Answer:
387
Step-by-step explanation:
In the equation you have to replace all x's with -1
f (-1) = (-1)^2 - 8(-1) +5
f (-1) = 1 + 8 + 5
f (-1) = 14
the f(-1) stand for the function of -1. it is also equivalent to y
Answer:
-6 degrees F
Step-by-step explanation:
We start with -8F as the temperature. It fell 10 degrees to 2F, then fell 8 degrees to -6F.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
For mixture problems, it is convenient to define a variable to represent the amount of the greatest contributor. Let x represent the amount of 22% solution in the mix. Then 4.8-x is the amount of 10% solution.
The amount of alcohol in the mix is ...
0.22x +0.10(4.8-x) = 0.12(4.8)
Eliminating parentheses, we have ...
0.22x -0.10x +0.10(4.8) = 0.12(4.8)
Subtracting (0.10)(4.8) and combining x-terms gives ...
0.12x = 0.02(4.8)
x = (0.02/0.12)(4.8) = 0.8 . . . . . divide by the x-coefficient
The scientist needs 0.8 L of 22% solution and 4.0 L of 10% solution.
