Answer:

  • 3 ounces of 75%
  • 7 ounces of 45%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of ounces of 75% silver needed. Then (10-x) is the number of ounces of 45% silver. The total silver required is ...

  0.75x +0.45(10 -x) = 0.54(10)

  0.30x +4.5 = 5.4

  0.30x = 0.9

  x = 0.9/0.3 = 3 . . . . . ounces of 75% silver

  10-x = 7 . . . . . ounces of 45% silver

Luis needs 7 ounces of 45% silver and 3 ounces of 75% silver.

Choose the equation of a circle with radius 6 and center (2, -3).
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:  (x-2)^2 + (y+3)^2 = 36\\\\

Work Shown:

(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2\\\\(x-2)^2 + (y-(-3))^2 = 6^2\\\\(x-2)^2 + (y+3)^2 = 36\\\\

Note that (h,k) = (2,-3) is the center and r = 6 is the radius. The last line is not expanded out using the FOIL rule because its common practice to leave it in (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2\\\\ form. This form allows the reader to quickly determine the center and radius (rather than have to do a lot of algebraic steps before hand).

Find the equation (in standard form) whose center is (5, -3) and goes through (2, 5).
yanalaym [24]
We can write this as

(x - 5)^2 + (y + 3)^2 = r^2

where r = radius

Plugging in the point (2,5) we have

(2-5)^2 + (5+3)^2 = r^2
r^2 =  9 + 64 = 73
so the required equation is

(x - 5)^2 + (y + 3)^2 = 73

B) 36 kg in the ratio 1:3:5​
ale4655 [162]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  4 kg : 12 kg : 20 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of "ratio units" is 1+3+5 = 9, so each of them represents ...

  (36 kg)/9 = 4 kg

Multiplying the given ratio by 4 kg will show the appropriate division:

  1(4 kg) : 3(4 kg) : 5(4 kg) = 4 kg : 12 kg : 20 kg
