Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = sum of data/sample size

Sum of data = 22 + 18 + 2y+1 + 10 + 20

Sample size = 5

Mean = 15

Substitute

15 = 22 + 18 + 2y+1 + 10 + 20/5

15*5 = 22 + 18 + 2y+1 + 10 + 20

75 = 70+2y+1

2y = 75-71

2y = 4

y = 4/2

y = 2

Hence the value of y is 2

John invested his inheritance of $12000 in 3 different funds part in a money market fund paying 3% interest annually Parton monu

Leokris [45]

Answer:

John invested $2,000 in money-market fund, $3,000 in municipal bonds, and $7,000 in mutual funds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

John invested his inheritance of $12,000 in three different funds: part in a money-market fund paying 3% interest annually; part in municipal bonds paying 4% annually; and the rest in mutual funds paying 7% annually. John invested $4,000 more in mutual funds than he invested in municipal bonds. The total interest earned in one year was $670. How much did he invest in each type of fund?

The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:

Let a, b and c represent the amount invested in money-market fund, municipal bonds and mutual funds respectively. Therefore, the sum of the three principal amounts can be represented as follows:

a + b + c = 12,000 ……………………….. (1)

Since John invested $4,000 more in mutual funds than he invested in municipal bonds, we have:

c = b + 4,000 ……………………………. (2)

The total amount of interest earned from each fund can be represented as follows:

0.03a + 0.04b + 0.07c = 670 ………………. (3)

Substituting equation (2) into equation (1), we have:

a + b + b + 4,000 = 12,000

a + 2b = 12,000 – 4,000

a + 2b = 8,000

a = 8,000 – 2b ……………………….. (4)

Also, substituting equation (2) into equation (3), we have:

0.03a + 0.04b + 0.07(b + 4,000) = 670

0.03a + 0.04b + 0.07b + 280 = 670

0.03a + 0.04b + 0.07b 0 = 670 – 280

0.03a + 0.11b = 390 ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, (5)

Substituting equation (4) into equation (5) and solve for b, we have:

0.03(8,000 – 2b) + 0.11b = 390

240 – 0.06b + 0.11b = 390

240 + 0.05b = 390

0.05b = 390 – 240

0.05b = 150

b = 150 / 0.05

b = 3,000

Substituting b = 3,000 into equation (2), we have:

c = 3,000 + 4,000

c = 7,000

Also, substituting b = 3,000 into equation (4), we have:

a = 8,000 – (2 * 3,000)

a = 8,000 – 6,000

a = 2,000

Therefore, John invested $2,000 in money-market fund, $3,000 in municipal bonds, and $7,000 in mutual funds.

Explain how to get that answer!!

ra1l [238]

We need to simplify $\frac{ \sqrt{14x^3} }{ \sqrt{18x} }$

First lets factor $\sqrt{14x^3}$

$\sqrt{14x^3}$ = $\sqrt{14} \sqrt{x^3}$
$\sqrt{14} = \sqrt{2} \sqrt{7}$ by applying the radical rule $\sqrt[n]{ab} = \sqrt[n]{a} \sqrt[n]{b}$
$\sqrt{x^3} = x^{3/2}$ By applying the radical rule $\sqrt[n]{x^m} = x^{m/n}$

So
$\sqrt{14x^3}$ = $\sqrt{14} \sqrt{x^3}$ = $\sqrt{2} \sqrt{7}x^{3/2}$

Now let's factor $\sqrt{18x}$
By applying the radical rule $\sqrt[n]{ab} = \sqrt[n]{a} \sqrt[n]{b}$ ,
$\sqrt{18x} = \sqrt{18} \sqrt{x}$
$\sqrt{18} = \sqrt{2} * 3$

So $\sqrt{18x}$ = $\sqrt{2}*3 \sqrt{x}$

So $\frac{ \sqrt{14x^3} }{ \sqrt{18x} }$ = $\frac{ \sqrt{2} \sqrt{7} x^{3/2} }{ \sqrt{2}*3 \sqrt{x} }$

We know that $\sqrt[n]{x} = x^{1/n}$ so $\sqrt{x} = x^{1/2}$

We now have $\frac{ \sqrt{2} \sqrt{7} x^{3/2} }{ \sqrt{2}*3 \sqrt{x}} = \frac{ \sqrt{2} \sqrt{7} x^{3/2} }{ \sqrt{2}*3x^{1/2}}$

We know that $\frac{x^a}{x^b} = x^{a-b}$
So $\frac{x^{3/2}}{x^{1/2}} = x^{3/2 - 1/2} = x$

We now got $\frac{ \sqrt{2} \sqrt{7} x^{3/2} }{ \sqrt{2}*3x^{1/2}} = \frac{ \sqrt{2} \sqrt{7} x }{ \sqrt{2}*3}
$

We can notice that the numerator and the denominator both got √2 in a multiplication, so we can simplify them, and we get:
$\frac{ \sqrt{2} \sqrt{7} x }{ \sqrt{2}*3} = \frac{ \sqrt{7}x }{3}$

All in All, we get $\frac{ \sqrt{14x^3} }{ \sqrt{18x} }$ = $\frac{ \sqrt{7}x }{3}$

Hope this helps! :D
