Answer:

  • $85,000 at 6.25%
  • $65,000 at 6.00%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount invested at 6.25%. Then the total interest earned is ...

  0.0625x + 0.0600(150,000 -x) = 9212.50

  0.0025x = 212.50 . . . . . . subtract 9000, collect terms

  x = 212.50/0.0025 = 85,000

  150,000 - 85,000 = 65,000 . . . . amount invested at the lower rate

$85,000 is invested at 6.25%; $65,000 is invested at 6%.

Two angles are supplementary to each other. If the first angle measures 58 then which of the following could be the measure of t
34kurt

Answer: 122°

Step-by-step explanation:

When an angle is supplementary to each other , it means the angle measures to 180°.

Now since one of the two angles is 58°, therefore, the other angle will be

180° - 58°

= 122°

Use the diagram and given information to answer the questions and prove the statement.
Greeley [361]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

<u> ASA Postulate (Angle-Side-Angle):</u>

If two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Consider triangles XYB and ZYA. In these triangles

  • ∠X≅∠Z (given)
  • XY≅ZY (given)
  • ∠Y is common angle

By ASA Postulate, triangles XYB and ZYA are congruent. Congruent triangles have congruent corresponding sides, so

Find sin theta if cot theta = -2 and cos theta &lt; 0
Katarina [22]

cot(<em>θ</em>) = cos(<em>θ</em>)/sin(<em>θ</em>)

So if both cot(<em>θ</em>) and cos(<em>θ</em>) are negative, that means sin(<em>θ</em>) must be positive.

Recall that

cot²(<em>θ</em>) + 1 = csc²(<em>θ</em>) = 1/sin²(<em>θ</em>)

so that

sin²(<em>θ</em>) = 1/(cot²(<em>θ</em>) + 1)

sin(<em>θ</em>) = 1 / √(cot²(<em>θ</em>) + 1)

Plug in cot(<em>θ</em>) = -2 and solve for sin(<em>θ</em>) :

sin(<em>θ</em>) = 1 / √((-2)² + 1)

sin(<em>θ</em>) = 1/√(5)

A store is having a sale on trail mix and jelly beans. For 7 pounds of trail mix and 9 pounds of jelly beans, the total cost is
Vlad [161]

Answer:

The cost for each pound of trail mix is $ 1.75 and each pound of jelly beans is $ 2.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let each pound of trail mix cost x dollars and each pound of jelly beans cost y dollars.

Given:

7 pounds of trail mix and 9 pounds of jelly beans cost $ 37.

So, 7x+9y=37--------------- 1

Also, 5 pounds of trail mix and 3 pounds of jelly beans cost $ 17.

So, 5x +3y=17--------------- 2

Multiplying equation 2 by -3, we get

(5x +3y=17)\times -3\\-15x-9y=-51-------- 3

Now, adding equations 1 and 3, we get

7x+9y-15x-9y=37-51\\7x-15x=-14\\-8x=-14\\x=\frac{-14}{-8}=\$1.75

Now, plug in x=1.75 in equation 1 and solve for y.

7(1.75)+9y=37\\12.25+9y=37\\9y=37-12.25\\9y=24.75\\y=\frac{24.75}{9}\\ y=\$2.75

Therefore, the cost for each pound of trail mix is $ 1.75 and each pound of jelly beans is $ 2.75.
