Let be the amount (gal) of the 40% slime solution you end up using. You want to end up with 120 gal of the 50% solution, so that you would use
gal of the 70% solution.
You want the final solution to consist of 50% slime, or 60 gal of slime. Each gal of the 40% solution contributes 0.4 gal of slime, while each gal of the 70% solution contributes 0.7 gal of slime. This means
so the answer is B.
The slope of y = 3x - 4 on the interval [2, 5] is 3 and the slope of y = 2x^2-4x - 2 on the interval [2, 5] is 10
<h3>How to determine the slope?</h3>The interval is given as:
x = 2 to x = 5
The slope is calculated as:
<u>16. y = 3x - 4</u>
Substitute 2 and 5 for x
y = 3*2 - 4 = 2
y = 3*5 - 4 = 11
So, we have:
Divide
m = 3
Hence, the slope of y = 3x - 4 on the interval [2, 5] is 3
<u>17. y = 2x^2-4x - 2</u>
Substitute 2 and 5 for x
y = 2 * 2^2 - 4 * 2 - 2 = -2
y = 2 * 5^2 - 4 * 5 - 2 = 28
So, we have:
Divide
m = 10
Hence, the slope of y = 2x^2-4x - 2 on the interval [2, 5] is 10
