Answer:
Number of gallons of 4% salt solution in the mixture = 20.08
Number of gallons of 30% salt solution in the mixture = 24.92
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
There are two bottles of brine solution:
1 has 4% salt
2 has 30% salt
The chemist mixes some gallons of each bottle to get a 45 gallons solution containing 18.4% salt.
To find the gallons of each solution taken to make the mixture.
Solution:
Let the number of gallons of 4% salt solution mixed be = [tex]x[/tex]
So, number of gallons of 30% salt solution mixed will be = [tex]45-x[/tex]
Amount of salt in [tex]x[/tex] gallons of 4% salt solution will be :
⇒ Percentage concentration x Gallons of solution
⇒ [tex]0.04\times x[/tex]
⇒ [tex]0.04x[/tex]
Amount of salt in [tex](45-x)[/tex] gallons of 30%% salt solution will be :
⇒ Percentage concentration x Gallons of solution
⇒ [tex]0.3\times (45-x)[/tex]
Using distribution
⇒ [tex]13.5-0.3x[/tex]
Total amount of salt in 45 gallons of solution can be given as:
⇒ [tex]0.04x+13.5-0.3x[/tex]
Combining like terms
⇒ [tex]-0.26x+13.5[/tex]
Amount of salt in 45 gallons of 18.4% solution:
⇒ [tex]0.184\times 45[/tex]
⇒ [tex]8.28[/tex]
Thus, we have:
[tex]-0.26x+13.5=8.28[/tex]
Subtracting both sides by 13.5
[tex]-0.26x+13.5-13.5=8.28-13.5[/tex]
[tex]-0.26x=-5.22[/tex]
Dividing both sides by -0.26.
[tex]\frac{-0.26x}{-0.26}=\frac{-5.22}{-0.26}[/tex]
∴ [tex]x=20.08[/tex]
Number of gallons of 4% salt solution in the mixture = 20.08
Number of gallons of 30% salt solution in the mixture = [tex]45-20.08[/tex] = 24.92

The correct answer is option D. 36.
We need to solve the equation:
√(x - 11) = 5
To solve this, follow these steps:
Square both sides to eliminate the square root.
√(x - 11)2 = 52
x - 11 = 25
Isolate x by adding 11 to both sides:
x - 11 + 11 = 25 + 11
x = 36

The Hall family and the Nguyen family each used their sprinklers last summer. The water output rate for the Hall family's sprinkler was 35L per hour. The water output rate for the Nguyen family's sprinkler was 15L per hour. The families used their sprinklers for a combined total of 50 hours, resulting in a total water output of 1050L. How long was each sprinkler used?
Answer:
Nguyen family uses sprinkler for 35 hours while the Hall family uses sprinkler for 15 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let h and n be the number of hours that the Hall and Nguyen family individually use their sprinkler for, respectively. Since they use for a combined total of 50 hours, h + n = 50, or h = 50 - n
Also their total water output is 1050 L, we can have the following equation
35h + 15n = 1050
Substitute h = 50 - n and we have
35(50 - n) + 15n = 1050
1750 - 35n + 15n = 1050
35n - 15n = 1750 - 1050
20n = 700
n = 35 hours
h = 50 - n = 50 - 35 = 15 hours
How many different ways are there to select 24 donuts if there are 7 types of donuts available (and donuts are only distinguished by their type).?
Answer:
593,775 ways
Step-by-step explanation:
24 donuts have to be selected from 7 different varieties of donuts
n = 7
r= 24
Repetition is allowed
C(n+r-1, r) = C(7 + 24 - 1 , 24)
= C(30,24)
Recall that C(n,r) = n! /(n-r)! r!
C(30,24) = 30!/(30 - 24)! 24!
= 30!/(6!24!)
= 593,775 ways
Answer: 346,789 ways
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the formular for permutation to calculate :
P= n!/r!(n-r)!
We need to select 24 apples from 7 types of apples

Answer: The function will be ODD.
Hope this helps! :)
QuezoMartiinez
The function f(x) = -9x³ + 8x is odd.
Option A is the correct answer.
What is a function?A function is a relationship between inputs where each input is related to exactly one output.
Example:
f(x) = 2x + 1
f(1) = 2 + 1 = 3
f(2) = 2 x 2 + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5
The outputs of the functions are 3 and 5
The inputs of the function are 1 and 2.
We have,
A function f(x) is even if f(-x) = f(x).
A function is odd if f(-x) = -f(x).
Using the above definition.
f(x) = -9x³ + 8x
Put x = -x
f(-x) = -9 x (-x³) + 8 x (-x)
f(-x) = 9x³ - 8x
f(-x) = - ( -9x³ + 8x)
f(-x) = -f(x)
This means,
The function is odd.
Thus,
f(x) is odd.

Assume that the mean of a normal distribution of IQ scores is 102 and the standard deviation is 15. You have been told that your test score is 1 standard deviation above the mean. What is your IQ test score?
Answer: your IQ test score is 117
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume that the mean of a normal distribution of IQ scores is 102 and the standard deviation is 15.
If you have been told that your test score is 1 standard deviation above the mean, it means that your score would be
102 + 15 = 117
According to the empirical rule, 68% of data falls within the first standard deviation from the mean. This means that 117 falls within 68% of the scores.

Complete the following statement. The number of iPhones sold today at an Apple store is an example of ________ data.
a. interval,
b. classified as discrete ratio,
c. classified as continuous interval,
d. classified as continuous ratio,
e. classified as discrete
Answer: Option 'e' is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we know that
Discrete data are those data which is countable and it is expressed in exact numerical form.
Continuous data are those data which is lie within the interval and it varies so it does not expressed in exact numerical form.
Here, the number of iphones sold today at an Apple store is countable and it can be expressed in exact numbers.
So, it is considered as discrete.
Hence, Option 'e' is correct.
Final answer:
The number of iPhones sold today at an Apple store represents an example of quantitative discrete data.
Explanation:
The number of iPhones sold today at an Apple store is an example of classified as discrete data. This is because the number of iPhones can only take on specific numerical values and cannot be a fraction or a decimal. In other words, you cannot sell half an iPhone, so the data is quantitative discrete.
Joey spent $.75 on a bus ticket. Then he spent 1/2 of his money on the soccer ball. After that, he spent 1/4 of his money on lunch. With the last of his money, Joey spent $14.95 for soccer tickets. In the end, Joey had 5 cents left. How much money did he start out with?
Joey started his day with $63.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let,
x be the amount Joey started with.
Amount left = 5 cent = $0.05
Amount spent on bus ticket = $0.75
Amount spent on soccer ball = [tex]\frac{1}{2}x[/tex]
Amount spent on lunch = [tex]\frac{1}{4}x[/tex]
Amount spent on soccer tickets = $14.95
According to given statement;
Total amount - bus ticket - soccer ball - lunch - soccer tickets = Amount left
[tex]x-0.75-\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{1}{4}x-14.95=0.05\\\\x-\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{1}{4}x=0.05+0.75+14.95\\\\\frac{4x-2x-x}{4}=15.75\\\\\frac{x}{4}=15.75[/tex]
Multiplying both sides by 4

A 28ft ladder leans against a wall so that the base of the ladder is 5ft away from the base of the wall. How far up the wall does the ladder reach?
Round to the nearest tenth.
Answer:
the top of the ladder is 27.5ft above the ground.
Step-by-step explanation:
The ladder makes an angle, θ with the ground thus forming a right angle triangle with the wall of the house.
The length of the ladder represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.
The ground distance from the base of the wall to the foot of the ladder represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.
Therefore, to determine how high up is the top of the ladder on the wall, x, we would apply Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as
Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²
28² = x² + 5²
784 = x² + 25
x² = 784 - 25 = 759
x = √759 = 27.5ft
Using the Pythagorean theorem, the ladder reaches approximately 27.5 feet up the wall when the base is 5 feet from the wall.
Explanation:The question involves finding the height up a wall that a 28ft ladder reaches when its base is 5ft from the wall. To solve this, we will use the Pythagorean theorem which relates the sides of a right-angled triangle. The ladder, wall, and ground form a right-angled triangle with the ladder as the hypotenuse and the wall and ground as the other two sides.
Let h be the height the ladder reaches up the wall. Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have:
28² = h² + 5²
Solving for h:
28² - 5² = h²
784 - 25 = h²
759 = h²
h ≈ √759
h ≈ 27.5 (to the nearest tenth)
Therefore, the ladder reaches approximately 27.5 feet up the wall.

d. {0}
Answer:
Option C) [tex]{\{0.5,0}\}[/tex] is correct
The solution to the given equation is [tex]{\{0.5,0}\}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given quadratic equation is [tex]-2x^2+x=0[/tex]
To solve the equation by completing the square :
[tex]-2x^2+x=0[/tex]
[tex]-2(x^2-\frac{x}{2})=0[/tex]
[tex]x^2-\frac{x}{2}=0[/tex]
Rewritting the above equation as below :
[tex]x^2-2(x)\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4^2}-\frac{1}{4^2}=0[/tex]
[tex](x-\frac{1}{4})^2-\frac{1}{4^2}=0[/tex]
[tex](x-\frac{1}{4})^2=\frac{1}{4^2}[/tex]
Taking square root on both sides we get
[tex]\sqrt{(x-\frac{1}{4})^2}=\sqrt{\frac{1}{4^2}}[/tex]
[tex](x-\frac{1}{4})=\pm\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
[tex]x=\pm\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
[tex]x=+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}[/tex] and [tex]x=-\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{2}{4}[/tex] and [tex]x=0[/tex]
Therefore [tex]x=\frac{1}{2}[/tex] and x=0
[tex]x=0.5[/tex] and x=0
Therefore the solution to the given equation is [tex]{\{0.5,0}\}[/tex]
Option C) [tex]{\{0.5,0}\}[/tex] is correct

Answer:x = 9.01
Step-by-step explanation:
The given triangle is a right angle triangle.
From the given right angle triangle the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle is 17
With 35 degrees as the reference angle,
x represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.
The unlabelled side represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.
θ = 35 degrees
To determine x, we would apply trigonometric ratio
Cos θ = adjacent side/hypotenuse side. Therefore,
Cos 35 = x/11
x = 11 Cos 35 = 11 × 0.8192
x = 9.01
Answer:
9.01
Step-by-step explanation:
The right angle triangle with a focused angle of degree is easily solved using Trig Ratio that can easily be recalled with this word :
SohCahToa.
What it means is:
If the Opposite side to the focused angle is given and also the hypotenuse is given, we use sine
Cosine if Adjacent and Hypotenuse is given.
Tangent if the opposite and Adjacent is given.
Now, to the question:
The Adjacent and the Hypotenuse is given. Therefore we'll use Cosine.
Therefore:
Cos 35 = x / 11
Cross multiplying:
11 cos 35 = x
11 * 0.8192 = x
Theresfore,
x = 9.01

a. Show that the following statement forms are all logically equivalent. p → q ∨ r, p ∧ ∼q → r, and p ∧ ∼r → q b. Use the logical equivalences established in part (a) to rewrite the following sentence in two different ways. (Assume that n represents a fixed integer.) If n is prime, then n is odd or n is 2.
Final answer:
The statement forms p → q ∨ r, p ∧ ¬q → r, and p ∧ ¬r → q are shown to be logically equivalent using principles of logical equivalence and contraposition. The original statement 'If n is prime, then n is odd or n is 2' can thus be rephrased in different ways while retaining the same meaning.
Explanation:
Logical Equivalences
To show that the statement forms p → q ∨ r, p ∧ ¬q → r, and p ∧ ¬r → q are all logically equivalent, we need to understand that logical equivalence means that the statements have the same truth value in every possible scenario. The implication p → q is equivalent to p∨ q, as a truth table would confirm. Likewise, by using the principle of contraposition, which states that p → q is equivalent to ¬q → ¬p, we can transform the given implications accordingly.
Considering the sentence "If n is prime, then n is odd or n is 2" and denoting p as "n is prime", q as "n is odd", and r as "n is 2", the original statement can be represented as p → q ∨ r. Using logical equivalences established earlier, two different ways to rewrite this sentence could be:
The logical equivalences show that all these forms express the same condition from different perspectives but with the same meaning.

Consider triangle GHJ. Triangle G H J is shown. Angle G H J is a right angle. The length of the hypotenuse is 10 and the length of another side is 5. What is the length of line segment HJ? 5 units 5 StartRoot 3 EndRoot units 10 units 10 StartRoot 3 EndRoot units
Length of segment HJ is 5√3 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, apply the Pythagorean relationship where sum of squares of the sides equals the square of the hypotenuse.
Given that the hypotenuse, c= 10 units, and one of the side, a=5 units, then the other side can be calculated as;
a²+b²=c²
5²+b²=10²
b²=10²-5²
b²=100-25
b²=75
b=√75 = √3*25 = √3 *√25 = √3 *5 = 5√3
Length of segment HJ is 5√3 units

Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
If you invested $100 at an interest rate of 5% per year compounded quarterly, how much will the investment be worth at the end of two years? *
50 points
Answer: the investment would be
$110.45
Step-by-step explanation:
Initial amount deposited into the account is $100 This means that the principal is
P = 100
It was compounded quarterly. This means that it was compounded 4 times in a year. So
n = 4
The rate at which the principal was compounded is 5%. So
r = 5/100 = 0.05
It was compounded for 2 years. So
t = 2
The formula for compound interest is
A = P(1+r/n)^nt
A = total amount in the account at the end of t years. Therefore
A = 100 (1+0.05/4)^4×2
A = 100 (1.0125)^8
A = $110.45
