Roberta wants to create 17 ounces of new hand lotion, with a minimum 15% concentration of beeswax, from a mixture of two lotions

. One lotion has a 21% concentration of beeswax, and the second lotion has a concentration of 5% beeswax. Based on the inequality below, how much of the 21% lotion, x, will she need? 0.21x + 0.05(17 - x) > 2.55

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality

0.21x + 0.05(17 - x) > 2.55 where x is the amount of 21% lotion needed

Given

0.21x + 0.05(17 - x) > 2.55

Open the parenthesis

0.21x + 0.85-0.05x > 2.55

Collect like terms

0.21x-0.05x+0.85>2.55

0.16x+0.85>2.55

0.16x>2.55-0.85

0.16x > 1.7

x > 1.7/0.16

x > 10.625

Hence she will need 21% lotion approximately greater than 10 ounces

If f(x)= 3-2 and g(x)=1/x+5 what is the vue of (f/g) (8)
Lena [83]

Answer:

The value of (f/g) (8) = -169

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: explaining the question</u>

The quotient (f/g) is not defined at values of x ⇒  both the functions must be defined at a point for the combination to be defined.

⇒(f/g)(x) =(f(x)) / (g(x))

If f(x)= 3-2 and g(x)=1/x+5

⇒then according to the preceding formula: (f/g)(x) =(f(x)) / (g(x))

⇒(f/g)(8) = f(8) / g(8)

to solve this we have to find the value of both f(8) and g(8)

<u>Step 2: find value of f(8) and g(8)</u>

⇒ we know that f(x) = 3-2x and we know dat f(x) = f(8)

⇒ f(8) = 3-2(8)

f(8) = 3-16 = -13

⇒we know that g(x) = 1/x+5  and g(x) = g(8)

⇒ g(8) = 1/8+5

g(8) =1/13

These 2 equations we will insert in the following : ⇒(f/g)(8) = f(8) / g(8)

⇒ f/g (8) = -13 / (1/13) = -13 * 13/1 = -169

The value of (f/g) (8) = -169
