What is the solution set of 2 x(x-1) =3?

A business has two loans totaling $50,000. One loan has a rate of 8% and the other has a rate of 12%. This year, the business ex

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

the 8% loan has a principal of $37500

the 12% loan has a principal of $12500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by writing the general equation for the interest hwre I is the interest, P is the principal (in our case would be loan amounts), "r" is the interest rate in decimal form (in our case one would be 0.12, and the other one 0.08), and t is the time in years (in our case 1 year).

$I=P*r*t$

Then we write the interest equation coming from each loan at the end of this year (we call I1 the interest coming from the 12% loan and I2 the interest coming from the 8% one). Since we don't know the loan amounts (in fact those are what we need to find) we will name one "x" and the other "y":

$I=P*r*t\\I1=x * 0.12*1\\I2=y*0.08*1$

Next, we add these last two equations term by term, and replace the addition of both interests by $4500 as given in the information:

$I1=x * 0.12*1\\I2=y*0.08*1\\I1+I2 = 0.12x+0.08y\\4500=0.12x+0.08y$

This is our first equation in the variables x and y which are our unknowns.

Now we generate the second equation on x and y by writing in agebraic terms the other piece of information we have: "the total of the two loans is $50000. That is the addition of the principals x and y should equal $50000:

$x+y=50000$

We solve for y in this last equation and replace its form in terms of x in the equation of the interest, and solve for the unknown x:

$y=50000-x\\4500 = 0.12x +0.08 y\\4500=0.12x+0.08(50000-x)\\4500=0.12x+4000-0.08x\\4500=0.12x-0.08x+4000\\4500=0.04x+4000\\4500-4000=0.04x\\500=0.04x\\x=\frac{500}{0.04} =12500$

Therefore the amount of the loan at 12% is $12500

Now to find the amount of the second loan "y" we use the equation for the totals of the loans:

$x+y=50000\\12500+y=50000\\y=50000-12500=37500$

Therefore, the loan at 8% is $37500

In order for you to use the goodnees-of-fit test, the test of independence, or the test of homogeneity, the expected frequencies

nataly862011 [7]

The condition for the expected value in the goodness of fit test is that the expected frequency is at least 5.

According to the statement

we have to find the condition of the expected values in the case of testing of goodness-of-fit test.

So, For this purpose we know that the

The goodness of fit test is of a statistical model describes how well it fits a set of observations. Measures of goodness of fit typically summarize the discrepancy between observed values and the values expected.

So, The main condition of the expected value for the goodness of fit test is

For each category, the expected frequency is at least 5.

Without this condition the test is not possible, so overall this the main condition related the goodness of fit test.

So, The condition for the expected value in the goodness of fit test is that the expected frequency is at least 5.

A boat travels 12 km upstream and back in 1 hour 45 minutes. If the speed of the current is 3 km/h throughout, find the speed of

Elza [17]

Answer:

14.3 km/h to 3 significant figures

Step-by-step explanation:

Let time travelling upstream be t1 hours and downstream = t2 hours.

t1 + t2 = 1.75..........................(1)

Let v be the speed of the boat in still water.

12 / t1 = v - 3.........................(2)

12 / t2 = v + 3........................(3)

From (1) and (3) , substituting for t2:-

12 / (1.75 - t1) = v + 3 ..................(4)

Subtract:- (2) - (4):-

12 / t1 - 12 / (1.75 - t1) = -6

12(1 .75 - t1) - 12t1 = -6t1(1.75 - t1)

21 - 12t1 - 12t1 = -10.5t1 + 6t^2

6t1^2 + 13.5t1 - 21 = 0

Solving this gives t1 = 1.058 hours

Therefore the speed in still water (v) = 12/1.058 + 3 = 14.3 to 3 sig figs

A ladder is placed against a wall such that the top is 8 feet above the ground. If the ladder is 10 feet long, how far away from

Annette [7]

Answer:

6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the right triangle formed by the wall, ladder and ground.

Let the distance the ladder is from the wall be d , then

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

The square on the hypotenuse ( ladder) is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides ( wall and d ), then

d² + 8² = 10²

d² + 64 = 100 ( subtract 64 from both sides )

d² = 36 ( take the square root of both sides )

d = $\sqrt{36}$ = 6

That is the ladder is 6 feet away from the wall
