A scientist needs 10 liters of a 20% acid solution for an experiment, but she has only a 5% solution and a 40% solution. To the

nearest tenth of a liter, about how many liters of the 5% and the 40% solutions should she mix to get the solution she needs? Explain

This problem requires mixing 5% and 40% solutions to create 10 liters of 20% concentration. Multiple solutions exist. Assuming all combined volume equals 10L with no waste, let x represent the volume of the 40% solution. Therefore, the 5% solution volume is 10L - x. Applying concentration calculations: 10L × 20% = x × 40% + (10 - x) × 5%. Solving leads to: x = (10L × 15%) / 35% = 4.28L, rounded to 4.3L for the 40% solution. The 5% volume is then 10L - 4.3L = 5.7L.

Explain how you can determine the number of real number solutions of a system of equations in which one equation is linear and t
babunello [3635]

Answer:

To find the number of genuine solutions for a system of equations consisting of a linear equation and a quadratic equation

1) With two variables, say x and y, rearrange the linear equation to express y, then substitute this y in the quadratic equation

After that, simplify the resulting equation and determine the number of real roots utilizing the quadratic formula, x = \dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4\cdot a\cdot c}}{2\cdot a} for equations of the type 0 = a·x² - b·x + c.

When b² exceeds 4·a·c, two real solutions emerge; if b² equals 4·a·c, there will be a single solution.

Find three solutions for the linear equation 4x −3y = 1, and plot the solutions as points on a coordinate plane.
lawyer [4008]

Answer:

(1, 1), (2, 2.333) and (3, 3.666).

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation, we can select various values for x and then compute the corresponding y values.

<pFor instance, when x = 1, we find:

4*1 - 3y = 1

3y = 3

y = 1

When x = 2, we discover:

4*2 - 3y = 1

3y = 7

y = 2.333

Then for x = 3, we have:

4*3 - 3y = 1

3y = 11

y = 3.666

Therefore, the coordinates we will plot are (1, 1), (2, 2.333), and (3, 3.666).

Refer to the attached image for the plot.

A random sample of 16 students selected from the student body of a large university had an average age of 25 years and a standar
PIT_PIT [3919]

Answer:

The P-value ranges between 2.5% and 5% according to the t-table.

Step-by-step explanation:

A random sample of 16 students from a large university showed an average age of 25 years with a standard deviation of 2 years.

Let \mu = true average age of all students at the university.

So, the Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu \leq 24 years {indicating the average age is less than or equal to 24 years}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : \mu > 24 years {indicating the average age is significantly greater than 24 years}

Here we employ the One-sample t-test statistics as the population's standard deviation is unknown;

                              T.S. = \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ t_n_-_1

where, \bar X = sample average age = 25 years

             s = sample standard deviation = 2 years

             n = sample size = 16

This gives us the test statistics = \frac{25-24}{\frac{2}{\sqrt{16} } } ~ t_1_5

                                     = 2

The value of the t-test statistics is 2.

Moreover, the P-value of the test-statistics can be found as follows;

P-value = P(t_1_5 > 2) = 0.034 {as per the t-table}

Thus, the P-value lies between 2.5% and 5% based on the t-table.
