$5000 is the correct answer.

The formula for simple interest is I=prt.  Anson gets 10% interest; 10% = 10/100 = 0.1.  This gives us
I=p(0.1)(1) = 0.1p.

Jenny borrows 1000 more than Anson, so her principal is p+1000.  Her rate is 8%; 8%=8/100 = 0.08.  She invests it for half of a year, or 0.5. Together this gives us:
I=(p+1000)(0.08)(0.5)
= (p+1000)(0.04)
= p*0.04 + 1000*0.04
= 0.04p + 40

Together they earned 740:
0.1p+0.04p+40 = 740

Combine like terms:
0.14p+40 = 740

Subtract 40 from both sides:
0.14p+40-40 = 740-40
0.14p = 700

Divide both sides by 0.14:
0.14p/0.14 = 700/0.14
p = 5000

Select the correct answer.
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

The graph of function g is the graph of function f shifted 6 units up.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = 2^x

g(x) =2^x + 6

Required

Compare g(x) to f(x)

Substitute f(x) = 2^x in g(x) =2^x + 6

g(x) = f(x) + 6

<em>This implies that f(x) is shifted 6 units upward to give g(x)</em>

How to solve this <br>3 = (2x + 8)/3​
seropon [69]

Answer:

x = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

First you want to get rid of the fraction, so you can multiply both sides of the equation by 3.

9 = 2x + 8

Then, subtract 8 from both sides to get x by itself.

1 = 2x

Finally, divide both sides by 2 so you only have one x

1/2 = x

This means that the answer is x = 1/2.

madam [21]

Answer:

a.) f(x) = \frac{1}{30} where 90 < x < 120

b.) \frac{2}{3}

c.)  \frac{2}{3}

d.)  \frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

X be a uniform random variable that denotes the actual charging time of battery.

Given that, the actual recharging time required is uniformly distributed between 90 and 120 minutes.

⇒X ≈ ∪ ( 90, 120 )

a.)

Probability density function , f (x) = \frac{1}{120 - 90} = \frac{1}{30} where 90 < x < 120

b.)

P(x < 110) = \int\limits^{110}_{90} {\frac{1}{30} } \, dx

               = \frac{1}{30}[x]\limits^{110}_{90}  = \frac{1}{30} [ 110 - 90 ] = \frac{1}{30} [ 20] = \frac{2}{3}

c.)

P(x > 100 ) = \int\limits^{120}_{100} {\frac{1}{30} } \, dx

                 = \frac{1}{30}[x]\limits^{120}_{100}  = \frac{1}{30} [ 120 - 100 ] = \frac{1}{30} [ 20] = \frac{2}{3}

d.)

P(95 < x< 110)  = \int\limits^{110}_{95} {\frac{1}{30} } \, dx

                       = \frac{1}{30}[x]\limits^{110}_{95}  = \frac{1}{30} [ 110 - 95 ] = \frac{1}{30} [ 15] = \frac{1}{2}
