Tyrone had $17,000 to invest. He invested part of that amount at 2.5% annual interest for one year and the other part at 6.5% an

nual interest for one year. The amount of interest earned for both investments was $550. Let x represent the amount of money invested in the first account and y represent the amount of money invested in the second account. Which system of equations best represents the situation?

Answer:

The system of equations best represents the situation

x + y = 17,000.... Equation 1

0.025x + 0.065y = 550... Equation 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x represent the amount of money invested in the first account and

y represent the amount of money invested in the second account.

We are told that:

Tyrone had $17,000 to invest.

Hence,

x + y = $17,000

x + y = 17,000..... Equation 1

We also known that:

He invested part of that amount at 2.5% annual interest for one year and the other part at 6.5% annual interest for one year. The amount of interest earned for both investments was $550

The formula for Interest =

Principal(Amount invested) × Rate × Time.

Hence:

25% × x + 6.5% × y = 550

0.025x + 0.065y = 550... Equation 2

The system of equations best represents the situation

x + y = 17,000.... Equation 1

0.025x + 0.065y = 550... Equation 2

What type of triangle is formed by joining the points D(7, 3), E(8, 1), and
KiRa [710]

D(7, 3), E(8, 1), and  F(4, -1)

We calculate the squared distances between the points:

DE^2 = 1^2 + 2^2 = 5

EF^2=4^2+2^2=20

DF^2=3^2+4^2=25

Since DF^2=DE^2+EF^2 we have a right triangle with hypotenuse DF.

Which of the following is equivalent to x^-1/2<br><br>1) -1/2x <br>2) -√x<br>3) 1/√x<br>4) -1/2x
irina [24]

Answer:

Option (3) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the expression that is equivalent to x^{-1/2}.

The property is : x^{-a}=\dfrac{1}{x^a}

Here, a = 1/2

So,

x^{-1/2}=\dfrac{1}{x^{1/2}}

We know that, x^{1/2}=\sqrt{x}

\dfrac{1}{x^{1/2}}=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{x} }

So, x^{-1/2} is equivalent to \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{x} }

Hence, the correct option is (3).
