<h3>Answer:</h3>
  • <u>20</u> kg of 20%
  • <u>80</u> kg of 60%
<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

I like to use a little X diagram to work mixture problems like this. The constituent concentrations are on the left; the desired mix is in the middle, and the right legs of the X show the differences along the diagonal. These are the ratio numbers for the constituents. Reducing the ratio 32:8 gives 4:1, which totals 5 "ratio units". We need a total of 100 kg of alloy, so each "ratio unit" stands for 100 kg/5 = 20 kg of constituent.

That is, we need 80 kg of 60% alloy and 20 kg of 20% alloy for the product.

_____

<em>Using an equation</em>

If you want to write an equation for the amount of contributing alloy, it works best to let a variable represent the quantity of the highest-concentration contributor, the 60% alloy. Using x for the quantity of that (in kg), the amount of copper in the final alloy is ...

... 0.60x + 0.20(100 -x) = 0.52·100

... 0.40x = 32 . . . . . . . . . . .collect terms, subtract 20

... x = 32/0.40 = 80 . . . . . kg of 60% alloy

... (100 -80) = 20 . . . . . . . .kg of 20% alloy

The walking distance that is saved by cutting across the lot is
dezoksy [38]
Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we have x^2+(x+2)^2=51^2, and
x^2+ x^2+4x+4=2x^2+4x+4=51^2. After that, we subtract 51^2 from both sides to get 2x^2+4x-2597. Using the quadratic formula (x=(-b+-sqrt(b^2-4ac))/2a in ax^2+bx+c), we get around 35 for x. We did + instead of minus after b due to that it can't be negative! x+2=37, so you save 35+37-51=around 21 feet

. The estimate regression equation for a model involving two independent variables and 10 observations follows.y = 29.1270 + 0.5
beks73 [17]

Answer:

b) y = 289.815 when x_1 = 180 \text{ and } x_2 = 310

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

y = 29.1270 + 0.5906x_1 + 0.4980x_2

where y is the dependent variable,

x_1, x_2 are the independent variable.

The multiple regression equation is of the form:

y = b_0 + b_1x_1 + b_2x_2

where,

b_0: is the intercept of the equation and is the value of dependent variable when all the independent variable are zero.

b_1: It is the slope coefficient of the independent variable x_1.

b_2: It is the slope coefficient of the independent variable x_2.

  • The regression coefficient in multiple regression is the slope of the linear relationship between the dependent and the part of a predictor variable that is independent of all other predictor variables.

Comparing the equations, we get:

b_1 = 0.5906\\b_2 = 0.4980

  • This means holding x_2 constant, a change of one in x_1 is associated with a change of 0.5906 in the dependent variable.
  • This means holding x_1 constant, a change of 1 in x_2 is associated with a change of 0.4980 in the dependent variable.

b) We have to estimate the value of y

y = 29.1270 + 0.5906(180) + 0.4980(310) = 289.815
