Answer:

9% fund: $ 210,000

13% fund: $70,000

Step-by-step explanation:

As she wants to have a $28,000 annual return for her $280,000 investment, she is expecting a return rate of 10%:

r=\dfrac{R}{C}=\dfrac{28,000}{280,000}=0.10

If we call x the proportion of the capital in the 9% fund, then (1-x) is the proportion of the capital in the 13% fund,and the return of the combination has to be the expected return of 10%:

0.09x+0.13(1-x)=0.10\\\\0.09x+0.13-0.13x=0.10\\\\-0.04x=0.10-0.13=-0.03\\\\x=\dfrac{0.03}{0.04}=0.75

Then, we know that 75% of the capital should be invested in the 9% fund and 25% in the 13% fund.

This correspond to a capital of:

9% fund: 0.75*$280,000 = $ 210,000

13% fund: 0.25*$280,000 = $70,000

4x^2-16x-5 can be written in vertex form f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k.<br> What are the values of a,h, and k.
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

h=2

a=4

k= -21

Step-by-step explanation:

your h and k are vertex . h= x coordinate of vertex and k= y

so formula for vertex coordinates is x= -b/2a and y= (4ac-b²)/4a

your a b c are 4 -16 and -5 respectively according to the main equation

your a is concavity which is the same number as the 'a' of the equation
