A water purification plant processes raw water through three successive filtration stages: Stage A, Stage B, and Stage C. Stage A removes $\frac{3}{8}$ of the impurities present in the raw water. Stage B removes $40\%$ of the remaining impurities. Stage C removes $0.75$ of the impurities that remain after Stage B. If $4.5$ kilograms of impurities are successfully removed in Stage C, how many kilograms of impurities were originally in the raw water?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 16

Cevap

The original amount of impurities in the raw water was

16

kilograms.

The correct answer is

16

kg. To find this, we express the remaining impurities at each stage as a fraction of the initial amount

x

. After Stage A,

\frac{5}{8}x

remains. In Stage B,

40\%

is removed, meaning

60\%

of

\frac{5}{8}x

, or

\frac{3}{8}x

, remains. In Stage C,

0.75

(or

\frac{3}{4}

) of this remainder is removed, which is

\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{3}{8}x = \frac{9}{32}x

. Setting

\frac{9}{32}x = 4.5

gives

x = 16

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Represent the initial mass of impurities in the raw water with a variable.

Let

x

be the initial kilograms of impurities.

Establishing a variable allows setting up an equation to track the changes through each stage.

2

Calculate the remaining impurities after Stage A.

Impurities remaining =

x - \frac{3}{8}x = \frac{5}{8}x

kg.

Stage A removes

\frac{3}{8}

of the initial impurities, so

1 - \frac{3}{8} = \frac{5}{8}

of the impurities remain.

3

Calculate the impurities removed and remaining after Stage B.

Impurities removed in Stage B =

0.40 \times \frac{5}{8}x = \frac{1}{4}x

kg. Impurities remaining after Stage B = \frac{5}{8}x - \frac{1}{4}x = \frac{3}{8}x$ kg.

Stage B removes

40\%

of the impurities that remained after Stage A. Subtracting the removed portion from the starting amount for this stage yields the remaining fraction.

4

Express the impurities removed in Stage C.

Impurities removed in Stage C =

0.75 \times \frac{3}{8}x = \frac{9}{32}x

kg.

Stage C removes

0.75

(or

\frac{3}{4}

) of the impurities remaining after Stage B.

5

Equate the Stage C expression to the given value and solve for

x

.

\frac{9}{32}x = 4.5 \implies x = 4.5 \times \frac{32}{9} = 16

kg.

The problem states that

4.5

kg of impurities are removed in Stage C, so solving this equation yields the initial value.

Alternatif Yöntem

Working backwards from the final stage can simplify the calculations. Since Stage C removes

0.75

of the impurities remaining after Stage B, and this amount equals

4.5

kg, the amount remaining after Stage B is

\frac{4.5}{0.75} = 6

kg. Since Stage B removes

40\%

of the impurities remaining after Stage A, the

6

kg represents

100\% - 40\% = 60\%

of the impurities remaining after Stage A. Thus, the amount remaining after Stage A is

\frac{6}{0.60} = 10

kg. Finally, since Stage A removes

\frac{3}{8}

of the original impurities, the

10

kg represents

1 - \frac{3}{8} = \frac{5}{8}

of the original impurities. The original amount is therefore

10 \times \frac{8}{5} = 16

kg.

Two integers, $x$ and $y$ , are positioned on a number line. The distance between $x$ and $1$ is twice the distance between $y$ and $2$ . If the distance between $x$ and $y$ is exactly $5$ units, what is the sum of all possible values of $x + y$ ?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 17

Cevap

The sum of all possible values of

x + y

is

17

.

Representing the distances algebraically yields the system

|x - 1| = 2|y - 2|

and

|x - y| = 5

. Since

x

and

y

must be integers, splitting these equations into positive and negative cases yields exactly three valid integer coordinate pairs:

(13, 8)

,

(5, 0)

, and

(-7, -2)

. The sums (

x + y

) for these pairs are

21

,

5

, and

-9

, respectively. Adding these possible sums together gives a final total of

17

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Set up the absolute value expressions representing the distances.

|x - 1| = 2|y - 2|

and

|x - y| = 5

Distance on a number line between two points

a

and

b

is mathematically defined as

|a - b|

.

2

Split the distance condition

|x - y| = 5

into two coordinate cases.

x = y + 5

or

x = y - 5

An absolute value equation of the form

|A| = B

splits into

A = B

or

A = -B

.

3

Substitute

x = y + 5

into the first equation and solve for integer values of

y

.

y = 8

(which gives

x = 13

) and

y = 0

(which gives

x = 5

)

This generates the first set of valid integer coordinates satisfying all constraints.

4

Substitute

x = y - 5

into the first equation and solve for integer values of

y

.

y = -2

(which gives

x = -7

); the second algebraic option

y = 10/3

is discarded because it is not an integer

This generates the remaining valid integer coordinates satisfying all constraints.

5

Sum the value of

x + y

for all three valid coordinate pairs.

(13 + 8) + (5 + 0) + (-7 - 2) = 21 + 5 - 9 = 17

The question asks for the sum of all possible values of the expression

x + y

.

A school band has between $100$ and $150$ members. When the band members line up in rows of $6$ , there are $2$ members left over. When they line up in rows of $9$ , there are also $2$ members left over. When they line up in rows of $5$ , there are no members left over. How many members are in the school band?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 110

Cevap

There are 110 members in the school band.

The number of members minus 2 must be a multiple of the least common multiple of 6 and 9, which is 18. The possible values between 100 and 150 are 110, 128, and 146. Among these, only 110 is divisible by 5, which satisfies the condition of having no members left over when grouped in rows of 5.

1

Find the least common multiple (LCM) of the row sizes 6 and 9.

The LCM of 6 and 9 is 18.

Since the remainder is the same (2) for both row sizes, the number of members minus 2 must be a common multiple of 6 and 9.

2

Identify candidate numbers between 100 and 150 that are 2 more than a multiple of 18.

The candidate numbers are 110, 128, and 146.

To satisfy the condition of having a remainder of 2 when divided by 6 and 9, the total must be of the form

18k + 2

within the given range

[100, 150]

.

3

Check which candidate is divisible by 5.

110 is divisible by 5.

Since there are no members left over when lined up in rows of 5, the total number of members must be a multiple of 5.

In a school auditorium, $\frac{3}{8}$ of the total seats are in the balcony, and the remaining seats are on the main floor. For the spring play, $80\%$ of the balcony seats were occupied, and $60\%$ of the main floor seats were occupied. If there were exactly 117 empty seats in the auditorium, what was the total number of seats in the auditorium?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 360

Cevap

The total number of seats in the auditorium is 360.

The correct answer of 360 is found by expressing the empty seats from each section as a fraction of the total seats. Since the balcony represents

\frac{3}{8}

of the total seats and is

20\%

empty, the empty balcony seats equal

\frac{3}{40}

of the total seats. The main floor represents

\frac{5}{8}

of the total seats and is

40\%

empty, so the empty main floor seats equal

\frac{10}{40}

of the total seats. Summing these yields

\frac{13}{40}

of the total seats, which equals 117. Solving

\frac{13}{40}S = 117

gives a total of 360 seats.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Define the variable for the total seats and find the fraction of seats in each section.

Let the total number of seats be

S

. The balcony has

\frac{3}{8}S

seats, and the main floor has

1 - \frac{3}{8} = \frac{5}{8}S

seats.

Establishing fractional partitions of the total capacity is necessary to set up the equation.

2

Calculate the fraction of total seats that are empty in the balcony.

Empty balcony seats =

20\%

of

\frac{3}{8}S = 0.20 \times \frac{3}{8}S = \frac{1}{5} \times \frac{3}{8}S = \frac{3}{40}S

.

Since 80% of the balcony seats are occupied, the remaining 20% are empty.

3

Calculate the fraction of total seats that are empty on the main floor.

Empty main floor seats =

40\%

of

\frac{5}{8}S = 0.40 \times \frac{5}{8}S = \frac{2}{5} \times \frac{5}{8}S = \frac{10}{40}S

.

Since 60% of the main floor seats are occupied, the remaining 40% are empty.

4

Sum the empty seat fractions and set the sum equal to the total number of empty seats.

Total empty seats =

\frac{3}{40}S + \frac{10}{40}S = \frac{13}{40}S

. The equation is

\frac{13}{40}S = 117

.

Combining the empty seats from both sections represents the total empty seat count.

5

Solve the equation for the total number of seats

S

.

S = 117 \times \frac{40}{13} = 9 \times 40 = 360

.

Multiplying by the reciprocal of the empty seats fraction isolates the variable for the total seats.

Cevap: -12

Cevap

The coordinate of point

C

is

-12

.

Because point

C

with coordinate

c

lies between

-24

and

6

, the distance from

A

to

C

is

c - (-24) = c + 24

, and the distance from

C

to

B

is

6 - c

. Setting the distance from

A

to

C

to

\frac{2}{3}

of the distance from

C

to

B

gives the equation

c + 24 = \frac{2}{3}(6 - c)

. Multiplying both sides by

3

to clear the fraction results in

3c + 72 = 12 - 2c

. Collecting like terms yields

5c = -60

1

Express the distances between the points on the number line using their coordinates.

The distance from

A

to

C

is

c + 24

, and the distance from

C

to

B

is

6 - c

.

Since point

C

is positioned between points

A

B

, the inequality

-24 < c < 6

holds. This allows the absolute value distance expressions

|c - (-24)|

and

|6 - c|

to simplify directly to positive expressions without absolute value bars.

2

Formulate an equation based on the specified ratio of distances.

c + 24 = \frac{2}{3}(6 - c)

The problem states that the distance from

A

to

C

is

\frac{2}{3}

of the distance from

C

to

B

.

3

Solve the linear equation for the coordinate

c

.

c = -12

Multiplying both sides by

3

gives

3(c + 24) = 2(6 - c)

, which expands to

3c + 72 = 12 - 2c

. Rearranging the terms by adding

2c

to both sides and subtracting

72

from both sides results in

5c = -60

. Dividing by

The correct value is 311. Since the numbers must be multiples of both 6 and 8, they must be multiples of their least common multiple, which is 24. The twelfth multiple of 24 is 288, and the thirteenth multiple is 312. To have exactly 12 such multiples, the maximum number N must be at least 288 but strictly less than 312, meaning the largest integer value is 311.

By rewriting the repeated addition in the numerator as

4 \times 4^{x+2} = 4^{x+3}

and converting all bases to 2, the expression inside the square root simplifies to

2^{15-x}

1

Rewrite the sum in the numerator

4^{x+2} + 4^{x+2} + 4^{x+2} + 4^{x+2}

4 \times 4^{x+2} = 4^{x+3}

Adding a term to itself four times is equivalent to multiplying that term by 4.

2

Convert the base 4 numerator and base 8 denominator to base 2.

Numerator:

(2^2)^{x+3} = 2^{2x+6}

; Denominator:

(2^3)^{x-3} = 2^{3x-9}

Expressing terms with the same base allows the use of exponent laws to simplify the fraction.

3

Simplify the fraction by subtracting the denominator's exponent from the numerator's exponent.

\frac{2^{2x+6}}{2^{3x-9}} = 2^{(2x+6)-(3x-9)} = 2^{15-x}

The quotient rule for exponents states that

\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n}

.

4

Apply the square root to the simplified fraction, set it equal to

64

, and express both sides as powers of 2.

\sqrt{2^{15-x}} = 2^{\frac{15-x}{2}} = 64 = 2^6

The square root of a term is equivalent to raising that term to the power of

\frac{1}{2}

.

5

Equate the exponents and solve for

kWh.

January's reduction is

15\%

of the

400

kWh baseline (

0.15 \times 400 = 60

Calculate February's energy reduction and February's usage level.

February reduction is

42.5

kWh; February usage level is

297.5

February's reduction is

\frac{1}{8}

of January's usage level (

340

kWh), which is

0.125 \times 340 = 42.5

kWh. Subtracting this from January's level gives February's usage level (

On a vertical number line representing elevation in meters, a research drone is at coordinate $d$ and a submarine is at coordinate $s$ . The coordinate of the drone is a positive integer, and the coordinate of the submarine is a negative integer. The distance between the drone and the submarine is $150$ meters. If the absolute value of the submarine's coordinate is $4$ times the coordinate of the drone, what is the coordinate of the drone?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 30

Cevap

The coordinate of the drone is 30.

The correct coordinate of 30 is found by defining the distance between the positive drone coordinate

d

and negative submarine coordinate

s

as

d - s = 150

. Since

s < 0

, its absolute value

|s|

is equal to

-s

. Substituting

-s = 4d

gives

d - (-4d) = 150

, which simplifies to

5d = 150

and yields

d = 30

To determine how many times larger the diameter of the red blood cell is than the diameter of the influenza virus, divide the larger diameter by the smaller diameter:

\frac{7.0 \times 10^{-6}}{1.4 \times 10^{-7}}

. Dividing the coefficients gives

\frac{7.0}{1.4} = 5

. Dividing the powers of ten using the quotient rule for exponents gives

\frac{10^{-6}}{10^{-7}} = 10^{-6 - (-7)} = 10^1

. Multiplying these results gives

5 \times 10^1 = 50

A scientist monitors the temperature of two research chambers. Chamber A is kept at $-5^\circ\text{C}$ and Chamber B is kept at $7^\circ\text{C}$ . The scientist sets a third chamber, Chamber C, to a temperature of $T^\circ\text{C}$ such that the distance between $T$ and the temperature of Chamber A on the Celsius scale is exactly $3$ times the distance between $T$ and the temperature of Chamber B. If the temperature of Chamber C is warmer than Chamber A but colder than Chamber B, what is the value of $T$ ?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 4

Cevap

The correct temperature value of Chamber C is 4.

The temperature of Chamber C must be

4^\circ\text{C}

because the distance from

4

to

-5

is

|4 - (-5)| = 9

and the distance from

4

to

7

is

|4 - 7| = 3

. The distance of

9

is exactly

3

times the distance of

3

. Furthermore,

4

lies between

-5

and

7

, satisfying the condition that Chamber C is warmer than Chamber A but colder than Chamber B.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Represent the distances on the number line using absolute value expressions.

The distance to Chamber A is

|T - (-5)| = |T + 5|

and the distance to Chamber B is

|T - 7|

.

Distance between two points

x

and

y

on a number line is represented by

|x - y|

.

2

Set up the algebraic equation reflecting the relationship between the distances.

|T + 5| = 3|T - 7|

The problem states the distance to Chamber A is exactly 3 times the distance to Chamber B.

3

Solve the absolute value equation by considering both positive and negative cases.

Case 1:

T + 5 = 3(T - 7) \Rightarrow T = 13

. Case 2:

T + 5 = -3(T - 7) \Rightarrow T = 4

.

The equation

|x| = |y|

implies

x = y

or

x = -y

.

4

Verify which solution satisfies the temperature boundary condition.

Since Chamber C must be warmer than

-5^\circ\text{C}

but colder than

7^\circ\text{C}

, the only valid value is

T = 4

.

The value

T = 13

is warmer than both chambers and does not lie between them.

A circle in the standard $(x, y)$ coordinate plane is defined by the equation $x^2 + y^2 - 8x - 6y = 0$ . A point on this circle has an $x$ -coordinate of $1$ and a positive $y$ -coordinate. What is the $y$ -coordinate of this point?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 7

Cevap

The positive y-coordinate of the point on the circle is 7.

Substituting

x = 1

into the circle's equation

x^2 + y^2 - 8x - 6y = 0

gives

1 + y^2 - 8 - 6y = 0

, which simplifies to the quadratic equation

y^2 - 6y - 7 = 0

. Factoring this equation yields

(y - 7)(y + 1) = 0

. The solutions are

y = 7

and

y = -1

. Because the y-coordinate must be positive, the correct value is 7.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Substitute the x-coordinate

x = 1

into the circle's equation.

1^2 + y^2 - 8(1) - 6y = 0

This sets up the equation to solve for the corresponding y-coordinates.

2

Simplify the equation.

y^2 - 6y - 7 = 0

Combining the constant terms creates a standard quadratic equation in terms of y.

A highway is constructed up a mountain pass at a constant incline. At a distance of $3.6$ miles from the starting toll gate, the elevation of the highway is $1,420$ feet above sea level. At a distance of $8.4$ miles from the toll gate, the elevation is $3,100$ feet above sea level. What is the slope of the highway's elevation profile, in feet per mile?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 350

Cevap

The slope of the highway's elevation profile is 350 feet per mile.

The slope represents the constant rate of change of elevation per mile. By defining the coordinates as

(x_1, y_1) = (3.6, 1420)

and

(x_2, y_2) = (8.4, 3100)

, we calculate the slope using the slope formula. Substituting the values gives

m = \frac{3100 - 1420}{8.4 - 3.6} = \frac{1680}{4.8} = 350

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Represent the given data as coordinate points where the x-coordinate represents the distance in miles and the y-coordinate represents the elevation in feet.

The coordinate points are

(3.6, 1420)

and

(8.4, 3100)

.

Slope is the change in the dependent variable (elevation) per unit change in the independent variable (distance).

2

Apply the slope formula

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

to find the rate of change.

m = \frac{3100 - 1420}{8.4 - 3.6} = \frac{1680}{4.8}

The slope represents the constant rate of change of elevation relative to the distance traveled.

A manufacturer of solar panels inspects their production in three stages. In the first stage, $\frac{1}{12}$ of the total panels produced are identified as defective and recycled. In the second stage, $20\%$ of the remaining non-defective panels are found to have cosmetic flaws and are sold at a discount. In the third stage, $\frac{1}{5}$ of the panels that passed the first two stages without any defects or flaws are selected for quality testing. If $1,760$ panels passed the first two stages but were NOT selected for quality testing, what was the total number of panels originally produced?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 3000

Cevap

The total number of panels originally produced was

3,000

.

The correct answer of

3,000

is determined by calculating the cumulative fraction of panels that are not defective, do not have cosmetic flaws, and are not selected for testing. In Stage 1, subtracting

\frac{1}{12}

leaves

\frac{11}{12}

of the original panels. In Stage 2, subtracting

20\%

of those leaves

80\%

(or

\frac{4}{5}

), resulting in

\frac{11}{15}

of the original panels. In Stage 3, subtracting

\frac{1}{5}

of these leaves

\frac{4}{5}

, resulting in

\frac{44}{75}

of the original panels. Setting

\frac{44}{75}

of the original panels equal to

1,760

and solving for the total original panels yields

3,000

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate the fraction of panels remaining after the first stage of inspection.

\frac{11}{12}

of the original panels

Since

\frac{1}{12}

of the total panels are defective and recycled, the remaining portion is

1 - \frac{1}{12} = \frac{11}{12}

.

2

Calculate the fraction of the original panels that pass the second stage without defects or flaws.

\frac{11}{15}

of the original panels

Of the remaining

\frac{11}{12}

of the panels,

20\%

have cosmetic flaws, meaning

100\% - 20\% = 80\%

(or

\frac{4}{5}

) do not have flaws. Multiplying these fractions gives

\frac{4}{5} \times \frac{11}{12} = \frac{11}{15}

.

3

Calculate the fraction of original panels that pass the first two stages but are not selected for testing.

\frac{44}{75}

of the original panels

Since

\frac{1}{5}

of the flawless panels are selected for testing, the remaining

1 - \frac{1}{5} = \frac{4}{5}

are not selected. Multiplying this by the fraction from Step 2 gives

\frac{4}{5} \times \frac{11}{15} = \frac{44}{75}

.

4

Solve for the original number of panels,

P

, using the given value of

1,760

.

P = 3,000

panels

Set up the equation

\frac{44}{75} P = 1,760

. Solving for

P

gives

P = 1,760 \times \frac{75}{44} = 40 \times 75 = 3,000

The exact value of the expression is 0.8.

Evaluating

\cos\left(\arcsin\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)\right)

requires finding the cosine of an angle

\theta

whose sine is

\frac{3}{5}

. In a right triangle with an opposite side of 3 and a hypotenuse of 5, the adjacent side is

\sqrt{5^2 - 3^2} = 4

. The cosine of

\theta

is the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse, which gives

\frac{4}{5} = 0.8

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Interpret the inverse sine function as an angle.

Let

\theta = \arcsin\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)

, meaning

\sin(\theta) = \frac{3}{5}

for

0 < \theta < \frac{\pi}{2}

The inverse sine function returns an angle whose sine is the given value within the principal interval

\left[-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right]

.

2

Find the adjacent side of the right triangle associated with angle

\theta

.

\text{adjacent} = \sqrt{5^2 - 3^2} = \sqrt{16} = 4

By the Pythagorean theorem,

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

, so the adjacent side length is

\sqrt{c^2 - b^2}

.

3

Calculate the cosine of angle

\theta

.

\cos(\theta) = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \frac{4}{5} = 0.8

The value of

\sin \theta \cos \theta

is 0.32.

Squaring both sides of

\sin \theta - \cos \cos \theta = 0.6

yields

\sin^2 \theta - 2\sin \theta \cos \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 0.36

. Substituting the Pythagorean identity

\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1

gives

1 - 2\sin \theta \cos \theta = 0.36

, which rearranges to

2\sin \theta \cos \theta = 0.64

. Dividing by 2 yields

\sin \theta \cos \theta = 0.32

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Square both sides of the given equation

(\sin \theta - \cos \theta)^2 = 0.36

Squaring allows us to introduce the product

\cos^2 \theta

.

2

Expand the binomial on the left side

\sin^2 \theta - 2\sin \theta \cos \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 0.36

Use the algebraic expansion identity

(a - b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab + b^2

.

3

Substitute the fundamental Pythagorean trigonometric identity

\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1

1 - 2\sin \theta \cos \theta = 0.36

\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta

always equals 1 for any angle

\theta

.

4

Isolate the term containing

\sin \theta \cos \theta

2\sin \theta \cos \theta = 0.64

Subtract 0.36 from 1 to find the value of

2\sin \theta \cos \theta

.

Divide by 2 to solve for

\sin \theta \cos \theta

\sin \theta \cos \theta = 0.32

Simplifies
