Supposing that the integers are x, y and z, and that their average is 8, then

x+y+z
-------- = 8, or x + y + z = 24.
    3

Let's experiment.    Making up a table, we get:

x   y   z   sum (sum MUST be 24)
5  9  10    24
4  9   11    24
3  10  11   24
2   11 11    24
1   11  12   24
1   10  13   24
1    1   22   24

Can't choose integers smaller than 1, so it appears that 22 is the largest possible integer that could be one of x, y and z.

Use the parabola tool to graph the quadratic function. f(x)=2x^2 +12x+16 Graph the parabola by first plotting its vertex and the
givi [52]
(-3, -2) is the vertex. 

You can find this by plugging into -b/2a to find the x value and using the x value to find the y value. 

And another spot on the vertex would be (0, 16), which is the y intercept.

Kamran wins the big game lottery. He invests part of his winnings in treasury bonds promising a 5% annual return and he deposits
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

Amount won by Kamran = $21,450

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be calculated using the following 3 steps:

Step 1: Calculation of the amount invested in treasury bonds

Since the limit to the duration of investment is not stated, the amount invested can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of a perpetuity as follows:

PV = P / r …………………………………. (1)

Where;

PV = Present value or the amount invested treasury bonds = ?

P = Annual return on his investments = $661.25

r = Annual rate of return = 5%, or 0.05

Substitute the values into equation (1), we have:

PV = $661.25 / 0.05 = $13,225

Step 2: Calculation of the amount deposited in the money market account

From Step 1 above, we have:

Amount invested treasury bonds = $13,225

Since he invests $5000 more in treasury bonds than he deposits in the money market account, the amount deposited in the money market account can be calculated as follows:

Amount deposited in the money market account = Amount invested treasury bonds - $5,000 = $13,225 - $5,000 = $8,225

Step 3: Calculation of the amount won by Kamran

Amount won by Kamran = Amount invested treasury bonds + Amount deposited in the money market account = $13,225 + $8,225 = $21,450
