Yes indeed it is. Your correct
Step-by-step explanation:
Since, roots are - 3 & 2
Therefore, (x + 3) & (x - 2) would be factors.
Leading coefficient is 5
Hence, required quadratic equation is:

A pharmacist has 40% and 80% of iodine solutions on hand. How many liters of each iodine solution will be required to produce 4 liters of a 50% iodine mixture?
.
Let x = liters of 40% iodine
then
4-x = liters of 80% iodine
Using algebra:
.40x + .80(4-x) = .50(4)
.40x + 3.20-.80x = 2
3.20-.40x = 2
x = 4 liters (40% iodine)
80% iodine:
4-x = 4-4 = 0 liters needed (80% iodine)
Answer:
It weighs 40 pounds on mars
Step-by-step explanation:
Direct proportion is the relationship between two variables when their ratio is equal to a constant value
- It can be expressed as y = k x, where y varies directly as x and k is constant of variation
- It can be expressed as
∵ The weight of an object on mars varies directly as the weight
of the object on earth
∴ w(m) = k × w(e)
∵ The weight of the object on earth is 75 pound
∴ w(e) = 75
∵ The weight of this object on mars is 25 pounds
∴ w(m) = 25
- Substitute them in the equation of variation
∵ 25 = k × 75
- Divide both sides by 75
∴
= k
∴ w(m) =
× w(e)
∵ An object weighs 120 pounds on earth
∴ w(e) = 120
- Substitute it in the equation of variation
∴ w(m) =
× 120
∴ w(m) = 40
∴ It weighs 40 pounds on mars
