A lab assistance prepares 2.50 liters of a 0.5000 M KCl solution.  What mass of KCl was used to prepare this particular solution? (Molar masses of K = 39.098 g/mol, Cl = 35.45 g/mol)  — [HINT: What units can you use to “M”?]

Consider the function on R2 (R is the set of Real numbers) u(x,y)=min{x2y,xy}. What is the maximizer of f in the set {(x,y): x+5y=10}? (Hint: consider a vector in the hyperplane (1 5).(x,y)=10; when can this vector be a maximizer of u if x2y>xy? What if x2y
