The controller​ (money manager) for a small company puts some money in a bank account paying 3​% per year. He uses some addition

al​ money, amounting to one third the amount placed in the​ bank, to buy bonds paying 4​% per year. With the balance of the​ funds, he buys a 10​% certificate of deposit. The first year the investments bring a return of ​$865. If the total of the investments is​ $10,000 how much is invested at each​ rate?

Answer:

$1,500 is invested in a bank account paying 3% per year.
$500 is used to buy bonds paying 4% per year.
$8,000 is used to buy 10% certificate of deposit   

Explanation:

Let 

x = money used to invest in a bank account paying 3% per year
y = money used to buy 10% certificate of deposit

Because the money used to buy bonds (that pays 4% per year) is equal to one-third of the money used to invest in a bank account paying 3% per year,

x/3 = money used to buy bonds (that pays 4% per year)

Because the total investment is $10,000, we add all the variables that represents the amount of money for each investments. So,

x + \frac x 3 + y = 10,000    
\frac {4x} 3 + y = 10,000
4x + 3y = 30,000 \text{  (multiply both sides by 3)}      (1)

To compute the return of each investment, we change the rate to decimal and multiply it to the amount of investment because the problem only states the return of first year of investment. Then,

0.03x = return from a bank account paying 3% per year
0.04(x/3) = return from a bond paying 4% per year
0.1y = return from 10% certificate of deposit

Since the total return for the first year of investment is $865, we just add the returns of each investment and create the following equation:

0.03x + 0.04(\frac x 3) + 0.1y = 865 \\ 0.03x + \frac{0.04x}{3} + 0.1y = 865 \\ 0.09x + 0.04x + 0.3y = 2,595 \text{ (multiply both sides by 3)} \\ 0.13x + 0.3y = 2,595 \\ 1.3x + 3y =25,950 \text{ (multiply both sides by 10) (2)}

Note: In equation (2), we want to have an equation with 3y so that when we subtract equation (1) to equation (2), we only have an equation involving x, which is easier to solve.

By subtracting equation (1) to equation (2),

(4x + 3y) - (1.3x + 3y) = 30,000 - 25,950
2.7x = 4,050
x = $1,500 = amount deposited in a bank account paying 3% per year

So,

x/3 = 1500/3
x/3 = $500 = amount used to buy bonds paying 4% per year

Using the value of x = 1,500 and replacing the value of x in equation (1), 

4x + 3y = 30,000
4(1,500) + 3y = 30,000
6,000 + 3y = 30,000
3y = 24,000
y = $8,000 = money used to buy 10% certificate of deposit

Answer:

B. P VP Jenna Todd Jenna Annie Jenna Luis Todd Luis Todd Annie

Step-by-step explanation:

CHECK THE COMPLETE QUESTION AND OPTIONS BELOW;

Jenna and Todd are running for president of a school club. The candidates for vice president are Todd, Annie, and Luis. Because Todd is running for both positions, he can't be elected vice president if he is elected president. Which list shows all the possible outcomes for president (P) and vice president (VP)? Answer options with 4 options A. P VP Jenna Annie Jenna Luis Todd Annie Todd Luis C. P VP Jenna Todd Jenna Annie Jenna Luis B. P VP Jenna Todd Jenna Annie Jenna Luis Todd Annie Todd Luis D. P VP Jenna Annie Jenna Luis Todd Jenna Todd Annie Todd Luis

From the question, Candidates that are running to be a president are;(Jenna and Todd)

Candidates that are running to become vice president are; (Todd, Annie, and Luis)

✓ Todd can only be elected as president or as vice president, if he is elected as president then he cannot be elected as vice president.

The list that shows all the possible outcome is

1)Vice president: Todd and President: Jenna

2)Vice president: Annie and President: Jenna

3)Vice president: Luiz and President: Jenna

4)Vice president: Annie and President: Todd

5)Vice president: Luiz and President: Todd

Hence, option B gives the correct answer.

What is the oblique asymptote of the function f(x) = the quantity x squared minus 5x plus 6 over the quantity x minus 4?
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that, a slant or oblique asymptote of a rational function is the asymptote that helps in determining the direction of the function.

It occurs when the polynomial in the numerator is a higher degree than the polynomial in the denominator.

Now, we divide the numerator by denominator using long division method and the first two terms in the quotient ( forming a linear function ) is the equation of the oblique asymptote.

We are given the rational function, f(x) = \frac{x^{2}-5x+6}{x-4}.

After dividing we get that, the quotient is x - 1.

Hence, the equation of the oblique asymptote is x-1.

K is the midpoint of PQ, P has
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Coordinates of Q (x_2,y_2) \:are\: \mathbf{(7,16)}

Option D is correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

K is the midpoint of PQ

Coordinates of P = (-9,-4)

Coordinates of K = (-1,6)

We need to find coordinates of Q  (x_2,y_2)

We will use the formula of midpoint: Midpoint=(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})

We are given midpoint K and x_1,y_1 the coordinates of P we need to find x_2,y_2 the coordinates of Q.

Midpoint=(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})\\(-1,6)=(\frac{-9+x_2}{2},\frac{-4+y_2}{2})\\

Now, we can write

-1=\frac{-9+x_2}{2}, 6=\frac{-4+y_2}{2}\\Simplifying:\\-2=-9+x_2\:,\: 12=-4+y_2\\-2+9=x_2\:,\: 12+4=+y_2\\x_2=7\:,\:y_2=16

So, we get coordinates of Q (x_2,y_2) \:are\: \mathbf{(7,16)}

Option D is correct option.
