Answer: 3 1/3 liter

Brainliest? <3

let x equal the number of liters of 15% weedkiller.

your equation is .15 * x + .10 * 5 = .12 * (x + 5)

simplify to get .15 * x + .10 * 5 = .12 * x + .12 * 5

simplify further to get .15 * x + .5 = .12 * x + .6

subtract .12 * x from both sides and subtract .5 from both sides and simplify to get .03 * x = .1

divide both sides by .03 to get x = .1 / .03 = 3.333333333 rounded to 9 decimal digits.

you would need 3.333333333 liters of 15% solution to be added to 5 liters of 10% solution to get 8.333333333 liters of 12% solution.

.15 * 3.333333333 = .5

.10 * 5 = .5

.5 + .5 = 1

5 + 3.333333333 = 8.333333333

1 divided by 8.333333333 = .12 which is equal to 12%.

a. Parameterize $C$ by

$\vec r(t)=(1-t)(5\,\vec\imath)+t(2\,\vec\jmath)=(5-5t)\,\vec\imath+2t\,\vec\jmath$

with $0\le t\le1$ .

b/c. The line integral of $\vec F(x,y)=-y\,\vec\imath+x\,\vec\jmath$ over $C$ is

$\displaystyle\int_C\vec F(x,y)\cdot\mathrm d\vec r=\int_0^1\vec F(x(t),y(t))\cdot\frac{\mathrm d\vec r(t)}{\mathrm dt}\,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^1(-2t\,\vec\imath+(5-5t)\,\vec\jmath)\cdot(-5\,\vec\imath+2\,\vec\jmath)\,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^1(10t+(10-10t))\,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle10\int_0^1\mathrm dt=\boxed{10}$

d. Notice that we can write the line integral as

$\displaystyle\int_C\vecF\cdot\mathrm d\vec r=\int_C(-y\,\mathrm dx+x\,\mathrm dy)$

By Green's theorem, the line integral is equivalent to

$\displaystyle\iint_D\left(\frac{\partial x}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial(-y)}{\partial y}\right)\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy=2\iint_D\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy$

where $D$ is the triangle bounded by $C$ , and this integral is simply twice the area of $D$ . $D$ is a right triangle with legs 2 and 5, so its area is 5 and the integral's value is 10.
