Alonzo invested his savings in two investment funds. The amount he invested in Fund A was $2000 less than the amount he invested

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

There were $13,200 in Fund B.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Let x be the amount in Fund A and y be the amount in Fund B.

The amount he invested in Fund A was 2000$ less than the amount he invested in Fund B.

Thus, we can write the equation:

$x = y -2000$

Profit percent on Fund A = 7%

Profit percent on Fund B = 8%

Total profit = $1960

Thus, we can write the equation:

$7\%(x) + 8\%(y) = 1960\\7x + 8y = 196000$

Solving the two equations by substitution, we get,

$7(y-2000) + 8y = 196000\\\Rightarrow 15y = 198000\\\Rightarrow y = 13200\\\Rightarrow x = 11200$

Thus, there were $13,200 in Fund B.

Solve by quadratic equation

<h2>Question :</h2>

$\tt \dfrac{x+2}{x-2} + \dfrac{x-2}{x+2} = \dfrac{5}{6}$

<h2>Answer :</h2>

$\large \underline{\boxed{\bf{x = \dfrac{\pm 2\sqrt{119}}{7}}}}$

<h2>Explanation :</h2>

$\tt : \implies \dfrac{x+2}{x-2} + \dfrac{x-2}{x+2} = \dfrac{5}{6}$

$\tt : \implies \dfrac{(x+2)(x+2) + (x-2)(x-2)}{(x-2)(x+2)} = \dfrac{5}{6}$

$\tt : \implies \dfrac{(x+2)^{2} + (x-2)^{2}}{(x-2)(x+2)} = \dfrac{5}{6}$

<u>Now, we know that</u> :

$\large \underline{\boxed{\bf{(a+b)^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2}+ 2ab}}}$
$\large \underline{\boxed{\bf{(a-b)^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2} - 2ab}}}$
$\large \underline{\boxed{\bf{(a+b)(a-b) = a^{2} - b^{2}}}}$

$\tt : \implies \dfrac{x^{2}+2^{2}+ 2 \times x \times 2 + x^{2}+2^{2} - 2 \times x \times 2 }{x^{2}-2^{2}} = \dfrac{5}{6}$

$\tt : \implies \dfrac{x^{2}+ 4 + \cancel{4x} + x^{2}+ 4 - \cancel{4x}}{x^{2}-4} = \dfrac{5}{6}$

$\tt : \implies \dfrac{x^{2} + x^{2} + 4 + 4}{x^{2}-4} = \dfrac{5}{6}$

$\tt : \implies \dfrac{2x^{2} + 8}{x^{2}-4} = \dfrac{5}{6}$

<u>By cross multiply</u> :

$\tt : \implies (2x^{2} + 8)6= 5(x^{2}-4)$

$\tt : \implies 12x^{2} + 48 = 5x^{2}-20$

$\tt : \implies 12x^{2} + 48 - 5x^{2} + 20 = 0$

$\tt : \implies 7x^{2} + 68 = 0$

$\tt : \implies 7x^{2} + 0x + 68 = 0$

<u>Now, by comparing with ax² + bx + c = 0, we have</u> :

a = 7
b = 0
c = 68

<u>By using quadratic formula</u> :

$\large \underline{\boxed{\bf{x = \dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2} - 4ac}}{2a}}}}$

$\tt : \implies x = \dfrac{-(0) \pm \sqrt{(0)^{2} - 4(7)(68)}}{2(7)}$

$\tt : \implies x = \dfrac{0 \pm \sqrt{0 - 1904}}{14}$

$\tt : \implies x = \dfrac{\pm \sqrt{- 1904}}{14}$

$\tt : \implies x = \dfrac{\pm \sqrt{2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 7\times 17}}{14}$

$\tt : \implies x = \dfrac{\pm \cancel{2} \times 2\sqrt{7\times 17}}{\cancel{14}}$

$\tt : \implies x = \dfrac{\pm2\sqrt{119}}{7}$

$\large \underline{\boxed{\bf{x = \dfrac{\pm 2\sqrt{119}}{7}}}}$

Hence value of $\bf x =\dfrac{\pm 2\sqrt{119}}{7}$

Sin^2(x/2)=sin^2x <br> Find the value of x

Veronika [31]

$\sin^2\dfrac x2=\sin^2x$
$\dfrac{1-\cos x}2=1-\cos^2x$
$1-\cos x=2-2\cos^2x$
$2\cos^2x-\cos x-1=0$
$(2\cos x+1)(\cos x-1)=0$
$\implies\begin{cases}2\cos x+1=0\\\cos x-1=0\end{cases}$ $\implies\begin{cases}\cos x=-\frac12\\\cos x=1\end{cases}$

The first case occurs in $0\le x$ for $x=\dfrac{2\pi}3$ and $x=\dfrac{4\pi}3$ . Extending the domain to account for all real $x$ , we have this happening for $x=\dfrac{2\pi}3+2n\pi$ and $\dfrac{4\pi}3+2n\pi$ , where $n\in\mathbb Z$ .

The second case occurs in $0\le x$ when $x=0$ , and extending to all reals we have $x=2n\pi$ for $n\in\mathbb Z$ , i.e. any even multiple of $\pi$ .
