Fertiliser is sold in 100kg bags labelled with the amount of nitrogen (N), phosphoric acid (P2O5), and potash (K2O) present. The

mixture of these nutrients varies from one type of fertiliser to the next. 1 bag of Vigoro Ultra Turf fertiliser contains 29kg of nitrogen, 3kg of phosphoric acid, and 4kg of potash. 1 bag of Parkers Premium Starter fertiliser contains 18kg of nitrogen, 25kg of phosphoric acid, and 6kg of potash. How many bags of Vigoro Ultra Turf and Parkers Premium Starter would you require in order to make a fertiliser mixture containing 217kg of nitrogen, 115kg of phosphoric acid, and 44kg of potash

Answer:

We need 5 bags of Vigoro Ultra Turf and 4 bags of Parkers Premium fertilizer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first list the percentage compositions of each fertilizer type:

<u>Vigoro Ultra Turf:</u>

Nitrogen (N) = 29 kg

Phosphoric Acid (P2O5) = 3 kg

Potash (K2O) = 4 kg

<u>Parkers Premium</u>

Nitrogen (N) = 18 kg

Phosphoric Acid (P2O5) = 25 kg

Potash (K2O) = 6 kg

We can set up simultaneous equations to find out the amount of 100 kg bags of each fertilizer needed:

x = Vigoro Ultra turf (one bag)

y = Parkers Premium (one bag)

29x + 18y = 217   -Equation 1

3x + 25y = 115     -Equation 2

4x + 6y = 44        -Equation 3

Solving for x and y, we get:

x = 5

y = 4

This means we need 5 bags of Vigoro Ultra Turf and 4 bags of Parkers Premium fertilizer.

A computer sells for $ 900 $900dollar sign, 900 and loses 30 % 30%30, percent of its value per year. Write a function that gives
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

The value of the computer is given by 900(0.7)^{t}.

Step-by-step explanation:

A computer sells for $900.

If the price of the computer loses 30% of its value per year, then it is compounded every year.

Now, the price of the computer t years after it is sold will be  

900(1 - \frac{30}{100})^{t}  = 900(0.7)^{t} ........... (1)

Therefore, the value of the computer is given by the above equation (1). (Answer)

A pond forms as water collects in a conical depression of radius a and depth h. Suppose that water flows in at a constant rate k
Scrat [10]

Answer:

a. dV/dt = K - ∝π(3a/πh)^⅔V^⅔

b. V = (hk^3/2)/[(∝^3/2.π^½.(3a))]

The small deviations from the equilibrium gives approximately the same solution, so the equilibrium is stable.

c. πa² ≥ k/∝

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

The rate of volume of water in the pond is calculated by

The rate of water entering - The rate of water leaving the pond.

Given

k = Rate of Water flows in

The surface of the pond and that's where evaporation occurs.

The area of a circle is πr² with ∝ as the coefficient of evaporation.

Rate of volume of water in pond with time = k - ∝πr²

dV/dt = k - ∝πr² ----- equation 1

The volume of the conical pond is calculated by πr²L/3

Where L = height of the cone

L = hr/a where h is the height of water in the pond

So, V = πr²(hr/a)/3

V = πr³h/3a ------ Make r the subject of formula

3aV = πr³h

r³ = 3aV/πh

r = ∛(3aV/πh)

Substitute ∛(3aV/πh) for r in equation 1

dV/dt = k - ∝π(∛(3aV/πh))²

dV/dt = k - ∝π((3aV/πh)^⅓)²

dV/dt = K - ∝π(3aV/πh)^⅔

dV/dt = K - ∝π(3a/πh)^⅔V^⅔

b. Equilibrium depth of water

The equilibrium depth of water is when the differential equation is 0

i.e. dV/dt = K - ∝π(3a/πh)^⅔V^⅔ = 0

k - ∝π(3a/πh)^⅔V^⅔ = 0

∝π(3a/πh)^⅔V^⅔ = k ------ make V the subject of formula

V^⅔ = k/∝π(3a/πh)^⅔ -------- find the 3/2th root of both sides

V^(⅔ * 3/2) = k^3/2 / [∝π(3a/πh)^⅔]^3/2

V = (k^3/2)/[(∝π.π^-⅔(3a/h)^⅔)]^3/2

V = (k^3/2)/[(∝π^⅓(3a/h)^⅔)]^3/2

V = (k^3/2)/[(∝^3/2.π^½.(3a/h))]

V = (hk^3/2)/[(∝^3/2.π^½.(3a))]

The small deviations from the equilibrium gives approximately the same solution, so the equilibrium is stable.

c. Condition that must be satisfied

If we continue adding water to the pond after the rate of water flow becomes 0, the pond will overflow.

i.e. dV/dt = k - ∝πr² but r = a and the rate is now ≤ 0.

So, we have

k - ∝πa² ≤ 0 ---- subtract k from both w

- ∝πa² ≤ -k divide both sides by - ∝

πa² ≥ k/∝

If DE=4x+10, EF =2x-1, and DF=9x-15, find DF
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

If DE = 4x+10,EF =2X -1, and DF= 9x - 15 find DF

(de + ef ) - df = 2e || 2e/2 = e || ed - e = d || ef - e = f || f + d =  df

de + ef = 6x + 11 || (6x +11) - df = -3x -6 || 2e/2 = -3x/2 - 3  || (-3x/2 - 3) - de = x/2 + 7||  (- 3x/2 - 3) - ef = -x/2 - 1|| d + f = 6
