Answer:

78 ml of 7% vinegar and 312 ml of 12% vinegar.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent ml of 7% vinegar brand and y represent ml of 12% vinegar brand.    

We have been given that chef wants to make 390 milliliters of the dressing. We can represent this information in an equation as:

x+y=390...(1)

y=390-x...(1)

We are also told that 1st brand 7% vinegar, so amount of vinegar in x ml would be 0.07x.

The second brand contains 12 vinegar, so amount of vinegar in y ml would be 0.12y.

We are also told that the chef wants to make 390 milliliters of a dressing that is 11% vinegar. We can represent this information in an equation as:

0.07x+0.12y=390(0.11)...(2)

Upon substituting equation (1) in equation (2), we will get:

0.07x+0.12(390-x)=390(0.11)

0.07x+46.8-0.12x=42.9

-0.05x+46.8=42.9

-0.05x+46.8-46.8=42.9-46.8

-0.05x=-3.9

\frac{-0.05x}{-0.05}=\frac{-3.9}{-0.05}

x=78

Therefore, the chef should use 78 ml of the brand that contains 7% vinegar.

Upon substituting x=78 in equation (1), we will get:

y=390-78

y=312

Therefore, the chef should use 312 ml of the brand that contains 12% vinegar.

R = 2 / (1 + sin <span>θ)

Using the following relations:

R = sqrt (x^2 + y^2)
sin </span>θ = y/R
<span>
R = 2 / (1 + y/R)
R</span>(1 + y/R<span>) = 2
</span><span>R + y = 2
R = 2 - y
sqrt(x^2 + y^2) = 2 - y

Squaring both sides:
x^2 + y^2 = (2 - y)^2
x^2 + y^2 = 4 - 4y + y^2

x^2 + 4y - 4

4.b.

Answer:  See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2><u>For the equation f(x) = 2x</u></h2>

3.a.  f(6) means use x = 6 in the equation f(x) = 2x

so f(6) would be f(6)= 2(6)

<u>f(6) = 12</u>

3.b.  f(-11) = 2(-11)

<u>f(-11) = -22</u>

3.c.  f(2.75) = 2(2.75)

<u>f(2.75) = 5.5</u>

3.d.  This is turned around.  We are told f(x)=20, so what would x need to be for f(x) to be 20?  Since f(x) = 2x, we can say 20 = 2x.  Therefore x = 10

f(10) = 20

<u>The rest of (3) are solved in the same fasion.h</u>

<u></u>

<h2><u>For the equation  f(x)= 5x+50</u></h2>

4.a.  f(7) = 5(7)+50

<u>f(7) = 85</u>

4.b. f(-12)

  f(-12) = 5*(-12)+50

<u>f(-12) = -60</u>

<u></u>

Continue in the same fashion for these types of problems.
