An alloy of copper and zinc which contains 5 grams of zinc. If 15 grams of zinc are added to this alloy, a new alloy is obtained

Answer:

Initial mass = 25 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

\left(\frac{x}{x+20}\right)\:=\:\:\left(\frac{x}{x+5}\:-.3\:\right)

x = 20 (mass of copper)

\frac{20}{20+5}  = .8 = 80 percent

\\\frac{20}{20+15}  = .5 = 50 percent

Answer:

4.6

Step-by-step explanation:

For this question, we need the opposite side and have the opposite

with that said, out of SOH, CAH, TOA it's fastest to use TOA

tan(75)=17/x

17/(tan(75))=x

x= 4.555136271

which rounds to

The height of a punted football can be modeled by the function: f(x) = -.0079 x2 + 1.8x + 1.5. In this equation, f(x) is the hei
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The function used to represent the height of a punted football can be modeled as

f(x) = -.0079x² + 1.8x + 1.5

Where f(x) is the height in feet, and x is the horizontal distance, also in feet.

a) when the ball was punted, x = 0, therefore, the height of the punted ball would be

f(x) = -.0079(0)² + 1.8(0) + 1.5

f(x) = 1.5 feet

The height is 1.5 feet

b) The equation is a quadratic equation. The plot of this equation on a graph would give a parabola whose vertex would be equal to the maximum height reached by the punted ball.

The vertex of the parabola is calculated as follows,

Vertex = -b/2a

From the equation,

a = - 0.0079

b = 1.8

Vertex = - - 1.8/0.0079 = 227.84 feet

So the maximum height of the punt is 227.84 feet

How many ways can you write 5^8 as a quotient of two exponential terms? Explain your reasoning.
melisa1 [442]
Exponents can be expressed in terms of quotient or fraction.
For example: x^6 can be expressed as x^8 / x^2 = x^8-2 = x^6.

From the question, 5^8 can be expressed as 
5^10/5^2 = 5^8
(5^2)(5^8) / (5^2) = 5^8
