Equations
Let the number of liters of 80% acid = x
Let the number of liters of 40% acid = y
x + y = 2
80%x + 40%y = 65% * 2
Step One
multiply the 2nd given by 100
(80/100)x + (40/100)y = (65/100)*2
80x + 40y = 2*65 = 130 (3)
Step Two
Multiply the first given equation by 80
80x + 80y = 160 (4)
Step Three
Subtract (4) - (3)
80x + 80y = 160
<u>80x + 40y = 130</u>
40y = 30 Divide by 40
y = 30/40
y = 3/4 = 0.75
What you have found is that out of 2 liters, 0.75 L must be the 40% acid.
Step Four
Find the 80% volume
x + y = 2
y = 0.75 L
x + 0.75 = 2
x = 2 - 0.75
x = 1.25 L
Answers
80% Volume = 1.25 L
40% Volume = 0.75 L
If I'm not wrong, all you have to do is use the distributive property.
The product of something means multiplying the terms together.
(2x+3) (4x^2-5x+6)
Secondly you need to distribute the terms to each other (Think of problems like FOIL)
2x * 4x^2 + 2x(-5x) + 2x * 6 + 3 * 4x^2 + 3(-5x) + 3 * 6
Then you must take into account that some of the numbers are negative. (minus-plus rules!)
2x * 4x^2 - 2x * 5x + 2x * 6 + 3 * 4x^2 - 3 * 5x + 3 * 6
Now is the tricky part of simplifying everything.
2x * 4x^2 = 8x^3
2x * 5x = 10x^2
2x * 6 = 12x
3 * 4x^2 = 12x^2
3 * 5x = 15x
3 * 6 = 18
8x^3 - 10x^2 + 12x + 12x^2 - 15x + 18
Then you group like terms.
8x^3 - 10x^2 + 12x^2 - 3x + 18
8x^2 + 2x^2 - 3x + 18
The trickiest part of this is distributing all of the terms within the parentheses, once you've done that, it's smooth sailing!
Hey! :)
Some things to note: When you bring a exponent to the numerator, you make it negative.
When you put an exponent to another exponent, you multiply the exponents together.
so that is your answer, please let me know if you need more of an explanation. :)
Option C is correct
The value of h(f(x)) is, x
Inverse function:
An inverse function that undergoes the other function.
For example: if f(x) is the inverse of g(x) then;
for every x.
As per the statement:
If h(x) is the inverse of f(x).
by definition of inverse:
Therefore, the value of h(f(x)) is, x
