Answer:   \bold{\dfrac{36}{13}\ hours}

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Worker\ A: 1\ job\ in\ 9\ hours=\dfrac{1}{9}\\\\Worker\ B: 1\ job\ in\ 4\ hours=\dfrac{1}{4}\\\\Total: 1\ job\ in\ x\ hours=\dfrac{1}{x}\\\\\\Worker\ A+Worker\ B = Total\\\\\dfrac{1}{9}+\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{1}{x}\\\\\dfrac{1}{9}(36x)+\dfrac{1}{4}(36x)=\dfrac{1}{x}(36x)\\\\4x + 9x = 36\\\\13x = 36\\\\.\ x=\dfrac{36}{13}\\\\.\quad =2\dfrac{10}{13}\ hours

B) A grocery store sells salmon by the pound. The function C(x) represents the cost, in dollars, of x pounds of salmon. An appropriate domain for the function is positive rational numbers.

C) A ball was thrown into the air with an initial velocity of 65 feet per second. The height of the ball after t seconds is represented by the equation h = 65t − 16t2. An appropriate domain for the function is positive rational numbers.

D) A taxi company charges $2.50 plus $1.75 for each mile driven. A function C(x) shows how much a taxi fare cost. An appropriate domain of C(x) is all whole numbers.

Tasha invests $5000 annually at 6% and an additional $5000 annually at 8%. Thomas invests $10000 annually at 7%. Which statement
REY [17]

Answer:

Answer:

Option B is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We will compare the interest earned by both.

Tasha: p = $5000

r = 6% or 0.06

n = 1

So, Amount after a year will be = = $5300

And amount the next year with p = 5300: 5300*1.06= $5618

Additional $5000 at 8%

Here the amount will be = =5400

Next year amount with p = 5400 : 5400*1.08 = $ 5832

Amount in total Tasha will have in 2 years = 5618+5832 = 11450

Thomas:

p = 10000

r = 7% or 0.07

n = 1

After a year the amount will be = =$10700

Amount Next year with p = 10700 : 10700*1.07 = $11449

*****Just after 1 year we can see that Tasha's total amount is high than Thomas. This means at the same consistent rate, each year Tasha's amount will always be higher than Thomas.

So, option B is correct. Tasha’s investment will yield more over many years because the amount invested at 8% causes the overall total to increase faster.
