Bruce wants to make 50 ml of an alcohol solution with a 12% concentration. He has a 10% alcohol solution and a 15% alcohol solut

ion. The equation 0.10x + 0.15(50 – x) = 0.12(50) can be used to find the amount of 10% alcohol solution Bruce should use. How much of the 15% alcohol solution should Bruce use?

Answer:

Bruce wants to make 50 ml of an alcohol solution with a 12% concentration. He has a 10% alcohol solution and a 15% alcohol solution. The equation 0.10x + 0.15(50 – x) = 0.12(50) can be used to find the amount of 10% alcohol solution Bruce should use.


How much of the 10% alcohol solution should Bruce use?



30

mL


How much of the 15% alcohol solution should Bruce use?



20

mL

(50 - x) is the amount of the 15% Alcohol solution to use. If you solve for x first.
<span>0.10x + 0.15(50 – x) = 0.12(50)
0.10x - 0.15x + 7.5 = 6
-0.05x + 7.5 = 6
7.5 - 6 = 0.05x
1.5 = 0.05x
1.5/0.05 = x
30 mL = x

Then the 15% solution: 50 - 30 = 20 mL

As part of a community service project at your high school, you are organizing a fund-raiser at the neighborhood movie theater.
kirill115 [55]
So the questions ask to write an equations that shows how much money will be donated and then solve. So let Y be the amount of money and X will be the number of people attending. So the equation would be y=(10-5.5)X so the answer would be Y=2250. I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more

the table shows the cost of renting an inner tube to use at the wave-a-rama water park. explain how to write an equation to repr
Natalija [7]
The equation would be: C = 5.5T, where C is the Cost and T is the number of tubes.

If you divide all of the outputs by the inputs, you will get 5.5. That means it's a proportional relationship. Just multiply the number of tubes by 5.5 and you will have your cost.

If you apply the changes below to the quadratic parent function, f(x) = x2, what is the equation of the new function? Shift 3 un
Alex17521 [72]
To apply the changes to the equation of a vertical stretch of 4 and a translation of 3 units to the right, as well as the correct answer would be choice B.

The reason for this is when you apply a vertical stretch, because it changes the y-values (which causes it to vertically stretch or appear skinnier when graphed), you would multiply 4 to f(x) which would look like 4x^2.

Then, since you have a reflection over the x-axis, you must multiply a -1 to f(x) to reflect it over the x-axis which would result in -4x^2.

Finally, it also asks to shift the graph right 3 which by moving it right, you change the x values meaning you will perform f(x-3) to achieve this (subtract the value from x when you move right, and add the value to x when you move left).

This therefore results in your answer, the new graph would be
g(x)= -4(x-3)^2 or choice B.

Yi is running for class president. To try to predict how people will vote, she wants to take a poll with a 90% confidence level
slega [8]
90The information that you'd need in determining sample size when the standard deviation is unknown is:

z-value for the given level of confidence ⇒ The level of confidence is 90% and the z-value by convention is 1.645

The margin error (E) = 4%

The proportion of the population that you'd expect to vote for Yi. If this information isn't provided, use 50%. We call this value, p, the probability of success.

The probability of not success is q = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5

STEP 1:
Half the margin error = 0.04 ÷ 2 = 0.02

STEP 2:
Multiply the probability of success by the probability of fail = 0.5 × 0.5 = 0.25

STEP 3: 
Divide z-score by half of E = 1.645 ÷ 0.02 = 82.25
Then square the answer = 82.25² = 6765 rounded to the nearest integer)

STEP 4: 
Multiply the answer from STEP 2 by the answer from STEP 4
0.25 × 6765 = 1691 (rounded to the nearest integer)

Answer: Minimum Sample Size is 1691
