Answer:

The amount invested at 6% is $12,857.14

The amount invested at 13% is $17,142.86

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the amount invested at 6%

30,000-x -----> the amount invested at 13%

we know that

The interest earned by the amount invested at 6% plus the interest earned by the amount at 13% must be equal to the interest earned by the total amount of $30,000 at 10%

Remember that

6\%=6\100=0.06

13\%=13\100=0.13

10\%=10\100=0.10

so

The linear equation that represent this situation is

0.06x+(30,000-x)0.13=0.10(30,000)

solve for x

0.06x+3,900-0.13x=3,000\\0.13x-0.06x=3,900-3,000\\0.07x=900\\x=\$12,857.14$

x-\$30,000=\$17,142.86

therefore

The amount invested at 6% is $12,857.14

The amount invested at 13% is $17,142.86

Assume that y varies inversely with x. if y = 16 when x = 1/2, find y when x=32​
MissTica

y varies inversely with x.

Example:

If we multiply x by 2 we need to divide y by 2 too.

So,

If y = 16 and x = 1/2, find y when x = 32

Lets see, from 1/2 to 32 e need to multiply 1/2 by 64, right? So let's divide 16 by 64.

16/64 = 8/32 = 4/16 = 2/8 = 1/4

So we can say that:

If y = 16 when x = 1/2, y = 1/4 when x = 32.

Find the surface area of the rectangular and triangular prisms

Is there a picture to this????

if your just asking how to find  the area of something all you need to do is multiply all the numbers together and the total is the area.
For example if its 8cm,3cm,2cm all you need to do is multiply them together
8x3x2=48  so your area is 48cm

Please help me answer this
Ronch [10]

Answer:

10.77

Step-by-step explanation:

by using Pythagoras theorem we can find the distance between the points,

so...

distance between the points, which is the hypotenuse will be xy

difference between the y coordinates will be dy

difference between the x coordinates will be dx

according to pythagoras theorem,

xy^{2} = dx^{2} +  dy^{2} \\xy^{2} = (-6-(-2))^{2} + (-5-5)^{2}\\xy^{2} =(-4)^{2} +(-10)^{2} \\xy^{2} =16+100\\xy^{2} =116\\xy =\sqrt{116} \\xy=10.77
