a = amount invested at 5%

b = amount invested at 2%

now, we know the total invested by Mr Wilson was 20000, so whatever "a" and "b" might be, we know that a + b = 20000.

a + b = 20000\implies b = 20000-a \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{5\% of a}}{\left( \cfrac{5}{100} \right)a}\implies 0.05a~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{2\% of b}}{\left( \cfrac{2}{100} \right)a}\implies \begin{array}{llll} 0.02b\\\\ \stackrel{substituting}{0.02(20000-a)} \end{array}

now, we know the total of earned interest is 550 bucks, so then

0.05a~~ + ~~0.02(20000-a)~~ = ~~550\implies 0.05a+400-0.02a=550 \\\\\\ 0.03a+400=550\implies 0.03a=150\implies a=\cfrac{150}{0.03}\implies a=5000 \\\\\\ ~\hspace{24em}\stackrel{20000~~ - ~~5000}{b=15000}

Is the binomial a factor of the polynomial nominal function?
Sedbober [7]

The factors for given equation f(x)=x^{3} +3x^{2} -25x-75.

  • (x-1) - No
  • (x-3) - No
  • (x+3) - Yes
  • (x-5) - Yes
  • (x+5) - Yes

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The given equation is f(x)=x^{3} +3x^{2} -25x-75 .

Add 0 at the end of the equation.

x^{3} +3x^{2} -25x-75 = 0.

Let us group the given equation,

(x^{3} +3x^{2}) -(25x-75) =0.

⇒ Group 1: x^{3} +3x^{2} .

Group 2: - 25x +75 .

Pull out factor from each group,

⇒ Group 1: (x+3)(x^{2}).

Group 2: (x+3) (-25).

Join the two group since both (x+3) is common in both groups.

(x+3)(x^{2} -25) =0.

One of the factor is (x+3).

Other factors are solved by the formula, a^{2}-b^{2} = (a+b) (a-b) .

(x+3)(x^{2} -25) = (x+5) (x-5) .

The other factors are (x+5) and (x-5).
