Let x represent invested money at 9% and y at 7%
Now we write system:
x+y = 6300
1.09*x + 1.07* y = 6300 + 493 = 6793

1.09x + 1.09y = 6867
Here we multiplied first equation with 1.09 and now we will subtract second from first:

0.02y = 74
y = 3700
x = 6300-3700 = 2600

Michael invested 2600 at 9% and 3700 at 7%

A function h is defined by h(x)=−4x−72. If x decreases by 11, by how much does h(x) increase?
vladimir1956 [14]

<u>QUESTION 1</u>

The given function is


h(x)=-4x-72

If x decreases by 11, then the new value is x-11.


We need to find the value the function at x-11 which is


h(x-11)=-4(x-11)-72


This simplifies to


h(x-11)=-4x+44-72


The increment in h(x) is given by;


h(x-11)-h(x)=-4x+44-72-(-4x-72)


This simplifies to,

h(x-11)-h(x)=-4x+44-72+4x+72


This further simplifies to


h(x-11)-h(x)=44


Therefore the corresponding increment in h(x) is 44.


<u>QUESTION 2</u>

The given function is

f(x)=\frac{3}{17}x+2.


If x increases by 51, then the new value of x is x+51.


The increment in f(x) is given by

h(x+51)-h(x)=\frac{3}{17}(x+51)+2-(\frac{3}{17}x+2)


We expand the brackets to get,


h(x+51)-h(x)=\frac{3}{17}x+9+2-\frac{3}{17}x-2


We simplify further to obtain,


h(x+51)-h(x)=9


Therefore the corresponding increment in f(x) is 9.

Mrs. Aguirre is going to plant a rectangular garden in her rectangular backyard, as
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

From the image attached we can see that the width of the garden is 6 ft. The length of the garden is the slanting side of the triangle (hypotenuse).

Let x be the length of the garden. The height of the triangle = 40 ft - 15 ft = 25 ft.

The base of the triangle = 80 ft - 75 ft = 5 ft.

The length of the garden is gotten using Pythagoras:

x² = 25² + 5²

x² = 650

x = 25.5 ft.

The area of the garden = length * width = 25.5 * 6 = 153 ft²

Hence the approximate area = 160 ft²

Please help I am on number 1 please explain
jeka57 [31]
A % is out of a hundred, so you don't need the %/100. Then, you wouldn't do cross multiplication, you would just divide 15/27. Remember, it would be 15/27  because it's percent markup, not the percent the price increased by. So, doing that simple calculation on a calculator you get 0.5555. This converted to a percent is just moving the decimal to the right twice, or multiplied by a 100. That would give you 55.55%, and that's your answer. Make sense?
