Answer:

The number of liters of 25% acid solution = x = 160 liters

The number of liters of 40% acid solution = y = 80 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent:

The number of liters of 25% acid solution = x

The number of liters of 40% acid solution = y

Our system of Equations =

x + y = 240 liters....... Equation 1

x = 240 - y

A 25% acid solution must be added to a 40% solution to get 240 liters of 30% acid solution.

25% × x + 40% × y = 240 liters × 30%

0.25x+ 0.4y = 72...... Equation 2

We substitute 240 - y for x in Equation 2

0.25(240 - y)+ 0.4y = 72

60 - 0.25y + 0.4y = 72

Collect like terms

- 0.25y + 0.4y = 72 - 60

0.15y = 12

y = 12/0.15

y = 80 Liters

Solving for x

x = 240 - y

x = 240 liters - 80 Liters

x = 160 liters

Therefore,

The number of liters of 25% acid solution = x = 160 liters

The number of liters of 40% acid solution = y = 80 liters

Lerok [7]

Convert all the numbers to real numbers:

6√3 = 10.3923

(3.5)^2 = 12.25

√75 = 8.660

9.8 = 9.8

57/5 = 11.4

A)  Now order from largest to smallest:

(3.5)^2, 57/5, 6√3, 9.8, √75

B) We found the order by solving the equations to get real numbers.

C)

Since the numbers are multiplied by a negative number, the greatest number would be the smallest number because it would be closer to zero.

The order would be the reverse of part A:

x√75, 9.8x,  6x√3, 57x/5, x(3.5)^2

D) I replaced x with -1 and calculated for real numbers. All the values were the same as A except they were the negative value.

Which of the following describes the function shown in the table below? x y -4 16 -1 2 2 0.25 4 0.0625 5 0.03125 exponential, th
wolverine [178]

A statement which best describes the function shown in the table is: B. exponential, there is a continual rate of decay or decrease.

<h3>What is an exponential function?</h3>

An exponential function is a mathematical function whose numerical values (numerals) are generated by a constant that is raised to the power of an argument.

<u>Given the following table:</u>

X : -4        -1        2            4              5

Y :  16        2       0.25   0.0625    0.03125

Next, we would calculate the rate of decay for the y-values:

16/2 = 2/0.25 = 0.25/0.0625 = 0.0625/0.03125 = 8

<u>Rule:</u> The y-values constantly decreases by 1/4 or 0.25 of the previous number.

In conclusion, we can logically deduce that the function shown in the table is exponential, there is a continual rate of decay or decrease.

Why is the product of a rational number and an irrational number Irrational?
Llana [10]

Answer:

Because the product is always non-termination,non-repeating decimal.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have a is irrational;  b is rational such that b \neq 0 , then a \cdot b is irrational.

A way to represent this is:

a\in\mathbb{R}\setminus\mathbb{Q}, b\in\mathbb{Q},ab\in\mathbb{Q}\implies a\in\mathbb{Q}\implies\text{Contradiction}\therefore ab\not\in\mathbb{Q}.

Note that we have a contradiction, because a is not a rational number, as I stated in the beginning. Therefore, ab is irrational.

Malcolm has been watching a roulette-style game at a local charity bazaar. The game has only ten numbers on the wheel, and every
Mariana [72]

Answer:

Malcolm is showing evidence of gambler's fallacy.

This is the tendency to think previous results can affect future performance of an event that is fundamentally random.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since each round of the roulette-style game is independent of each other. The probability that 8 will come up at any time remains the same, equal to the probability of each number from 1 to 10 coming up. That it has not come up in the last 15 minutes does not increase or decrease the probability that it would come up afterwards.
