Answer:

  • $10,000 in the 11% fund
  • $5,000 in the stock

Step-by-step explanation:

Let f and s represent the amounts invested in the fund and in stocks, respectively. The problem statement gives rise to two equations:

  f + s = 15000 . . . . . . . Susan invested a total of 15000

  0.11f + (-0.05)s = 850 . . . . . her total return was 850

These can be solved by any of a variety of methods. Using elimination, we can multiply the second equation by 20 and add it to the first:

  20(0.11f -0.05s) +(f + s) = 20(850) +15000

  3.2f = 32000 . . . . . . . . . simplify

  f = 10000

  s = 15000 -f = 5000

Susan invested $10,000 in the fund and $5,000 in stock.

Write the conjugate of the following complex<br> number:<br> -6i
evablogger [386]

Answer:

6i

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to write the conjugate of the complex number:

-6i

Recall that the conjugate of a complex number in the form <em>a</em> + <em>b</em>i is <em>a</em> - <em>b</em>i, and vice versa.

We can rewrite our complex number as:

\displaystyle 0 - 6i

Hence, <em>a</em> = 0 and <em>b</em> = 6.

Then its conjugate will be:

0 + 6i = 6i
