Triangle Area = .5 * base * height

48 = .5 * (x +4) * x

48 = (.5x + 2) * x

48 = .5x^2 + 2x

.5x^2 + 2x -48 = 0

x = 8

base = 12

Mr eliot is extremely careful with his money. He recently invested part of his $150,000 life savings in gold bullion and the res
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

The amount invested in gold bullion by Mr. Eliot  =   $50,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount of savings Me. Eliot ha s = $150,000

Let us assume the amount invested in gold bullion = $m

So, the amount invested in bank = $150,000 - m

Now, 5% on m = \frac{5}{100}  \times m = 0.05 m

So, the profit in gold bullion  =  0.05 m

and 3% on (150,000 -m)   = \frac{3}{100}  \times  (150,000 -m) = 0.03  (150,000 -m)

= 4,500 - 0.03 m

So, the profit in bank =  4,500 - 0.03 m

Now,  the total profit  = $5,500

⇒Profit from gold bullion + ban = $5,500

⇒0.05 m +  4,500 - 0.03 m = $5,500

or, 0.02 m = 1000

⇒ m = 1000/0.02 = 50,000

Hence, the amount invested in gold bullion  =  m = $50,000

Prove that (a-b) x (a+b)=2a x b is true.<br> (a and b are vectors)
Anon25 [30]
(a-b) X (a+b)
=  aXa - bXa +aXb -bXb (distributing)

Now, cross product of a vector with itself = 0
so, aXa = 0, bXb = 0

Also, aXb = - bXa

so,
(a-b) X (a+b) = 0 + aXb + aXb + 0
= 2aXb

hence, proved :)
