Based on the information the cost of the product is $40,000.

Given:

Percentage earn=5% or 0.05

Amount earned=$2,000

Let x represent the cost of the product

Hence:

Formulate

.05x = $2000

Divide both sides by .05

x=$2,000/.05

x=$40,000

Inconclusion the cost of the product is $40,000.

Silvio is an air-traffic controller who must calculate the altitude of an incoming plane. He sees the plane at an angle of eleva

Mrac [35]

Since the problem is not telling us the height of Silvio, we are going to assume it is not relevant for our calculations.
Let $h$ the altitude of the incoming plane. We know for our problem that the distance between Silvio and the tower is 3 miles, Also we know that the angle of elevation to the plane is 40°. With this information we can create a triangle as shown in the figure. We need a function that relates the angle of elevation with its opposite and adjacent sides, that function is tangent.
$tan \alpha = \frac{opposite.side}{adjacent.side}$
$tan(40)= \frac{h}{3}$
$h=3tan(40)$
$h=2.5miles$

We can conclude that we should use the trig function tangent to model this situation; also, we can conclude that the equation that describes this situation is $h=3tan(40)$ .

there is a beaker of 3.5% acid solution and a beaker of 6% acid solution in the science lab. Mr. Larson needs 200ml of 4.5% acid

disa [49]

Below are the choices:

A. 80 mL of the 3.5% solution and 120 mL of the 6% solution

B. 120 mL of the 3.5% solution and 80 mL of the 6% solution 

C. 140 mL of the 3.5% solution and 60 mL of the 6% solution 

D. 120 mL of the 3.5% solution and 80 mL of the 6% solution

Let fraction of 3.5% in final solution be p.

p * 3.5 + (1 - p) * 6 = 4.5 

3.5p + 6 - 6p = 4.5 

2.5p = 1.5 

p = 3/5 

3/5 * 200 = 120 

Therefore the answer is B. 120 ml of 3.5% and 80 ml of 6%.
