How much water should be added to 3 gallons of pure acid in order to obtain the 15% acid solution? HELP DUE BY TOMMOROW MORNING

1 answer:

5 0

3 gallons of acid = 100% concentration acid
? (water+acid) gallons = 15 concentration acid

Note: Every gallon of water added reduces the percentage concentration of acid. Therefore, the relationship is inverse proportionality.

Solution:

Total number of gallons (water+acid) = (3*100)/15 = 20 gallons
Therefore, gallons of water = 20-3 = 17 gallons

Please. Answer Fast! Use composition to determine if G(x) or H(x) is the inverse of F(x) for the

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

A. H(x) is an inverse of F(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given functions are:

$F(x)=\sqrt{x-2}$

$G(x)=(x-2)^2$

$H(x)=x^2+2$

We compose F(x) and G(x) to get:

$(F\circ G)(x)=F(G(x))$

$(F\circ G)(x)=F((x-2)^2)$

$(F\circ G)(x)=\sqrt{(x-2)^2-2}$

$(F\circ G)(x)=\sqrt{x^2-4x+4-2}$

$(F\circ G)(x)=\sqrt{x^2-4x+2}$

$(F\circ G)(x)\ne x$

Hence G(x) is not an inverse of F(x).

We now compose H(x) and G(x).

$(F\circ H)(x)=F(H(x))$

$(F\circ H)(x)=F(x^2+2)$

$(F\circ H)(x)=\sqrt{x^2+2-2}$

We simplify to get:

$(F\circ H)(x)=\sqrt{x^2}$

$(F\circ H)(x)=x$

Since $(F\circ H)(x)=x$ , H(x) is an inverse of F(x)

Sherrod and Kamar are planning to drive at most 900 miles road trip. Sherrod drives at 60 miles per hour, and Kamar at 50 miles

Allushta [10]

The inequality gives the total expected journey from the road trip, such that the time during which Sherrod and Kamar drives is known.

a. The inequality that represents the miles that Sherrod and Kamar drives is; x + y ≤ 900

b. Two possible combination of x and y are; (600, 300) and (300, 600)

Reasons:

a. The distance distance Sherrod and Kamar plan to drive ≤ 900 miles

Sherrod's speed = 60 mph

Kamar's speed = 50 mph

The distance Sherrod drives = x

The distance Kamar drives = y

a. The miles driven by Sherrod and Kamar is given by the inequality;

x + y ≤ 900

b. Two possible combinations are;

First possible combination;

Sherrod drives for 10 hours, which gives;

Distance Sherrod drives = 60 mph × 10 hour = 600 miles

Kamar drives for 900 miles - 600 miles = 300 miles

Which gives;

Sherrod drives for 600 miles and Kamar drives for 300 miles

First combination; (600, 300)

Second possible combination;

The second possible combination is Sherrod drives for 300 miles and Kamar drives for 600 miles

Second combination; (300, 600)

Jill has a jar full of dimes and quarters. If she has a total of $27.20 and the number of quarters is less than twice the dimes,

Levart [38]

Answer: She has 76 dimes and 78 quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Total = $27.20

Solution:

Q = d + 2

Each quarter is 25 cents, or 0.25 of a dollar = 0.25q

Each dime is 10 cents = 0.10d

0.25q+0.10d = $27.20

Where q = d-2

Substitute in this equation:

0.25(d+2)+0.10d = 27.20

0.25d + 0.5 + 0.10d = 27.20

0.35d = 26.7

Divide both sides by 0.35

d = 76

She has 76 dimes and 76 + 2 = 78 quarters.
