Answer:
Option (2).
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given in the question,
ΔLMN is a right triangle with base LM = 3a units
Hypotenuse MN = 5a
By applying Pythagoras theorem in ΔLMN,
MN² = LM² + NM²
(5a)² = (3a)² + MN²
25a² - 9a² = MN²
MN = √16a²
MN = 4a
Therefore, vertices of the triangle will be L(0, 0), M(3a, 0) and N(0, 4a).
Option (2) will be the answer.
I would suggest factoring using the grouping method. The answer I got was (2n-1)(n+2)
AWNSER: B or 54
Hope this helps and Happy Friday!
The answer can be readily calculated using a single variable, x:
Let x = the amount being invested at an annual rate of 10%
Let (8000 - x) = the amount being invested at an annual rate of 12%
The problem is then stated as:
(x * 0.10) + ((8000 - x) * 0.12) = 900
0.10(x) + ((8000 * 0.12) - 0.12(x)) = 900
0.10(x) + 960 - 0.12(x) = 900
0.10(x) - 0.12(x) = 900 - 960
-0.02(x) = -60
-0.02(x) * -100/2 = -60 * -100/2
x = 6000 / 2
x = 3000
Thus, $3,000 is invested at 10% = $300 annually; and $8,000 - $3,000 = $5,000 invested at 12% = $600 annually, which sum to $900 annual investment.
300 x 0.02 x 5 = 30
