Explanation:

<u>Linear trend</u>

A linear trend is one that is best approximated by a straight line. Sometimes we use a straight-line approximation, even when it may not be a very good fit, because we are only interested in the sign of the slope, or its approximate magnitude. The parameters of a linear trend are about the easiest to calculate (though it doesn't matter much if an appropriate tool is used).

__

<u>Non-linear trend</u>

A non-linear trend is one that is best approximated by a curve other than a straight line. Trig functions (sine, cosine), exponential functions, quadratic functions are often used. Non-linear trends are not restricted to these kinds of functions.

You need a 45% alcohol solution. On hand, you have a 175 mL of a 25% alcohol mixture. You also have 70% alcohol mixture. How muc
Bezzdna [24]

175 mL at 25% concentration of alcohol contains 0.25 (175 mL) = 43.75 mL of alcohol. If <em>v</em> is the amount of the 70% solution that you use, then that amount contains 0.7<em>v</em> mL of alcohol.

Mixing these two yields a total volume of 175 mL + <em>v</em>, and it contains 43.75 mL + 0.7<em>v</em> alcohol. You want to end up with a concentration of 45%, which means the ratio of the amount of alcohol to the total volume needs to be 0.45:

(43.75 mL + 0.7<em>v</em>) / (175 mL + <em>v</em>) = 0.45

Solve for <em>v</em> :

43.75 mL + 0.7<em>v</em> = 0.45 (175 mL + <em>v</em>)

43.75 mL + 0.7<em>v</em> = 78.75 mL + 0.45<em>v</em>

0.25<em>v</em> = 35 mL

<em>v</em> = 140 mL

viktelen [127]

Answer:

The percent is 26%

julsineya [31]

3r-6=-21

3r-6+6=-21+6 (Add 6 to both sides...)

3r=-15

r=-5


3r-6=21

3r-6+6=21+6 (Add 6 to both sides...)

3r=27

r=9



r=-5 or r=9
