Answer:

28 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

1) A factory manufactures a metal piece in 32 minutes

2) New technology allowed the factory to cut that time by 8%

Remember that

100\%-8\%=92\%=92/100=0.92

In this part 32 minutes represent the 100%

To find out how long  it take to manufacture the piece, multiply 32 minutes by the factor 0.92

32(0.92)=29.44\ min

3) Then another improvement cut the time by 5%

Remember that

100\%-5\%=95\%=95/100=0.95

In this part 29.44 minutes represent the 100%

To find out how long  it take to manufacture the piece now, multiply 29.44 minutes by the factor 0.95

29.44(0.95)=28\ min

Which system of linear inequalities is represented by the graph?  ax – 3y > 6 and y > 2x + 4 bx + 3y > 6 and y > 2x 
igor_vitrenko [27]

The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

bx + 3y > 6 and y > 2x + 4

Explanation:

Looking at the second inequality, the y-intercept is 4 and the slope is 2.  This means the graph of the line crosses the y-axis at (0, 4) and the line goes up 2 and over 1.  Since it is greater than, this means the graph is shaded above it.  Comparing this to the graph, the line for the blue part crosses the y-axis at (0, 4) and goes up 2 and over 1.  The graph is also shaded above the line.

For the first inequality, bx+3y > 6, we want to isolate y.  To do this, we subtract bx from each side:

bx+3y-bx > 6-bx

3y > 6-bx

Divide both sides by 3:

3y/3 > 6/3 - bx/3

y > 2 - (b/3)x

This means the line for this will have a y-intercept of 2 and decrease 1 while going over 3.  The orange section does this.  Additionally, since it is greater than, the graph should be shaded above the line.  This one is, so this is the correct answer.

Megan has $15,000 to invest. She is considering two investment options. Option A pays 3.2% simple interest. Option B pays 4.1% i
True [87]

wheee



Compute each option


option A: simple interest


simple interest is easy

A=I+P

A=Final amount

I=interest

P=principal (amount initially put in)


and I=PRT

P=principal

R=rate in decimal

T=time in years


so given

P=15000

R=3.2% or 0.032 in deecimal form

T=10


A=I+P

A=PRT+P

A=(15000)(0.032)(10)+15000

A=4800+15000

A=19800

Simple interst pays $19,800 in 10 years




Option B: compound interest

for interest compounded yearly, the formula is

A=P(1+r)^t

where A=final amount

P=principal

r=rate in decimal form

t=time in years


given

P=15000

r=4.1% or 0.041

t=10


A=15000(1+0.041)^{10}

A=15000(1.041)^{10}

use your calculator

A=22418.0872024

so after 10 years, she will have $22,418.09 in the compounded interest account





in 10 years, the investment in the simple interest account will be worth $19,800 and the investment in the compounded interest account will be worth$22,418.09
