- A 55-gallon barrel contains a mixture with a concentration of 33%. You remove x gallons of this mixture and
replace it with the same amount of 100% concentrate. Find the value of x if the final mixture is a 60% concentration.
- The revenue in dollars from selling x items of a product is
. Find the number of units that produces a maximum revenue.

of $30,000 in ten years.
- Evaluate
(Show your work.)
- Simplify: (3-2i)(4+i). Write your answer in the standard form for a complex number.
- The population P of a city is given by
P = 10,000
where t = 0 in 1990. In1995
the population was 12000. Find the value of k, and use this value to predict the population in the year 2002.
