Answer:

  • $3200 at 3%
  • $4800 at 2%

Step-by-step explanation:

Interest earned is proportional to the interest rate, so if the interest earned is the same, the amounts invested must be inversely proportional to the interest rates. That is, for the 3% and 2% accounts, the ratio of money invested is 2:3.

In other words, 2/5 of the money ($3200) was invested at 3%, and 3/5 of the money ($4800) was invested at 2%.

_____

If you need an equation, you can let x represent the amount invested at the highest rate. Then 8000-x is the amount invested at the lower rate. For the interest in the two accounts to be equal, we have ...

  3%·x = 2%·(8000-x) . . . . . the amounts of interest earned are the same

  3/2·x = 8000 -x . . . . . . . . divide by 2%

  5/2·x = 8000 . . . . . . . . . . . add x and simplify

  x = 8000·(2/5) = 3200  . . . multiply by the inverse of the x coefficient

  8000-x = 8000 -3200 = 4800 . . . . the amount invested at the lower rate

Tamara invested $3200 in the 3% account and $4800 in the 2% account.

_____

She earned $96 in each account for the year.

What are the sine and cosine ratios for a 30°–60°–90° triangle with a hypotenuse of 6, when θ = 60°?
Margaret [11]

Answer:

There are two ways to do this problem algebraically or trigonometrically.

Algebraically/geometrically

The ratios of the sides of a 30/60/90 tri. are x, x√3, 2x (short leg, long leg, hyp). Therefore, if the long leg is 6 'units'. then 6 = x√3. x = 6√3.

The hyp is 2x then the hypotenuse is 2(6√3) = 12√3, rationalizing is 12√3/3 = 4√3

Using Trig.

We can use sinx = y/r = opp/hyp. The long leg of 6 is opposite 60 degrees (pi/3).

Therefore, sin(pi/3) = 6/r =

r = 6/sin(pi/3) = 6/(√3/2) = 12/√3, when you rationalize you get 12√3/3 = 4√3

A parabola can be drawn given a focus of (-9, -7) and a directrix of x = 9. Write
Slav-nsk [51]

Check the picture below, so the parabola looks more or less like so, with a vertex at (0 , -7), let's recall the vertex is half-way between the focus point and the directrix.

so this horizontal parabola opens up to the left-hand-side, meaning that the "P" distance is a negative value.

\textit{horizontal parabola vertex form with focus point distance} \\\\ 4p(x- h)=(y- k)^2 \qquad \begin{cases} \stackrel{vertex}{(h,k)}\qquad \stackrel{focus~point}{(h+p,k)}\qquad \stackrel{directrix}{x=h-p}\\\\ p=\textit{distance from vertex to }\\ \qquad \textit{ focus or directrix}\\\\ \stackrel{"p"~is~negative}{op ens~\supset}\qquad \stackrel{"p"~is~positive}{op ens~\subset} \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}

\begin{cases} h=0\\ k=-7\\ p=-9 \end{cases}\implies 4(-9)(x-0)~~ = ~~[y-(-7)]^2 \\\\\\ -36x=(y+7)^2\implies x=-\cfrac{1}{36}(y+7)^2

First of all we want to find a common denominator so we can add them together.

40 is our Lowest Common Multiple.

5/8 = 25/40
1/5 = 8/40

25/40 + 8/40 = 33/40
