Jenny thinks that the expression below is equal to x²-4. If you agree, show that she is correct. If you disagree, show that she

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

Jenny is wrong the correct answer is x²+ 4 - 4 x.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

(x-2)³∕x-2

(x-2)³∕(x-2) =(x-2) (x-2)²∕(x-2)

(x-2)³∕(x-2) = (x-2)²

As we know that

(a-b)² = a²+b² - 2 ab

(x-2)² = x²+ 2² - 2 ˣ 2 ˣ x = x²+ 4 - 4 x

(x-2)² = x²+ 4 - 4 x

It means that

(x-2)³∕(x-2) = (x-2)² = x²+ 4 - 4 x

So Jenny is wrong the correct answer is x²+ 4 - 4 x.

An investor invested a total of $2,800 in two mutual funds. One fund earned 5% profit while the other earned 3% profit. If the i

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

The amount invested in the mutual fund that earned 5% was $1,000

The amount invested in the mutual fund that earned 3% was $1,800

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the amount invested in the mutual fund that earned 5%

y ----> the amount invested in the mutual fund that earned 3%

we know that

$x+y=2,800$ ----> $y=2,800-x$ ----> equation A

$5\%=5/100=0.05$

$3\%=3/100=0.03$

$0.05x+0.03y=104$ ----> equation B

Solve the system by substitution

substitute equation A in equation B

$0.05x+0.03(2,800-x)=104$

Solve for x

$0.05x+84-0.03x=104$

$0.05x-0.03x=104-84$

$0.02x=20$

$x=\$1,000$

<em>Find the value of y</em>

$y=2,800-x$

$y=2,800-1,000=\$1,800$

therefore

The amount invested in the mutual fund that earned 5% was $1,000 and the amount invested in the mutual fund that earned 3% was $1,800
