Let x be the amount of the solution containing 10% of the chemical. Then, the solution with 40% chemical becomes 10 - x. The equation for balancing the chemical content of the solution is,
0.10x + 0.40(10 - x) = 0.25(10)
The value of x is 5. Hence, the druggist should mix 5 ounces of each. There are 2.5 ounces of chemical in the final mixture.

SA of a pyramid: 1/2ph + B
p = perimeter of base
h = slant height
B = area of base

Perimeter of base:
The pyramid has a square base, so take a side of the base and multiply it by 4 sides to find the perimeter of the base.
(2)(4) = 8 cm

Slant height: 
The diagram shows that the slant height of the pyramid is 4 cm.

Area of base:
Since the pyramid has a square base, square one side of the base to find the area of the pyramid.
2cm² = 4 cm²

Now plug in the perimeter, slant height, and area of the base into the formula for SA of a pyramid.

1/2(8)(4) + 4 
16 + 4 = 20 cm²

The surface area of the pyramid is 20 cm².

Evaluate cot870°.<br> 1. - sqrt3<br> 2. -1/sqrt3<br> 3. 1/sqrt3<br> 4. sqrt3
ivolga24 [154]

ANSWER

-\sqrt{3}

EXPLANATION

The given angle is 870°.

870°-360°-360°=150°

This means that:

870° is coterminal with 150°, hence its terminal side is in the second quadrant.

It makes an acute angle of 30° with the x-axis.

Note that cotangent is negative in the second quadrant,

Hence,

\cot(870 \degree)  =  \cot(150 \degree)  =  -  \cot(30 \degree)  =  -  \frac{1}{ \tan(30 \degree) }  =  - \sqrt{3}

The first option is correct.

Write the equation of the line that passes through points (-7,8) and (4,-5)
Alex

Answer:

y=-3/11x+67/11

Step-by-step explanation:

y-8=-5-8/4--7(x--7)

y-8=-3/11(x+7)

11y-88=-3x-21

11y=-3x-21+88

11y=-3x+67

y=-3/11x+67/11
