Answer:

John should use:

4 grams of the 30% solution and 16 grams of the 60% solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of grams of the 30% solution = x

Let the number of grams of the 60% solution = y

John needs 20 grams of 54% acid solution for his science project.

Hence,

x + y = 20 grams..... Equation 1

x = 20 - y

His school's science lab has bottles of 30% solution and bottles of 60% solution.

30% × x + 60% × y = 54% × 20

0.3x + 0.6y = 10.8......Equation 2

We substitute 20 - y for x in Equation 2

0.3(20 - y) + 0.6y = 10.8

6 - 0.3y + 0.6y = 10.8

- 0.3y + 0.6y = 10.8 - 6

0.3y = 4.8

y = 4.8/3

y = 16 grams

x = 20 - y

x = 20 - 16

x = 4 grams

Therefore, John should use:

4 grams of the 30% solution and 16 grams of the 60% solution

When the area in square units of an expanding circle is increasing twice as fast as its radius in linear units
alexira [117]

Answer:

r=1/π

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the circle is defined as:

Area = πr²

Derivating both sides

\frac{dA}{dr}=2πr

\frac{dA}{dt}  =  \frac{dA}{dr} x \frac{dr}{dt}  =  2πr\frac{dr}{dt}

If area of an expanding circle is increasing twice as fast as its radius in linear units. then we have : \frac{dA}{dt}  =2\frac{dr}{dt}

Therefore,

2πr \frac{dr}{dt}  =  2  \frac{dr}{dt}

r=1/π
