Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, M is between S and T.

Therefore, SM + MT = ST

9x- 8 + 2x + 3 = 72

11x - 5 = 72

11x = 72 + 5

11x = 77

x = 77/11

x = 7

A pharmacist wishes to mix a solution that is 6% Minoxidil. She has on hand 100 ml of a 2% solution and wishes to add some 8% so

son4ous [18]

Answer:

200 ml

Step-by-step explanation:

It's proportions basically.

frst off, 2% of 100 ml is 2 ml, so the 100 ml solution has 2 ml of Minoxidil.

Eventually we want 6/100 to be the porportion. so the total is going to be 100 (from the initial 100 ml) plus however much is needed x. And we want the amount of Minoxidil to be 2 + 8 percent of x. so this gets us the equation

6/100 = (2 + .08x)/(100+x) Then we solve

(100 + x) 6/100 = 2 + .08x

(100 + x) 6 = 200 + 8x

600 + 6x = 200 + 8x

400 = 2x

x = 200

so they should add 200 ml

You can check too. there is 100 + 200 ml of solution total and 2 + 16 ml of Minoxidil so that's 18/300 = 6/100

Let S be the solid beneath z = 12xy^2 and above z = 0, over the rectangle [0, 1] × [0, 1]. Find the value of m > 1 so that th

jonny [76]

Answer:

The answer is $\sqrt{\frac{6}{5}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the volumen of the solid we solve the next double integral:

$\int\limits^1_0\int\limits^1_0 {12xy^{2} } \, dxdy$

Solving:

$\int\limits^1_0 {12x} \, dx \int\limits^1_0 {y^{2} } \, dy$

$[6x^{2} ]{{1} \atop {0}} \right. * [\frac{y^{3}}{3}]{{1} \atop {0}} \right.$

Replacing the limits:

$6*\frac{1}{3} =2$

The plane y=mx divides this volume in two equal parts. So volume of one part is 1.

Since m > 1, hence mx ≤ y ≤ 1, 0 ≤ x ≤ $\frac{1}{m}$

Solving the double integral with these new limits we have:

$\int\limits^\frac{1}{m} _0\int\limits^{1}_{mx} {12xy^{2} } \, dxdy$

This part is a little bit tricky so let's solve the integral first for dy:

$\int\limits^\frac{1}{m}_0 [{12x \frac{y^{3}}{3}}]{{1} \atop {mx}} \right.\, dx =\int\limits^\frac{1}{m}_0 [{4x y^{3 }]{{1} \atop {mx}} \right.\, dx$

Replacing the limits:

$\int\limits^\frac{1}{m}_0 {4x(1-(mx)^{3} )\, dx =\int\limits^\frac{1}{m}_0 {4x-4x(m^{3} x^{3} )\, dx =\int\limits^\frac{1}{m}_0 ({4x-4m^{3} x^{4}) \, dx$

Solving now for dx:

$[{\frac{4x^{2}}{2} -\frac{4m^{3} x^{5}}{5} ]{{\frac{1}{m} } \atop {0}} \right. = [{2x^{2} -\frac{4m^{3} x^{5}}{5} ]{{\frac{1}{m} } \atop {0}} \right.$

Replacing the limits:

$\frac{2}{m^{2} }-\frac{4m^{3}\frac{1}{m^{5}}}{5} =\frac{2}{m^{2} }-\frac{4\frac{1}{m^{2}}}{5} \\ \frac{2}{m^{2} }-\frac{4}{5m^{2} }=\frac{10m^{2}-4m^{2} }{5m^{4}} \\ \frac{6m^{2} }{5m^{4}} =\frac{6}{5m^{2}}$

As I mentioned before, this volume is equal to 1, hence:

$\frac{6}{5m^{2}}=1\\m^{2} =\frac{6}{5} \\m=\sqrt{\frac{6}{5} }$
