Answer: Amount of 35% solution required = 100 milliliters

Amount of 87% solution required  = 30 milliliters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Total solution required =  130 milliliters

Let x = Amount of 35% solution (in milliliters).

Then, Amount of 87% solution required = 130 - x

As per given,

Concentration = 0.35x +0.87(130-x)=0.47(130)

0.35x +113.1-0.87x=61.1\\\\\Rightarrow\ -0.87x+0.35x=61.1-113.1\\\\\Rightarrow\ -0.52 x= -52\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{52}{0.52}=100

Hence, Amount of 35% solution required = 100 milliliters

Amount of 87% solution required  = 130-100 milliliters =30 milliliters

A box has a base of 12 inches by 12 inches and a height of 30 inches. What is the length of the interior diagonal of the box? Ro
Wittaler [7]

The sides of the box are 12in by 12in by 30in.

The interior diagonal =[12^2+12^2+30^2]0.5

=[144+144+900]^0.5

=1188^0.5

The final answer is 34.47in.

My deepest apology if this is not what you meant.

= 34.47in.

An arithmetic sequence is defined by the general term tn = -5 + (n - 1)78, where n ∈N and n ≥ 1. What is the recursive formula o
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

In general for arithmetic sequences, recursive formulas are of the form

aₙ = aₙ₋₁ + d,

and the explicit formula (like tₙ in your problem), are of the form

aₙ = a₁ + (n - 1)d,

where d is the common difference. So converting between the two of these isn't so bad. In this case, your problem wants you to have an idea of what t₁ is (well, every answer says it's -5, so there you are) and what tₙ₊₁ is. Using the formulas above and your given tₙ = -5 + (n - 1)78, we can see that the common difference is 78, so no matter what we get ourselves into, the constant being added on at the end should be 78. That automatically throws out answer choice D.

But to narrow it down between the rest of them, you want to use the general form for the recursive formula and substitute (n + 1) for every instance of n. This will let you find tₙ₊₁ to match the requirements of your answer choices. So

tₙ₊₁ = t₍ₙ₊₁₎₋₁ + d ... Simplify the subscript

tₙ₊₁ = tₙ + d

Therefore, your formula for tₙ₊₁ = tₙ + 78, which is answer choice C.

3y - 5z = -23
leonid [27]
Starting off, we can multiply the third equation by 2 and add it to the third to get rid of both the x and y variables. Next, we get z=1. Plugging that into 3y-5z=-23, we get 3y-5=-23. Adding 5 to both sides, we get 3y=-18. After that, we can divide both sides by 3 to get y=-6. Plugging that into -2x-y-z=-3, we get -2x+6-1=-3=-2x+5. Subtracting 5x from both sides, we get -2x=-8. After that, we can divide both sides by -2 to get x=4.

Which statement best describes the association between variable X and variable Y? Question 1 options: perfect negative associati
polet [3.4K]
The statement which best describes the association between the variables X and Y is the <em>moderate positive association</em>. It is observable that the values of X and Y are increasing, however, not in a perfect manner as there are some minor deviations. But nonetheless, the direction is clear and the values are close to each other so they have a moderate positive association.
