Answer: the amount invested at 8% is $16500

the amount invested at 9.5% is $20500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount invested at 8%.

Let y represent the amount invested at 9.5%.

A women invests 37,000, part at 8% and the rest at 91/2 annual interest. It means that

x + y = 37000

The formula for simple interest is expressed as

I = PRT/100

Where

P represents the principal

R represents interest rate

T represents time in years

I = interest after t years

Considering the 8% investment,

T =1 year

P = $x

R = 8%

Therefore

I = (x × 8 × 1)/100

I = 0.08x

Considering the 9.5% investment,

T =1 year

P = $y

R = 9.5%

Therefore

I = (y × 9.5 × 1)/100

I = 0.095y

If the 91/2% investment provides 627.50 more income than the 8% investment, it means that

0.095x - 0.08x = 627.5 - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 37000 - y into equation 1, it becomes

0.095y - 0.08(37000 - y) = 627.5

0.095y - 2960 + 0.08y = 627.5

0.095y + 0.08y = 627.5 + 2960

0.175y = 3587.5

y = 3587.5/0.175

y = 20500

x = 37000 - y = 37000 - 20500

x = 16500

Find 2 numbers a and b such that (a-b)^2 < (a+b)(a-b)< (a+b)^2 Find two numbes a and b such that this is not true
Svet_ta [14]

Suppose for the moment that the inequality holds for all a,b:

(a-b)^2

Expanding everything gives

a^2-2ab+b^2

\implies-ab

In particular, the inequality says that -ab for any choice of a,b. But if a and b>0, then -ab>0 while ab.

So one possible choice of a,b could be a=-1 and b=1. Then we get

(-1-1)^2=4

(-1+1)(-1-1)=2

(-1+1)^2=0

but clearly it's not true that 4.
