Answer: the amount of money invested at the 5% rate is $15000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount of money invested at the rate of 5%.

Let y represent the amount of money invested at the rate of 8%.

Mrs. Mary Moolah invested $20,000 in two different types of bonds. This means that

x + y = 20000

The formula for simple interest is expressed as

I = PRT/100

Where

P represents the principal

R represents interest rate

T represents time

Considering the investment at the rate of 5%,

P = x

R = 5

T = 1

I = (x × 5 × 1)/100 = 0.05x

Considering the investment at the rate of 8%,

P = y

R = 8

T = 1

I = (y × 8 × 1)/100 = 0.08y

If Mrs. Moolah's combined profit from both investments was $1,150, it means that

0.05x + 0.08y = 1150 - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 20000 - y into equation 1, it becomes

0.05(20000 - y) + 0.08y = 1150

1000 - 0.05y + 0.08y = 1150

- 0.05y + 0.08y = 1150 - 1000

0.03y = 150

y = 150/0.03 = 5000

Substituting y = 5000 into x = 20000 - y, it becomes

x = 20000 - 5000

x = 15000

Express the function f(x) =3x^2-6x-18 in the form a(x + h)^2=k, where a, h and k are constants.Hence state the :
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The minimum value of f(x) is -21 and it occurs at x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) =3x^2-6x-18

Factor out the greatest common factor out of the first two terms

f(x) =3(x^2-2x)-18

Complete the square

-2x/2 =-1  (-1)^2 = 1

Add 1  (But remember the 3 out front so we are really adding 3  so we need to subtract 3 to remain balanced)

f(x) = 3(x^2 -2x+1) -3 -18

f(x) = 3(x-1)^2 -21

This is vertex form

f(x) = a(x-h)^2 +k  where (h,k) is the vertex and a is a constant

The vertex is (1,-21)  

Since a > 0 this opens upward and the vertex is a minimum

The minimum value of f(x) is -21 and it occurs at x = 1
