beth has a total of $6000 to invest, part at 6% simple interest and part at 8% simple interest. Her return for one year is $410.

How much did she invest at each rate?

Since interest=investment*interest rate*time in years for simple interest, we know that there are 2 separate investments. If the amount invested at 6% simple interest is x dollars and the amount invested at 8% is y dollars, then we know that x+y=6000 since she spent all 6000 dollars on only 2 separate investments. Subtracting y from both sides, we get that 6000-y=x. In addition, we know that her interest for the 6% interest rate is x*0.06*1 as well as y*0.08*1 for the 8% simple interest. Since the total interest is 410$, we know that x*0.06*1+y*0.08*1=410. Since y=6000-x, we plug that in to get x*0.06+(6000-x)*0.08=410. Using the distributive property to expand, we get x*0.06+480-0.08x=410=-0.02*x+480. Subtracting 480 from both sides, we get -0.02*x=-70. After that, we can multiply both sides by -50 (since -0.02 times -50 is 1) to get x=3500=amount invested at 6%. Since the amount invested at 8% is 6000-x, that equals 6000-3500=2500

Guys help me with System of linear equations:
Leni [432]

Step 1: Add the two equations together to get just one equation.

2x + y + x - y = 5 + 1

Step 2: Simplify.

3x = 6

Step 3: Divide by 3 on both sides.

3x / 3 = 6 / 3

x = 2

Therefore, the answer is x=2

Drag each tile to the correct box.
Julli [10]
For f(x), which has a vertex at (2,0), the y-intercept at (0,4) is above this vertex, so the parabola opens upward. This means that the vertex is the only point that touches the x-axis, so there is only 1 x-intercept.
For h(x), the graph does not have any x-intercepts.
For g(x) = x^2 + x - 2 = (x+2)(x-1), this intersects the x-axis at x = -2 and x = 1, so there are 2 x-intercepts.
From least to greatest: h(x), f(x), g(x).

The total source voltage in the circuit is 6-3i V. What is the voltage at the middle source
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

<em>The voltage at the middle source is</em> (2-4\mathbf{i})\ V

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Voltage Sources in Series</u>

When two or more voltage sources are connected in series, the total voltage is the sum of the individual voltages of each source.

The figure shown has three voltage sources of values:

2 + 6\mathbf{i}

a + b\mathbf{i}

2 - 5\mathbf{i}

The sum of these voltages is:

V_t=4+a+(6+b-5)\mathbf{i}

Operating:

V_t=4+a+(1+b)\mathbf{i}

We know the total voltage is 6-3\mathbf{i}, thus:

4+a+(1+b)\mathbf{i}=6-3\mathbf{i}

Equating the real parts and the imaginary parts independently:

4+a=6

1+b=-3

Solving each equation:

a = 2

b = -4

The voltage at the middle source is (2-4\mathbf{i})\ V

X^lg(x)=100^x find x
Wittaler [7]

x^lg(x)=100^x<span>
</span>


X^lg(x)=100^x:x  |Solve \ for \ x|


<span>|Use \ logarithms \ of \ both \ sides \ of \ the \ base \ 10|&#10;&#10;</span>

<span>
</span>

<span>lg (x ^ lg (x)) = lg (100x)&#10;&#10;</span>

<span>
</span>

<span>lg ^ 2 (x) = 2 + lgx</span>

<span>
</span>

lg 2 ^ x-lg x -2 = 0


lg x = 2 x = 100


lg x = -1 x = \dfrac{1}{10} = 0.1
