Answer:

19% alcohol solution = 65 ounces

37% alcohol solution = 25 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

19% alcohol solution = x

37% alcohol solution = y

x + y = 90 (1)

0.19x + 0.37y = 90*0.24

0.19x + 0.37y = 21.60 (2)

from (1)

x = 90 - y

Substitute into (2)

0.19x + 0.37y = 21.60

0.19(90-y) + 0.37y = 21.60

17.1 - 0.19y + 0.37y = 21.60

- 0.19y + 0.37y = 21.60 - 17.1

0.18y = 4.5

y = 4.5/0.18

y = 25 ounces

x + y = 90 (1)

x + 25 = 90

x = 90 - 25

x = 65 ounces

Which graph represents the following piecewise defined function?
kenny6666 [7]
The correct answer is shown in attached figure
To find the correct graph, we should study the continuity of the function

Check the continuity at x = -2
from the left ⇒⇒ f(-2) = 1/2 * -2 + 3 = 2
from the right ⇒⇒ f(-2) = 2
∴ The function is continuous at x = -2

Check the continuity at x = 3
from the left ⇒⇒ f(3) = 2
from the right ⇒⇒ f(3) = 2*3 - 3 = 3
∴ The function is jump discontinuous at x = 3


From the previous results the correct graph is the last as shown in attached graph.
