Answer:

Hi, there--

THE PROBLEM:

We invested $10,000 in 2 bank accounts. One account earns 14% per year the other earns 8%

per year. How much did we invest into each account if after the first year, the combined

interest from the 2 accounts is $1238?

A SOLUTION:

Define Variables:

Let x be the amount you originally invested in the first account.

Let y be the amount you originally invested in the second account.

Write Expressions and Equations:

Since you invested a total of $10,00 in two accounts. An equation that represents this is

x + y = 10000

One account (say the first one) earns 14% per year. Recall that the decimal form of 14% is

0.14. An expression for the amount of interest you earn after the first year in this account is

0.14x.

The other account earns 8% per year. The decimal representation of 8% is 0.08. The amount

of interest you earn after one year in this account is 0.08y.

The combine interest from both account after one year is $1238. An equation representing

the total interest earned is

0.14x + 0.08y = 1238

Now we have a system of two equations with two variables. We can solve for x and y. Rewrite

the first equation in "y=" form.

x + y = 10000

y = 10000 - x

Substitute 10000-x for y in the second equation.

0.14x + 0.08y = 1238

0.14x + 0.08(10000 - x) = 1238

Solve this equation for x. Use the Distributive Property to clear parentheses.

0.14x + 800 - 0.08x = 1238

Combine like terms (0.14x-0.08x is 0.06x).

0.06x + 800 = 1238

Subtract 800 to both sides to isolate x on the left.

0.06x = 1238 - 800

0.06x = 438

Divide both sides of the equation by 0.06.

x = 438/0.06

x = 7300

In the context of this problem, x=7300 means that you invested $7300 in the first account.

Since you invested a total of $10000, you invested 10000-7300=$2700 in the second account.

Check your work by verifying that these amounts will yield the correct amount of interest.

Substitute 7300 for x and 2700 for y in the interest equation.

0.14x + 0.08y = 1238

0.14(7300) + 0.08(2700) = 1238

1022 + 216 = 1238

1238 = 1238

Check!

Hope this helps! Feel free to email if you have any questions about the

Determine the truth value of each of these statements if thedomainofeachvariableconsistsofallrealnumbers.
hoa [83]

Answer:

a)TRUE

b)FALSE

c)TRUE

d)FALSE

e)TRUE

f)TRUE

g)TRUE

h)FALSE

i)FALSE

j)TRUE

Step-by-step explanation:

a) For every x there is y such that  x^2=y:

 TRUE

This statement is true, because for every real number there is a square         number of that number, and that square number is also a real number. For example, if we take 6.5, there is a square of that number and it equals 39.0625.

b) For every x there is y such that  x=y^2:

 FALSE

For example, if x = -1, there is no such real number so that its square equals -1.

c) There is x for every y such that xy = 0

 TRUE

If we put x = 0, then for every y it will be xy=0*y=0

d)There are x and y such that x+y\neq y+x

 FALSE

There are no such numbers. If we rewrite the equation we obtain an incorrect statement:

                                   x+y \neq y+x\\x+y - y-y\neq 0\\0\neq 0

e)For every x, if   x \neq 0  there is y such that xy=1:

 TRUE

The statement is true. If we have a number x, then multiplying x with 1/x (Since x is not equal to 0 we can do this for ever real number) gives 1 as a result.

f)There is x for every y such that if y\neq 0 then xy=1.

TRUE

The statement is equivalent to the statement in e)

g)For every x there is y such that x+y = 1

TRUE

The statement says that for every real number x there is a real number y such that x+y = 1, i.e. y = 1-x

So, the statement says that for every real umber there is a real number that is equal to 1-that number

h) There are x and y such that

                                  x+2y = 2\\2x+4y = 5

We have to solve this system of equations.

From the first equation it yields x=2-2y and inserting that into the second equation we have:

                                   2(2-2y)+4y=5\\4-4y+4y=5\\4=5

Which is obviously false statement, so there are no such x and y that satisfy the equations.

FALSE

i)For every x there is y such that

                                     x+y=2\\2x-y=1

We have to solve this system of equations.

From the first equation it yields x=2-y  and inserting that into the second equation we obtain:

                                        2(2-y)-y=1\\4-2y-y=1\\4-3y=1\\-3y=1-4\\-3y=-3\\y=1

Inserting that back to the first equation we obtain

                                            x=2-1\\x=1

So, there is an unique solution to this equations:

x=1 and y=1

The statement is FALSE, because only for x=1 (and not for every x) exists y (y=1) such that

                                         x+y=2\\2x-y=1

j)For every x and y there is a z such that

                                      z=\frac{x+y}{2}

TRUE

The statament is true for all real numbers, we can always find such z. z is a number that is halway from x and from y.

You are right: the graph does not represent a proportion, because it does not go thru the origin.
