Textbook Question

Chapter 3.5, Problem 6E

Mixing Feed A milling company wants to mix alfalfa which contain 20% protein, and wheat m i d s , 38 which contains 15% protein, to make cattle feed.

a. If you make a mixture of 30 pounds of alfalfa and 40 pounds of wheat mids, how many pounds of protein are in the mixture (Hint: In the 30 pounds of alfalfa, there are 30 × 0.2 = 6 pounds of protein.)

b. Write a formula that gives the amount of protein in a mixture of a pounds of alfalfa and w pounds of wheat mids.

c. Suppose the milling company wants to make 1000 pounds of cattle feed that contains 17% protein. How many pounds of alfalfa and how many pounds of wheat mids must be used?

4. Write a system of linear equations in slope-intercept form that has no solution, such that (3, 4), and (3,8) are solutions to the first equation, and (0, 4) is a solution to the second equation. Also write your system of equations with both equations written in standard form with out any fractions B 0 5 4 3 -2 + -8-7-6-5-4-3-2 -1 |- 1 2 3 -1 2 -3 4 -5 6 -7

Show how you can solve the system of equations by manipulating the algebra tiles while maintaining the balances. On this side of the page, use the addition (elimination) method. Keep track of what you did at each step by writing down the corresponding equivalent equations, as well as what you did to go from one equation to the next. 1. x + 2y = 5 x-2y=1 2. 2x+y=2 x-2y= 6

e) x24 1) Which of these are equivalent to x³? For each expression that is equivalent to x², prove it by using the definition of exponents. For each that is not equivalent to x³, give an example using a specific value for x that shows that it represents a different number. a) (x5) d) f) 10-2 b) (x²) *|*
