John inherited $25,000 and invested part of it in a money market account, part in municipal bonds, and part in a mutual fund. Af

ter one year, he received a total of $1,620 in simple interest from the three investments. The money market paid 6% annually, the bonds paid 7% annually, and the mutually fund paid 8% annually. There was $6,000 more invested in the bonds than the mutual funds. Find the amount John invested in each category.
Select the appropriate response
A) x=2 y=-1 z=3

B) x=$15,000 y= $8,000 z=$2,000

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Understand

Let :

x = The amount of money invested in the money market account.  

y = The amount of money invested in municipal bonds.  

z = The amount of money invested in a mutual fund.  

The total investment is represented as:

x + y + z = $25,000

The interest earned can be represented as:

0.06x + 0.07y + 0.08z = $1,620

The amount invested in municipal bonds and mutual funds can be represented as:

y - z = $6,000

Process

The system of three equations can now be solved either by substitution, elimination, or with matrices.  Any process appropriately applied will supply a correct answer.  For this example, let's solve the problem by using matrices.

Solving with Matrices

The process of using matrices is essentially a shortcut for the process of elimination. Each row of the matrix represents an equation, and each column represents coefficients of one of the variables.  

Step 1:        Create a three-row by four-column matrix using coefficients and the constant of each equation.

The vertical lines in the matrix stands for the equal signs between both sides of each equation. The first column contains the coefficients of x; the second column contains the coefficients of y; the third column contains the coefficients of z; the last column contains the constants.  

We want to convert the original matrix to the following matrix.

because you can then read the matrix as x = a, y = b, and z = c.

Step 2:        We work with column 1 first. The number 1 is already in cell 11(Row 1- Col 1).  

Add -0.06 times Row 1 to Row 2 to form a new Row 2.

-0.06 [Row 1] + [Row 2] = [New Row 2]

Step 3:        We will now work with column 1. We want 1 in Cell 22, and we achieve this by multiplying Row 2 by 100.

100[Row 2] = [New Row 2]

Step 4:        Let's now manipulate the matrix so that there are zeros in Cell 12 and Cell 32. We do this by adding Row 2 to Row 1 and Row 3 to Row 2. That gives us a new Row 1 and a new Row 3.

- [Row 2] + [Row 1] = [New Row 1]

- [Row 2] + [Row 3] = [New Row 3]

Step 5:        Let's now manipulate the matrix so that there is a 1 in Cell 33. We do this by multiplying Row 3 by -1.

-1 [Row 3] = [New Row 3]

Step 6:        Let's now manipulate the matrix so that there are zeros in Cell 13 and Cell 23. We do this by adding Row 3 to Row 1 for a new Row 1 and adding -2 times Row 3 to Row 2 for a new Row 3.  

1[Row 3] + [Row 1] = [New Row 1]

-2[Row 3] + [Row 2] = [New Row 2]

Solution

You can now read the answers off the matrix:

x = $15,000 in the money market

y = $8,000 in municipal bonds

z = $2,000 in a mutual fund

Find f(-2) for the following function. <br><br>f(x)=3.6x-2​
butalik [34]

Answer:

f(- 2) = - 9.2

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate f(- 2) substitute x = - 2 into f(x) , that is

f(- 2) = 3.6(- 2) - 2 = - 7.2 - 2 = - 9.2

Help! First correct answer gets brainliest ​
lozanna [386]
All you have to do is plug in.

x = 1 , y= 8

3x+5=y

3(1) + 5 = 8

3+5 = 8

8=8

They are both equal, yes. The coordinates work out in the equation. Both sides are equal so the coordinates work. The answer is yes.

The sequence a1 = 6, an = 3an-1 can also be written as
wariber [46]
The question as presented is incomplete, here is the complete question with the multiple choice:

The sequence a1 = 6, an = 3an − 1 can also be written as:

1) an = 6 ⋅ 3^n
2) an = 6 ⋅ 3^(n + 1) 
3) an = 2 ⋅ 3^n
4) an = 2 ⋅ 3^(n + 1)

The correct choice is option 3) an = 2⋅3^n.

If we look at the initial sequence an = 3⋅an-1, and

a1 = 3⋅a0 = 6
a0 = 6/3
a0 = 2

We can now look at the sequence.

a0 = 2
a1 = 6
a2 = 18
a3 = 54
etc...

A common factor in each of those numbers is 2, so we can rewrite the sequence by factoring out 2.

a0 = 2⋅1
a1 = 2⋅3
a2 = 2⋅9
a3 = 2⋅27

The numbers being multiplied by 2 are all factors of 3. So we can rewrite the sequence again as:

a0 = 2⋅3^0
a1 = 2⋅3^1
a2 = 2⋅3^2
a3 = 2⋅3^3

This sequence can now be rewritten as an = 2⋅3^n.

3³+1x9+12 answer please, I really think it's 48.
UNO [17]

Answer:

You are correct the answer is 48.

Step-by-step explanation:

To begin solving this question you would want to start simplifying it to make it more understandable.

3^3 is 27 which now gives you 27 + 1 x 9 +12 which makes it easier to solve.

Then you would take 1 x 9 = 9 (multiply left to right)

Now it is simple addition

27 + 9 + 12 = 48

Hopefully this helps.
