Let there be x quarts of the 20% salt solution, and (25 - x) quarts of the 80% salt solution.
Then the total amount of salt in the 20% portion would be 0.2x, while that from the 80% portion would be (0.8)(25 - x). This would have to total up to (0.44)(25) in the final solution, so the equation is:
0.2x + 0.8(25 - x) = (0.44)(25)
-0.6x + 20 = 11
x = 15 quarts of the 20% salt solution
25 - x = 10 quarts of the 80% salt solution
To solve, we will need to plug in -5 for x in both instances.
|-5 + 2| / -5 + 2
|-3| / -3
Now, these absolute value bars may be a bit puzzling. What we have to do is take the absolute value of the number inside of the brackets. Meaning, that if the number is negative, we make it positive, and if the number is positive, then it stays positive.
3 / -3
-1
Hope this helps!! :)
Answer:
Option (1) is the correct option.
Step-by-step explanation:
Function 1,
f(x) = 4x² + 8x + 1
= 4(x² + 2x) + 1
= 4(x² + 2x + 1 - 1) + 1
= 4(x² + 2x + 1) - 4 + 1
f(x) = 4(x + 1)² - 3
This graph opens up with the vertex or minimum point at (-1, -3)
So, the minimum value of the function is (-3) at x = -1.
Function (2)
From the given table minimum value of the function is 0 at x = -1 or minimum point as (-1, 0)
Therefore, Function 1 has the least minimum value and its coordinates are (-1, -3)
Option (1) is the correct option.
The lcf of 8 and 56 is 2, the lcf of 12 and 30 is 2, the lcf of 16 and 24 is 2, and the lcf of 9 and 15 is 3.
Ratio 1:2:3 means we have x, 2x and 3x as the three parts
x+2x+3x = 42
6x = 42
6x/6 = 42/6
x = 7
Since x = 7, this means 2x = 2*7 = 14 and 3x = 3*7 = 21
Dividing 42 into the ratio of 1:2:3 means we have 7:14:21 as the answer
If we divide all three parts of 7:14:21 by the GCF 7, we reduce it down to 1:2:3
As a check,
7+14+21 = 21+21 = 42
so it works out
