Answer: 8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

In a 30-60-90 triangle, the ratio of the short side to the long side is 1/sqrt(3).

Therefore the short side is the long side divided by sqrt(3).

So the short side = 8 sqrt(3)/sqrt(3) = 8 inches

Theresa Morgan, a chemist, has a 30% hydrochloric acid solution and a 50% hydrochloric acid solution. How many liters of each sh

Bogdan [553]

Let x represent the number of liters of 50% acid Theresa puts into the mix. The the number of liters of 30% acid will be (420-x). The total amount of acid in the final solution will be ...
0.50x + 0.30(420-x) = 0.45(420)
0.20x + 126 = 189 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
0.20x = 63 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 126
x = 63/0.20 = 315 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . liters of 50% solution
(420-x) = 420-315 = 105 . . . . . . . . . liters of 30% solution

Theresa should mix ...
105 liters of 30% solution
315 liters of 50% solution

Find the derivative of f(x) = 11x2 + 5x at x = 9.

Yakvenalex [24]

F(x) = 11x² + 5x

f'(x) = 22x + 5

Hence,

f'(9) = (22 * 9) + 5 = 198 + 5 = 203
