Mixture Problems

Algebra mixture problems are the problems which derive at a final solution by adding solution of two or more results of the same problem. A given algebra word problem consists of data which are arranged to solve part by part and then to derive at solution for the end results of each part is mixed. Solving Algebra Mixture Problem Finding how many liters of a solution that is 20% alcohol should be combined with 10 liters of a solution that is 50% alcohol to create a solution that is 30% alcohol? . Solution :- The primary technique that we will develop here is to trace the target ingredient in the problem. In this problem the target ingredient is alcohol. In future problems it might be antifreeze or acid. The equation will state that the amount of alcohol in the first container and the amount of alcohol in the second will equal the amount of alcohol in the final mixture.

The amount of alcohol in the first container plus the amount of alcohol in the second container equals the amount of alcohol in the final mixture. The equation is in the final column is written as. Algebra Mixture Problems Example 1. How many ounces of a solution that is 10% alcohol should be mixed with 12 ounces of a solution that is is 24% alcohol to create a solution that is 15% alcohol? On solving algebra work problems like the above one can derrive at required solution with correct values as mentioned in the table.

End Behavior
End behavior of a function means to find what will be the characteristics of the function at extreme points i.e. at points when x approaches to on positive as well as negative axis. End behavior can be found with the help of graphs. It can be directly manipulated by seeing the graph that which part of the graph will go up and which one will go down at the extreme points. End behavior can also be found by applying some rules on the function equations. Both methods of finding the end behavior are described with the help of proper examples in the following section. Finding End Behavior of Polynomials Consider a polynomial f (x) = anxn + an-1xn-1 + ... + a2x2 + a1x + a0

Now we can find the end behavior by just knowing the values of Leading Co-efficient an and Power n of the Polynomial Equation. Feasible Cases :Case 1:- If Leading coefficient(an) is positive, and the power(n) is even, both ends of the graph go up. Case 2:- If Leading coefficient(an) is negative, and the power(n) is even, both ends of the graph go down Case 3:- If Leading coefficient(an) is positive, and the power(n) is odd, the right hand of the graph goes up and the left hand goes down Case 4:- If Leading coefficient(an) is negative, and the power(n) is odd, the right hand of the graph goes down and the left hand goes up. Examples for Graphical End Behavior Below are some examples for graphical end behavior Example 1: Let us take an graphical example to show end behavior :It is clear from the graph that that when x approaches to , the right part of the graph is Read More About Multiplying Fractions Worksheets

going upward. Similarly, when x approaches to - then left part of the graph is also going upward. Now , look at this example This example is somewhat different from the previous one. Here, when x approaches to , the right part of graph extends towards upward direction. But, when x approaches to - , the left part of the graph extends towards downward direction. Example 3: f(x)= - 3x9+7 Here, Leading Co-efficient = -3 = -ve value Degree of polynomial= 9 = ODD Using CASE 4 described above, we can conclude that the right hand of the graph goes down and the left hand goes up. End Behavior:- The right part of the graph goes down and the left hand goes up. Example 4: f(x)= 10x1000 +151
