You want to mix a 5% blue dye with a 20% blue dye to make a 12% blue dye. The function y =100(0.05)+x(0.2)/100+x gives the conce

ntration y of blue dye after you add x mL of the 20% dye to 100 mL of the 5% dye. How much of the 20% dye must you add to get a dye that is 12% concentrated?

Y = 12% = 0.12

y = 100(0.05) + x(0.2) / 100 + x
0.12 = 5 + 0.2x / 100 + x
0.12( 100 + x ) = 5 + 0.2x
12 + 0.12x = 5 + 0.2x
7 = 0.08x
x = 87.5

hope this help

Answer:

87.5 ml is needed

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : You want to mix a 5% blue dye with a 20% blue dye to make a 12% blue dye. The function y =100(0.05)+\frac{(0.2)x}{100+x} gives the concentration y of blue dye after you add x mL of the 20% dye to 100 mL of the 5% dye.

To find : How much of the 20% dye must you add to get a dye that is 12% concentrated?

Solution :

Let x be the concentration.

According to question,

y = 12% = 0.12  

We have given,

y =\frac{100(0.05)+(0.2)x}{100+x}

Put y=0.12,

0.12=\frac{100(0.05)+(0.2)x}{100+x}

0.12\times (100+x)=5+(0.2)x

12+0.12x=5+(0.2)x

12-5=(0.2)x-0.12x

7=0.08x

x=\frac{7}{0.08}

x=87.5

Therefore, 87.5 ml is needed.

PLEASE LOOK AT PHOTO! WHOEVER ANSWERS CORRECTLY I WILL MARK BRAINIEST!!
8_murik_8 [283]

Step-by-step explanation:

let m2 be x

then m1 = 4x

Since, m1+m2 = 115

therefore x + 4x = 115

5x = 115

x = 23

so , m2 = 23°

In two or more complete sentences, compare the number of x-intercepts in the graph of f(x) = x2 to the number of x-intercepts in
TEA [102]
F(x) has only one x-intercept when x=0

g(x)=-x^2-6

g(x)=-(x^2+6) so g(x) will have no x-intercepts as its maximum value will be -6.

g(x) is f(x) reflected about the x axis and shifted downwards by 6 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

A line of fit might be defined as;

a line that might best estimate the data and be used for predicting values.

This line connects most of the data points thus minimizing the squared residuals of the regression.
