A merchant mixed 10 lb of a cinnamon tea with 2 lb of spice tea. The 12-pound mixture cost $13. A second mixture included 16 lb

of the cinnamon tea and 8 lb of the spice tea. The 24-pound mixture cost $28. Find the cost per pound of the cinnamon tea and of the spice tea.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say c is the price of cinnamon tea, and s is the price of spice tea.

10c + 2s = 13

16c + 8s = 28

Divide the second equation by 4:

4c + 2s = 7

Subtract from the first equation:

6c = 6

c = 1

Use any equation to find s.

s = 1.5

Therefore, the cinnamon tea costs $1 per pound and the spice tea costs $1.50 per pound.

Diffusion- The process by which molecules spread themselves out evenly in a given area. This happens by natural molecular movement.How do particles move across membranes?- by osmosis, active transport, simple diffusion and facilitated diffusionSimple/Passive Diffusion<span>- No energy
- Happens across cell membrane
- From high to low concentration ("down the concentration gradient")</span>Controlled/Facilitated Diffusion- diffusion across a membrane through specific protein channels in the membrane, with no energy costOsmosis- Simple diffusion of waterActive Transport<span>- Requires energy
- Happens only at specific channels
- From low to high concentration ("against the concentration gradient")</span>Concentration Gradient- difference in concentration of a substance between one area and anotherGradient- Different or unevenSemi-Permeability<span>- a type of biological membrane that will allow certain molecules or ions to pass through it by diffusion 
(- maintain a balance of water in the cell
- ability to differentiate materials that are needed and those that are not needed in the cell, keeping the cell healthy
- ability to control the amount and kind of substances through the cell membranes )</span>What must we understand? (homeostasis- cells)- Cells constantly change concentrations to their benefit and to maintain stable internal conditions.Endocytosis- the movement of bulk liquids or solids into a cell, by the indentation of the plasma membrane to form vesicles containing the substance; active process requiring ATPEndo--means 'inside'Exocytosis- the movement of bulk liquids or solids out of a cell by fusion of vesicles containing the substance with the plasma membrane; active process requiring ATPExo--means 'outside'How many types of Endocytosis are there?- 3 types of endocytosis-- phagocytosis, pinocytosis and receptor mediated endocytosisPhagocytosis- In endocytosis, if the substances being taken in are particles, such as bacteria, then process is called phagocytosisPinocytosis- In endocytosis, if the substances are in solution, such as the end products of digestion, then the process is called pinocytosisReceptor-Mediated Endocytosis- is an endocytotic mechanism in which specific molecules are ingested into the cell.Water Potential- the tendency of water molecules to move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentrationPlasmolysis- Shrinkage of protoplasm away from the cell wall of a plant or bacterium due to water loss from osmosis, therefore resulting in gaps between the cell wall and cell membrane.Protoplasm- the fluid living content of the cell-- composed mainly of nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, carbohydratesTypes of Solutions<span>- hypotonic
- isotonic
- hypertonic</span>Hypotonic<span>- concentration of dissolved substances is greater INSIDE the cell
- through osmosis, H2O diffuses INTO the cell
- hippos get fat, so will the cell 
[a less concentrated solution (one with a more negative water potential) than the cell solution]</span>Isotonic<span>- concentration of dissolved substances is EQUAL INSIDE and OUTSIDE the cell
- H2O diffuses INTO the cell and OUT of the cell at the same rate</span>Hypertonic<span>- concentration of dissolved substances is greater OUTSIDE the cell
- through osmosis, H2O diffuses OUT of the cell
- this cell will shrink
[a more concentrated solution (one with a less negative water potential) than the cell solution]</span>Gene- a length of DNA at a specific location on a chromosome that controls a specific heritable characterisicStandard Deviation (SD)<span>- measures the spread of the data in a set by describing how far the numbers are from the mean

The edges of a cube increase at a rate of 2 cm divided by s. How fast is the volume changing when the length of each edge is 40
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the edge of the cube be a .

Given

\frac{da}{dt} = 2 cm/s

Volume V = a³

\frac{dV}{dt} = 3a^ 2\frac{da}{dt}

= 3a² x 2

= 6a²

If a = 40 cm

\frac{dV}{dt} = 6 \times 40\times40

= 9600 cm³/s .
