Jar A contains four liters of a solution that is 45% acid. Jar B contains five liters of a solution that is 48% acid. Jar C cont

ains one liter of a solution that is k % acid. From jar C, 2/3 liters of the solution is added to jar A, and the remainder of the solution in jar C is added to jar B. At the end both jar A and jar B contain solutions that are 50% acid. Find k.

Answer:

k= 80%

Step-by-step explanation:

Jar A contains 4*0.45 L acid, and 4 L of a solution of acid.

Jar B contains 5*0.48 L acid., and 5 L of a solution of acid.

Jar C contains 1*k/100 = k/100 acid, and 1 L of a solution.

50% = 0.5

For jar A.

(2/3)*k/100 L acid is added to jar A.

Now jar A contains 4*0.45 L + (2/3)*k/100 L acid, and it has (4+2/3)L of a solution.

L solute/L solution = 0.5

[4*0.45 L + (2/3)*k/100 L]/(4+2/3)L = 0.5

[1.8 + (2k/300)]/[(12+2)/3] = 0.5

[1.8 + (2k/300)]/[14/3] = 0.5

[1.8 + (2k/300)]= 0.5*(14/3)

(2k/300) = 0.5*(14/3) - 1.8

2k = (0.5*(14/3) - 1.8)*300

k = (0.5*(14/3) - 1.8)*300/2 =80

k= 80%

We also can find k using jar B.

(1/3)k/100 L acid is added to jar B.

Now jar B contains 5*0.48 L+ (1/3)k/100 L acid, and it has (5+1/3) L of a solution.

L solute/L solution = 0.5

[5*0.48 L+ (1/3)k/100 L ]/(5+1/3)L= 0.5

[5*0.48 + (1/3)k/100 ]/(5+1/3)= 0.5

This equation also gives k=80%

Check.

We can check at least for jar A.

Jar A has 4L solution and 4*0.45=1.8 L acid.

2/3 L of the solution from jar C was added, and now we have 4 2/3 L of solution.

(2/3)* 80%= (2/3)*0.8 acid was added from jar C.

Now we have [1.8 +(2/3)*0.8] L acid in jar A.

L solute/L solution = [1.8 +(2/3)*0.8] L /(4 2/3) L = 0.5 or 50% as it is given that jar A has 50% at the end.

Evaluate. 58−(14)2=58-142= ________

nasty-shy [4]

For this case we have the following expression:

$58- (14) ^ 2$

The first step is to solve the quadratic term.

We have then:

$58- (14) ^ 2 = 58-196$

Then, the second step is to subtract both resulting numbers:

$58- (14) ^ 2 = -138$

We observe that the result obtained is a negative number.

Answer:

The result of the expression is given by:

$58- (14) ^ 2 = -138$

Determine the area (in units2) of the region between the two curves by integrating over the x-axis. y = x2 − 24 and y = 1

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

The area of the region between the two curves by integration over the x-axis is 9.9 square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

This case represents a definite integral, in which lower and upper limits are needed, which corresponds to the points where both intersect each other. That is:

$x^{2} - 24 = 1$

Given that resulting expression is a second order polynomial of the form $x^{2} - a^{2}$ , there are two real and distinct solutions. Roots of the expression are:

$x_{1} = -5$ and $x_{2} = 5$ .

Now, it is also required to determine which part of the interval $(x_{1}, x_{2})$ is equal to a number greater than zero (positive). That is:

$x^{2} - 24 > 0$

$x^{2} > 24$

$x < -4.899$ and $x > 4.899$ .

Therefore, exists two sub-intervals: $[-5, -4.899]$ and $\left[4.899,5\right]$ . Besides, $x^{2} - 24 > y = 1$ in each sub-interval. The definite integral of the region between the two curves over the x-axis is:

$A = \int\limits^{-4.899}_{-5} [{1 - (x^{2}-24)]} \, dx + \int\limits^{4.899}_{-4.899} \, dx + \int\limits^{5}_{4.899} [{1 - (x^{2}-24)]} \, dx$

$A = \int\limits^{-4.899}_{-5} {25-x^{2}} \, dx + \int\limits^{4.899}_{-4.899} \, dx + \int\limits^{5}_{4.899} {25-x^{2}} \, dx$

$A = 25\cdot x \right \left|\limits_{-5}^{-4.899} -\frac{1}{3}\cdot x^{3}\left|\limits_{-5}^{-4.899} + x\left|\limits_{-4.899}^{4.899} + 25\cdot x \right \left|\limits_{4.899}^{5} -\frac{1}{3}\cdot x^{3}\left|\limits_{4.899}^{5}$

$A = 2.525 -2.474+9.798 + 2.525 - 2.474$

$A = 9.9\,units^{2}$

The area of the region between the two curves by integration over the x-axis is 9.9 square units.

Patient A receives 3 times the amount of a certain medication as Patient B. The two doses add to 200 milligrams. What amount of

EastWind [94]

Answer:

Patient A - 150 mg

Patient B - 50 mg

Step-by-step explanation:

Since patient A gets three times more, 50 times 3 is 150. 150 plus 50 is 200, therefore, patient A gets 150 mg and patient B gets 50 mg. I hope this helps :)

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

90 beats per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

By looking at the graph, we see that exactly at second 6, the 9th beat occurs. We can take that to beats/min by multiplying that relation by 10 (since there are ten 6sec in one minute).

9beats every 6sec * 10 = 90beats/min
