Using a system of equations, the amount of solution a and b required to make the required gallons of the solution are 29.41 and 20.59 respectively.

Let :

  • Solution with 24% acid = a
  • Solution with 41% acid = b

a + b = 50 - - - - (1)

0.24a + 0.41b = 50 × 0.31

0.24a + 0.41b = 15.5 - - - - (2)

From (1) :

a = 50 - b - - - - (3)

<em>Substituting</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em>3</em><em>)</em><em> </em><em>into</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em>2</em><em>)</em>

0.24(50 - b) + 0.41b = 15.5

12 - 0.24b + 0.41b = 15.5

0.17b = 15.5 - 12

0.17b = 3.5

b = 20.588

From (3) :

a = 50 - 20.588

a = 29.412

Therefore, about 29.41 gallons of solution a and 20.59 gallons of solution b is required.

Describe the steps to dividing imaginary numbers and complex numbers with two terms in the denominator?
zlopas [31]

Answer:

Let be a rational complex number of the form z = \frac{a + i\,b}{c + i\,d}, we proceed to show the procedure of resolution by algebraic means:

1) \frac{a + i\,b}{c + i\,d}   Given.

2) \frac{a + i\,b}{c + i\,d} \cdot 1 Modulative property.

3) \left(\frac{a+i\,b}{c + i\,d} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{c-i\,d}{c-i\,d} \right)   Existence of additive inverse/Definition of division.

4) \frac{(a+i\,b)\cdot (c - i\,d)}{(c+i\,d)\cdot (c - i\,d)}   \frac{x}{y}\cdot \frac{w}{z} = \frac{x\cdot w}{y\cdot z}  

5) \frac{a\cdot (c-i\,d) + (i\,b)\cdot (c-i\,d)}{c\cdot (c-i\,d)+(i\,d)\cdot (c-i\,d)}  Distributive and commutative properties.

6) \frac{a\cdot c + a\cdot (-i\,d) + (i\,b)\cdot c +(i\,b) \cdot (-i\,d)}{c^{2}-c\cdot (i\,d)+(i\,d)\cdot c+(i\,d)\cdot (-i\,d)} Distributive property.

7) \frac{a\cdot c +i\,(-a\cdot d) + i\,(b\cdot c) +(-i^{2})\cdot (b\cdot d)}{c^{2}+i\,(c\cdot d)+[-i\,(c\cdot d)] +(-i^{2})\cdot d^{2}} Definition of power/Associative and commutative properties/x\cdot (-y) = -x\cdot y/Definition of subtraction.

8) \frac{(a\cdot c + b\cdot d) +i\cdot (b\cdot c -a\cdot d)}{c^{2}+d^{2}} Definition of imaginary number/x\cdot (-y) = -x\cdot y/Definition of subtraction/Distributive, commutative, modulative and associative properties/Existence of additive inverse/Result.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be a rational complex number of the form z = \frac{a + i\,b}{c + i\,d}, we proceed to show the procedure of resolution by algebraic means:

1) \frac{a + i\,b}{c + i\,d}   Given.

2) \frac{a + i\,b}{c + i\,d} \cdot 1 Modulative property.

3) \left(\frac{a+i\,b}{c + i\,d} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{c-i\,d}{c-i\,d} \right)   Existence of additive inverse/Definition of division.

4) \frac{(a+i\,b)\cdot (c - i\,d)}{(c+i\,d)\cdot (c - i\,d)}   \frac{x}{y}\cdot \frac{w}{z} = \frac{x\cdot w}{y\cdot z}  

5) \frac{a\cdot (c-i\,d) + (i\,b)\cdot (c-i\,d)}{c\cdot (c-i\,d)+(i\,d)\cdot (c-i\,d)}  Distributive and commutative properties.

6) \frac{a\cdot c + a\cdot (-i\,d) + (i\,b)\cdot c +(i\,b) \cdot (-i\,d)}{c^{2}-c\cdot (i\,d)+(i\,d)\cdot c+(i\,d)\cdot (-i\,d)} Distributive property.

7) \frac{a\cdot c +i\,(-a\cdot d) + i\,(b\cdot c) +(-i^{2})\cdot (b\cdot d)}{c^{2}+i\,(c\cdot d)+[-i\,(c\cdot d)] +(-i^{2})\cdot d^{2}} Definition of power/Associative and commutative properties/x\cdot (-y) = -x\cdot y/Definition of subtraction.

Determine whether the data described in the tables is best modeled by a linear function or an exponential function.
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

Electric car = Exponential function (decreasing cost)

Gasoline car = Exponential function (increasing cost)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data the Electric car, we have;

Time (years)   {}     Cost (thousands of dollars)

0                           {}      35

5                           {}      27

10                           {}     21

15                           {}     16

20                           {}    12.5

The difference between successive term is such that each term decreases by approximately the same percentage given as follows

1st and 2nd term (35 - 27)/35 × 100 ≈ 22.8571% decrease

2nd and 3rd term (27 - 21)/27 × 100 ≈ 22.222% decrease

3rd and 4th term (21 - 16)/21 × 100 ≈ 23.81% decrease

4th and 5th term (16 - 12.5)/16 × 100 ≈ 21.875% decrease

Therefore. the electric car is best approximated by exponential function

The given data the Gasoline car, we have;

Time (years)   {}     Cost (thousands of dollars)

0                           {}      35

5                           {}      40.2

10                           {}    46.3

15                           {}    53.2

20                           {}    61.2

The difference between successive term is such that each term increases by approximately the same percentage given as follows

1st and 2nd term (40.2 - 35)/35 × 100 ≈ 14.857% decrease

2nd and 3rd term (46.3 - 40.2)/40.2 × 100 ≈ 15.174% decrease

3rd and 4th term (53.2 - 46.3)/46.3× 100 ≈ 14.9% decrease

4th and 5th term (61.2 - 53.2)/53.2× 100 ≈ 15.03% decrease

Therefore. the Gasoline car is best approximated by exponential function
