Answers:

2% bond: $11000

4% bond: $13000

========================================================

Explanation:

x = amount invested in the 4% bond

y = amount invested in the 2% bond

Amounts are in dollars

The two amounts add to $24,000 so

x+y = 24000

y = -x+24000 is one equation to set up

0.04x = interest earned from the 4% bond

0.02y = interest earned from the 2% bond

0.04x+0.02y = total interest earned = $700

0.04x+0.02y = 700 is another equation to set up

------------

The system of equations is

\begin{cases}y = -x+24000\\0.04x+0.02y = 700\end{cases}

Apply substitution. Solve for x.

0.04x+0.02y = 700

0.04x+0.02(-x+24000) = 700

0.04x-0.02x+480 = 700

0.02x= 700-480

0.02x= 220

x= 220/(0.02)

x = 11000

Use this to find y

y = -x+24000

y = -11000+24000

y = 13000

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Because dividing any term by the previous term gives a constant this is a geometric sequence of the form an=y^(n-1). Since each term is four times the previous term y=4 so

an=4^(n-1)

Answer:

2x\sqrt{40x}-2x\sqrt{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

2x\sqrt{40x}-2x\sqrt{5} is found by first, siplifying the radicals in the parenthesis. \sqrt{8x^{2} } can be simplified as 2x\sqrt{2} and -2\sqrt{x} stays the same. Now we have to multiply these two by \sqrt{5x} which then results in 2x\sqrt{40x}-2x\sqrt{5}

A cruise ship is traveling at a speed of 20 knots . A knot is approximately equal to 1.151 miles per hour. What is the approxima
Mrrafil [7]
1 mile = 1760 yards
20 * 1.151 = 23.02
23.02 * 1760 = 40,515.2
40,515.2 / 60 = 675.243~
675.243~ / 60 = 11.2542~
They are traveling 11.25 yards per second
I took the number of knots multiplied by the approximate miles per hour equal
Then multiplied that by the number of yards in a mile, and then divided that by the number of minutes in an hour, and divided that by the number of seconds in a minute. That is how I got the answer, I hope it helps!
