v}+C_2

I_2=e^{\sin t}+C_2

Subtitle the values of I₁ and I₂ in equation (1).

\frac{1}{5}ln|5z+2|+C_1=e^{\sin t}+C_2

\frac{1}{5}ln|5z+2|=e^{\sin t}+C_2-C_1

\frac{1}{5}ln|5z+2|=e^{\sin t}+C

Therefore the general solution of given differential equation is \frac{1}{5}ln|5z+2|=e^{\sin t}+C.

The sum of 5 consecutive even numbers is 216. What is the third number in the sequence
alexandr1967 [171]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:  NO solution possible!


Steps:

Let "n" be the first even number. We are told that


n + (n+2) + (n+4) + (n+6) + (n +8)  = 216


The third number, the value we want, is boldfaced above.


Simplify the above equation:

5n + ( 2 + 4 + 6 + 8 ) = 216   or


5n +  20  = 216  or

5n = 196


n = 196/5   is NOT an integer value.  This problem, as stated, has no solution.

Regards, MrB
