Answer:

The woman invested $15,000 at 7% interest rate and $5,000 at  6% interest rate.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Let x be the interest earned from 7% interest rate and y be the interest earned from 6% interest rate.

The woman invested has three times as much invested at 7% as she does at 6%.

Thus, we can write the equation:

x = 3y

The total interest is $1,350.

Thus, we can write the equation:

1350 = \dfrac{7x}{100} + \dfrac{6y}{100}\\\\7x + 6y = 135000

Solving the two equations by substitution method:

7(3y) + 6y = 135000\\27y = 135000\\y = 5000\\x = 3(5000) = 15000

Thus, she invested $15,000 at 7% interest rate and $5,000 at  6% interest rate.

the school newspaper has a circulation of 500 and sells for $.035 a copy. the students decide to raise the price to increase the
Alik [6]

Let x be the number of times they raise the price on the newspaper. Then the new cost of the newspaper is

.35+.05x

Let y be the newspaper they sell, then the income will be

y(.35+.05x)

Now, we know that the circulation is of 500, assuming that they sold every newspaper at the original price now the number the will sell will be

y=500-20x

Plugging the value of y in the first expression we have that the income will be

\begin{gathered} f(x)=(500-20x)(.35+\text{0}.5x)=175+25x-7x-x^2 \\ =-x^2+18x+175 \end{gathered}

Then the income is given by the function

f(x)=-x^2+18x+175

To find the maximum value of this functions (thus the maximum income) we need to take the derivative of the function,

\begin{gathered} \frac{df}{dx}=\frac{d}{dx}(-x^2+18x+175) \\ =-2x+18 \end{gathered}

no we equate the derivative to zero and solve for x.

\begin{gathered} \frac{df}{dx}=0 \\ -2x+18=0 \\ -2x=-18 \\ x=\frac{-18}{-2} \\ x=9 \end{gathered}

This means that we have an extreme value of the function when x=9. Now we need to find out if this value is a maximum or a minimum. To do this we need to take the second derivative of the function, then

\begin{gathered} \frac{d^2f}{dx^2}=\frac{d}{dx}(\frac{df}{dx}) \\ =\frac{d}{dx}(-2x+18) \\ =-2 \end{gathered}

Since the second derivative is negative in the point x=9, we conclude that this value is a maximum of the function.

With this we conclude that the number of times that they should raise the price to maximize the income is 9. This means that they will raise the price of the newspaper (9)($0.05)=$0.45.

Therefore the price to maximize the income is $0.35+$0.45=$0.80.

Answer:

f(x) = 1-x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph of f(x) is just shifted down 3 units

A shift down is a subtraction

f(x) = g(x) -3

     = 4- x^2 -3

     =1-x^2

If the Internet consisted of four computers, there would be six possible connections. If it consisted of five computers, there w
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

<em>45 possible connections</em>

<em />

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation for finding the possible number of connections in a network is given as

\frac{n*(n - 1)}{2}

where n is the number of computers on the network.

for 4 computers, we'll have

\frac{4*(4 - 1)}{2} = \frac{4*3}{2} = 6

for 5 computers, we'll have

\frac{5*(5 - 1)}{2} = \frac{5*4}{2} = 10.

therefore, for 10 computers, we will have

\frac{10*(10 - 1)}{2} = \frac{10*9}{2} = <em>45 possible connections</em>
