Answer:

1110 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = amount of 26% juice.

Amount of tomato juice:

740 liters of 36% juice contains 0.36(740) = 266.4 liters of tomato juice

x liters of 26% juice contains 0.26x liters of tomato juice

The result will be x + 740 liters of the juice blend at a concentration of 30%. It contains 0.3(x + 740) liters of tomato juice.

266.4 + 0.26x = 0.3(x + 740)

266.4 + 0.26x = 0.3x + 222

-0.04x = -44.4

x = 1110

Answer: 1110 liters

In the right ΔABC, AN is the altitude to the hypotenuse. Find BN, AN, and AC, if AB=2√5 in and NC= 1 in.

Answer:

$BN=4\ \text{in}$

$AN=2\ \text{in}$

$AC=\sqrt{5}\ \text{in}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $BN=x$

$BC=c$

$NC=y=1\ \text{in}$

$AB=a=2\sqrt{5}\ \text{in}$

$AC=b$

We have the relation

$\dfrac{BC}{AB}=\dfrac{AB}{BN}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{c}{a}=\dfrac{a}{x}\\\Rightarrow c=\dfrac{a^2}{x}\\\Rightarrow x+1=\dfrac{a^2}{x}\\\Rightarrow x^2+x=20\\\Rightarrow x^2+x-20=0\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{-1\pm \sqrt{1^2-4\times 1\times \left(-20\right)}}{2\times 1}\\\Rightarrow x=4,-5$
