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.

What is the solution to the following system?
leva [86]

Answer:

(4,3,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this via matrices, so the equations given can be written in matrix form as:

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}3&2&1&20\\1&-4&-1&-10\\2&1&2&15\end{array}\right]

Now I will shift rows to make my pivot point (top left) a 1 and so:

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&-4&-1&-10\\2&1&2&15\\3&2&1&20\end{array}\right]

Next I will come up with algorithms that can cancel out numbers where R1 means row 1, R2 means row 2 and R3 means row three therefore,

-2R1+R2=R2 , -3R1+R3=R3

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&-4&-1&-10\\0&9&4&35\\0&14&4&50\end{array}\right]

\frac{R_2}{9}=R_2


\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&-4&-1&-10\\0&1&\frac{4}{9}&\frac{35}{9}\\0&14&4&50\end{array}\right]


4R2+R1=R1 , -14R2+R3=R3

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&0&\frac{7}{9}&\frac{50}{9}\\0&1&\frac{4}{9}&\frac{35}{9}\\0&0&-\frac{20}{9}&-\frac{40}{9}\end{array}\right]


-\frac{9}{20}R_3=R_3

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&0&\frac{7}{9}&\frac{50}{9}\\0&1&\frac{4}{9}&\frac{35}{9}\\0&0&1&2\end{array}\right]


-\frac{4}{9}R_3+R_2=R2 , -\frac{7}{9}R_3+R_1=R_1


\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&0&0&4\\0&1&0&3\\0&0&1&2\end{array}\right]


Therefore the solution to the system of equations are (x,y,z) = (4,3,2)

Note: If answer choices are given, plug them in and see if you get what is "equal to".  Meaning plug in 4 for x, 3 for y and 2 for z in the first equation and you should get 20, second equation -10 and third 15.

Prove that if xy > 0, then either x > 0 and y > 0 or x < 0 and y < 0
Rufina [12.5K]

The rule of product states that:

  • (+) \cdot (+) = (+)
  • (+) \cdot (-) = (-)
  • (-) \cdot (+) = (-)
  • (-) \cdot (-) = (+)

So, a product is positive if and only if both factors have the same sign, and is negative if only if the factors have opposite sign.

Can someone help I’m not good with word problems
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

I agree that this question can be confusing:

Apparently point A and point B must be on the same straight line (measured from the light house or the question would be nonsensical)

tan 13 = H / DA      where H is height of lighthouse

tan 8 = H / DB       tangent measured from point B

tan 13 / tan 8 = DB / DA

DB = .2309 / .1405 * 1279 = 2101 ft

DB - DA = 2101 - 1279 = 822.0 ft
