Sarah would like to make a 6 lb nut mixture that is 60% peanuts and 40% almonds. She has several pounds of a mixture that is 80%

peanuts and 20% almonds and several pounds of a mixture that is 50% peanuts and 50% almonds.
a. What is the system that models this situation?
b. What is the solution to the system? How many pounds of the 80/20 mixture? How many pounds of the 50/50 mixture?

Answer:  

<em>a.  The system of equations that models the situation is....</em>

<em>     0.80x+0.50y=3.60\\\\ 0.20x+0.50y=2.40</em>

<em>b.  The solution to the system:  x = 2 and y = 4 </em>

<em>The amount of 80/20 mixture is 2 pounds and the amount of 50/50              mixture is 4 pounds.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose, the amount of 80/20 mixture is  x pounds and the amount of 50/50 mixture is  y pounds.

So, the amount of peanuts in 80/20 mixture = 0.80x pound and the amount of almonds in 80/20 mixture =0.20x pound.

And the amount of peanuts in 50/50 mixture =0.50y pound and the amount of almonds in 50/50 mixture =0.50y pound.

Now, Sarah would like to make a 6 pounds nut mixture that is 60% peanuts and 40% almonds.

So, the amount of peanuts in that mixture =(6\times 0.60)=3.60 pounds

and the amount of almonds in that mixture =(6 \times 0.40)= 2.40 pounds.

So, the system of equations will be.........

0.80x+0.50y=3.60 ...................(1)\\\\ 0.20x+0.50y=2.40...................(2)

Subtracting equation (2) from equation (1), we will get.....

(0.80x+0.50y)-(0.20x+0.50y)=3.60-2.40\\ \\ 0.60x=1.20\\ \\ x= \frac{1.20}{0.60}=2

Now, plugging this x=2 into equation (1), we will get......

0.80(2)+0.50y=3.60\\ \\ 1.60+0.50y=3.60\\ \\ 0.50y=3.60-1.60=2\\ \\ y=\frac{2}{0.50}=4

So, the amount of 80/20 mixture is 2 pounds and the amount of 50/50 mixture is 4 pounds.

Answer:

The values are calculated with the help of table.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

A table is shown showing trees on two different plots of land which are tested for disease.

    Tree:        1           2           3           4          5           6          7        

     Plot:         A          A           B           B         B           A          B

Disease:        Y          N           Y           Y          Y          N         N

We have to find:

Calculating from the table, we can fill the values as:

                                             Plot A                Plot B

Disease Present                        1                          3

Disease not Present                2                          1

PLEASE HELP 15 POINTS
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

A.) 101

B.) 121

Step-by-step explanation:

If two angles are supplementary, that means they add up to 180 degrees. If you have an angle, and want to find it's supplement, you would subtract the given angle from 180.

180 - 79 = 101

180 - 59 = 121

Hope this helps!

Use Green's Theorem to evaluate the line integral along the given positively oriented curve.
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

∫ C ( y + e√x) dx  +  ( 2x + cosy² ) dy = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation: See Annex

Green Theorem establishes:

∫C ( Mdx  +  Ndy )  = ∫∫R ( δN/dx  -  δM/dy ) dA

Then

∫ C ( y + e√x) dx  +  ( 2x + cosy² ) dy

Here

M = 2x  + cosy²           δM/dy  =  1

N = y + e√x                 δN/dx  =  2

δN/dx  -  δM/dy  =  2  -  1   = 1

∫∫(R) dxdy   ∫∫ dxdy

Now integration limits  ( see Annex)

dy  is from   x  = y²    then     y = √x    to  y = x²   and for dx

dx   is from 0   to  1 then

∫ dy    = y | √x   ;   x²      ∫dy    =  x² - √x

And

∫₀¹ ( x² - √x ) dx    =  x³/3  - 2/3 √x |₀¹    =   1/3 - 0

∫ C ( y + e√x) dx  +  ( 2x + cosy² ) dy = 1/3
