The amount he invested in the account that yields 4.5% interest is $7,500.

The amount he invested in the account that yields 2.5% interest is $12,500.

<h3>What is the system of equations that represent the question?</h3>

a + b = $20,000 equation 1

0.045a + 0.025b = $750 equation 2

Where:

a = amount he invested in the account that yields 4.5% interest

b = amount he invested in the account that yields 2.5% interest

<h3>How much was invested in the account that yields 4.5% interest?</h3>

Multiply equation 1 by 0.025

0.025a + 0.025b = 500 equation 3

Subtract equation 3 from 2

250 = 0.02a

a = 12,500

<h3>How much was invested in the account that yields 4.5% interest?</h3>

Subtract 12,500 from 20,000

20,000 - 12,500 = $7,500

Martha Alison and Scott buy 3.8 pounds of clay Martha used 1 /4 of the clay for a sculpture Scott used 2/5 of the remaining amou
Sever21 [200]

They are left with 0.51 pounds of clay.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Amount of clay bought = 3.8 pounds

Amount used by Martha = \frac{1}{4}\ of\ clay

Amount used by Martha = \frac{1}{4}*3.8=0.95\ pounds

Amount left after Martha's use= Total amount - amount used by Martha

Amount left = 3.8 - 0.95 = 2.85 pounds

Amount used by Scott = \frac{2}{5}\ of\ amount\ left

Amount used by Scott = \frac{2}{5}*2.85=\frac{5.70}{5}

Amount used by Scott = 1.14 pounds

Amount left after Scott's use = Amount left after Martha's - Amount used by Scott

Amount left after Scott's use = 2.85 - 1.14 = 1.71 pounds

Amount used by Alison = 1.2 pounds

Amount left = Amount left after Scott's use - Amount used by Alison

Amount left = 1.71 - 1.2 = 0.51 pounds

They are left with 0.51 pounds of clay.

Determine the equation of the graph, and select the correct answer below.
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

The equation of the parabolic function is :

y=(x-1)^2-3

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard equation of a parabola is given by:

y=a(x-h)^2+k

where (h,k) represents the vertex of the parabola.

From the graph shown in figure we can find the vertex of the parabola which is the minimum point of parabola and lies st point (1,-3)

So, we can say:

(h,k)\rightarrow (1,-3)

Plugging in the values of vertex in standard equation of parabola,

y=a(x-1)^2+(-3)

Simplifying the equation:

y=a(x-1)^2-3

We can find value of a by plugging in a point from the graph.

Using point (0,-2) which lies on graph.

Plugging in the given point.

-2=a(0-1)^2-3

-2=a-3

Adding 3 to both sides.

-2+3=a-3+3

1=a

∴ a=1

Plugging in a=1, the equation of parabola can be written as:

y=(x-1)^2-3
