A metallugarist has an alloy with 6% titanium and an alloy with 20% titanium. He needs 100 grams of an alloy with 13% titanium.

How much of each alloy should be mixed to attain the 100 grams of alloy with 13% titanium?

\bf \begin{array}{lccclllll}
&amount(g)&\textit{\% of titanium}&\textit{grams of titanium}\\
&-----&-----&-------\\
\textit{6\% alloy}&x&0.06&0.06\cdot  x\\
\textit{20\% alloy}&y&0.2&0.2\cdot  y\\
----&-----&-----&-----\\
mixture&100&0.13&100\cdot 0.13\to 13
\end{array}

so.. .whatever those amounts are, of "x" and "y", for the mixture,
they must add up to 100 grams, or x + y = 100

and the titanium percentage of that sum, must yield a 13 grams of titanium on those 100 grams

thus \bf \begin{cases}
x+y=100\to y=\boxed{100-x}
\\\\
0.06x+0.2\boxed{y}=13
\end{cases}

do the substitution, and solve for "x",

what's "y" amount?  well, y = 100 - x

NEED HELP NOW!!!!

Answer:

f(x) = -3x --->#6

f(x) = |x-1|+3 --->#5

f(x) = √(x+3) --->#3

1/2x² --->#1

f(x) = (x+1)²-3 --->#4

4|x|--->#2

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall for transformations:

  • Adding a number outside the function moves it up
  • Subtracting a number outside the function moves it down
  • Adding inside the function moves it to the left
  • Subtracting inside the function moves it to the right
  • Multiplying to the function by a number less than 1 compresses
  • Multiplying to a function by a number greater than 1 stretched it
  • Multiplying by a negative flips the graph

f(x) = -3x

This is multiplication by a number greater than 1 and a negative so this stretches and flip. This is #6, a reflection.

f(x) = |x-1|+3

Subtraction inside the function shifts it to the right 1 and addition outside shifts it up 3. This is #5.

f(x) = √(x+3)

Addition inside the function shifts it to the left 3. This is #3

1/2x²

Multiplication by 1/2 which is less than 1 compresses it. This is #1.

f(x) = (x+1)²-3

Addition inside the function shifts the function to the left once. This is #4.

4|x|

Multiplying by 4, a number greater than 1, stretches it. This is #2.

Can you put these number from least to greatest?

The correct order would be:

5/64 x 3, 1/16 x 3, 3/32 x 4, 11/64 x 4, 7/16 x 3, 3/4 x 2, 3/8 x 4, 1 7/8 x 4, 2.25 x 2, 1.5 x 4, 3 3/8 x 3, 3.75 x 3

First we have to take all of the numbers and do the multiplication. It's often easiest to turn them in to decimals so that you have a common form.

3/32 x 4 = 3/8 = .375

3/4 x 2 = 3/2 = 1.5

1 7/8 x 4 = 15/4 = 3.75

2.25 x 2 = 4.5

1.5 x 4 = 6

3/8 x 4 = 3/2 = 1.5

5/64 x 3 = 5/32 = .156

3.75 x 3 = 11.25

1/16 x 3 = 3/16 = .1875

7/16 x 3 = 21/16 = 1.31

3 3/8 x 3 = 81/8 = 10.125

11/64 x 4 = 11/16 = .687

Now we can use those to put in order.

5/64 x 3 = 5/32 = .156

1/16 x 3 = 3/16 = .1875

3/32 x 4 = 3/8 = .375

11/64 x 4 = 11/16 = .687

7/16 x 3 = 21/16 = 1.31

3/4 x 2 = 3/2 = 1.5

3/8 x 4 = 3/2 = 1.5

1 7/8 x 4 = 15/4 = 3.75

2.25 x 2 = 4.5

1.5 x 4 = 6

3 3/8 x 3 = 81/8 = 10.125

3.75 x 3 = 11.25
