Answer: To achieve a 5% bleach solution, he needs to add 8 gallons of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' represent the gallons of water he is meant to add.

We know that

The total current volume is 8 gallons

Containing a 10% bleach solution, which is i.e. \frac{10}{100}\times 8=0.8\ gallon

The goal is to dilute it to a 5% bleach solution by incorporating additional water.

Consequently, the equation can be defined as,

\frac{Bleach}{Total}=\frac{0.8}{8+x}=\frac{5}{100}\\\\\frac{0.8}{8+x}=\frac{1}{20}\\\\20\times 0.8=8+x\\\\16=8+x\\\\x=16-8\\\\x=8\ gallons

Therefore, he should add 8 gallons of water to create a 5% bleach solution.

Which statement is true about the discontinuities of the function f(x)? F (x) = StartFraction x minus 5 Over 3 x squared minus 1
AnnZ [3900]

Question:

Which statement is accurate concerning the function’s discontinuities f(x) = \frac{x-5}{3x^2-17x-28}

A) There are gaps at x = 7 and.

B) Asymptotes exist at x = 7 and.

C) Asymptotes exist at x = –7 and.

D) Gaps are present at (–7, 0) and.

Answer:

B) Asymptotes exist at x = 7 and (x = \frac{-4}{3})

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

f(x) = \frac{x-5}{3x^2-17x-28}

Goal:

Identify the correct statement

f(x) = \frac{x-5}{3x^2-17x-28}

We need to factor the denominator first.

f(x) = \frac{x-5}{(3x+4)(x-7)}

To express x in terms of (3x+4) and (x-7):

3x + 4 =

3x = -4

Divide both sides by 3:

x = \frac{-4}{3}

x - 7

x = 7

Next, evaluate the limit when (x = \frac{-4}{3}) and at (x = 7)

lim f(x) as (x = \frac{-4}{3}) = ±∞

lim f(x) as (x=7) = ±∞

Since both scenarios result in the denominator approaching zero, they represent asymptotes.

Thus, asymptotes are found at (x = \frac{-4}{3}) and x=7

Option B is determined to be correct

The graph of f(x) = x2 is translated to form g(x) = (x – 5)2 + 1. Which graph represents g(x)?
Leona [4187]
<span>The graph will shift 5 units to the right and 1 unit upwards, forming a parabola that opens up with its vertex positioned at (5, 1).

Explanation:
The subtraction of 5 from x prior to squaring indicates a horizontal movement of 5 units to the right.

The addition of 1 signifies a vertical shift of 1 unit up.

This transformation follows the vertex form of a parabola, y=a(x-h)^2 + k, where (h, k) represents the vertex. In this case, h is 5 and k is 1, placing the vertex at (5, 1).</span>

tester [3938]

Answer and explanation:

Algebra revolves around the fundamental idea of using letters known as variables to represent quantities, which allows for solving for unknown values. Essentially, algebra involves transitioning from what is known to what is unknown to ascertain those unknown results. For instance, if we know a specific item was purchased twice but we're unsure of its price, we can denote this unknown price as 2a or 2p, depending on the selected variable. If the total spending for those items is, say, $50, we can set up the equation 2a = $50, which leads us to find that the cost per item is $25.

Algebra can also manifest itself in expressions, commonly referred to as algebraic expressions, which can be incorporated into equations, such as the previously mentioned 2a = $50. These expressions may take forms like 2a + 3b, where a and b designate the costs of different products that were acquired in quantities of 2 and 3, respectively.
