0.015x+0.03(12000-x)=300
Solve for x
X=4000 at 1.5%

12000-4000=8000 at 3%

Answer: The system of equations is,

0.15x+0.03y=300

x+y=12000

Step-by-step explanation:

For first account,

Investment = x,

Annual rate of interest = 1.5 %

Time = 1 year

Thus, the total interest by one account,

I_1=\frac{x\times 1.5\times 1}{100}=0.015x

Now, for second account,

Investment = y

Annual rate of interest = 1.5%

Time = 1,

Hence, the interest by the second account,

I_2=\frac{y\times 3\times 1}{100}=0.03y

Thus, the total interest,

I=I_1+I_2=0.015 x + 0.03y

According to the question,

I=300

\implies 0.15x+0.03y = 300

Now,  total investment = 12000,

⇒ x + y = 12000

Hence, the required system of equations, to solve for how much money Leroy invested in the two accounts is,

0.015x+0.03y= 300,

x+y=12000

Answer:

620.14

Step-by-step explanation:

Original Equation:

\frac{4y}{1.025^4}+y-2y(1.05)^2=1500

Calculate exponents

\frac{4y}{1.103812890625}+y-2y(1.1025)=1500\\

Simplify:

3.6238025791990193084270042653997y + y - 2.205y = 1500

Add like terms

2.4188025791990193084270042653997y \approx 1500

Divide both sides by 7.012

y\approx 213.91y\approx620.14

What is the directrix of the parabola defined by 1/4(y+3)=(x-2)^2
Charra [1.4K]
This is a parabola which opens upwards and the directrix will be of the form  
y = k

the general form is 

4p(y - k) = (x - h)^2   we have:-

1/4(y + 3) = (x - 2)^2

so the vertex is at (2, -3)

4p = 1/4  so p =  1/16

so the focus will be at (2 , -2 15/16)

and directrix is  y = -3 1/16

The fuel efficiency (mpg rating) for cars has been increasing steadily since 1980. The formula for a car's fuel efficiency for a
Lisa [10]

Answer:

a) In the interval of [1980,1983].

b) In the interval of [1991, 1996].

Step-by-step explanation:

Fuel efficiency:

The fuel efficiency, for the cars, in x years after 1980, is given by:

E(x) = 0.36x + 15.9

15.9 is the fuel efficiency in 1980.

a. In what years was the average fuel efficiency for cars less than 17 mpg (in interval form)?

From 1980 to:

E(x) < 17

0.36x + 15.9 < 17

0.36x < 1.1

x < \frac{1.1}{0.36}

x < 3.06

3.06 = 1980 + 3 = 1983. So

In the interval of [1980,1983].

b. In what years was the average fuel efficiency for cars more than 20 mpg (in interval form)?

From x until 1996.

E(x) > 20

0.36x + 15.9 > 20

0.36x > 4.1

x > \frac{4.1}{0.36}

x > 11.38

11.38 = 1980 + 11 = 1991. So

In the interval of [1991, 1996].
