Last year Emily invested some money and had gained 8% profit and her friend, Samira invested some money and gained 9% profit. Their total profit on the two investments was $1720. This year they each decided to invest the same amount of money as last year. Emily gained 7% profit this year and Samira gained 6%. If they receive a total profit of $1280, how much money did Emily invest? Answer.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Emily's investment = $8,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Emily's invested amount = x

Let Samira's amount = y

8% of Emily's amount = 8/100 × x = 0.08x

9% of Samira's amount = 9/100 of y = 0.09y

∴ 0.08x + 0.09y = 1720

multiplying through by 100

8x + 9y = 172000 - - - - - (1)

7% of Emily's amount = 0.07x

6% 0f Samira's amount = 0.06y

0.07x + 0.06x = 1280

multiplying through by 100

7x + 6y = 128000 - - - - - - (2)

Next, let us subtract eqn 2 from eqn 1

equation (1) - equation 2

    8x + 9y = 172000

-

    7x + 6y = 128000

=     x + 3y = 44000 - - - - (3)

from eqn (3) x = 44000 - 3y - - - - - (4)

putting this value of x into eqn 1

8x + 9y = 172000

8 (44000 - 3y) + 9y = 172000

352000 - 24y + 9y = 172000

-15y = 172000 - 352000 = -180000

y = 180000 ÷ 15

y = $12,000

finding x using eqn (4)

x = 44000 - 3y

x = 44000 - 3(12000)

x = 44000 - 36000

x = $8,000

∴ Emily's investment = $8,000

A right triangle with the side AB as a length of 35 cm and another side length BC with 12 cm. What is the hypotenuse length of the right triangle?

Answers

The formula to find the hypotenuse is a^2 + b^2 = c^2. Let’s call side AB, “a” and call side BC, “b”. Now “a” = 35 cm and “b” = 12 cm. Using the formula, you square (multiply the number by itself) “a” and “b” then add them together. This would look like 35^2 + 12^2 =c^2. When you do the multiplication it ends up as 1,225 + 144 = c^2. Add 1,225 and 144 together to get 1,369 = c^2. Last step is to square root both sides to get 37 = c. So the hypotenuse of this triangle would be 37.

Answers

Answer:

y would be 67 as well.

Step-by-step explanation:

they are alternate interior angles. hope it helps

In part (a) the missing angle of a triangle is 70 degrees and in part (b) the missing angle is 67 degrees.

What is the triangle?

In terms of geometry, the triangle is a three-sided polygon with three edges and three vertices. The triangle's interior angles add up to 180°.

Part(a)

We have a triangle shown in the picture.

The two lengths of a triangle are equal.

The angle opposite to the sides will be equal.

As we know,

The triangle's interior angles add up to 180°.

180 = 55 + 55 + x

x = 180 - 110

x = 70 degrees

In part (b)

There are two parallel lines shown in the picture.

The angle y will be the same as 67 degrees because two parallel lines are cut by a transversal line.

Thus, in the part (a) the missing angle of a triangle is 70 degrees and in part (b) the missing angle is 67 degrees.

Answer:

b = 5√3 (units)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, use the pythagorean theorem, where a^2+b^2 = c^2, a and b are the legs of the triangle and c is the hypotenuse.

In this case, we are finding the missing leg, and we were given one of the legs and the hypotenuse.

a^2+b^2 = c^2 (pythagorean therorm)

5^2+b^2 = 10^2 (substitute one leg and the hypotenuse)

25+b^2 = 100 (square the numbers)

b^2 = 75 (subtract 25 from both sides)

b = √75

b = √25 * √3 (factor out√75)

b = 5 * √3 (find square root of√25)

b = 5√3

y= -3x + 1 and y= x - 3

Answers

Answer:

x= 1

y= -2

Step-by-step explanation:

equation (1): y= -3x+1

equation (2): y=x-3

solve the system of equations by substitution:

step1: sub ( x-3 ) for y in equation 1:

y = -3x+1

x-3 = -3x+1

step2: simplify the equation to get x:

(add 3 for both sides)

x = -3x+4

(add 3x for both sides)

4x = 4

(divide 4 from both sides)

x = 1

step3: sub the value of x (x=1) in equation 2:

y = x-3

y = 1-3

step4: solve the equation to get y:

y = -2

reflection and translation.

Given:

The different transformation in the options.

To find:

The transformation that would result in the perimeter of a triangle being different from the perimeter of its image.

Solution:

In option 1,

[tex](x,y)\to (y,x)[/tex]

It represents reflection across the line y=x.

In option 2,

[tex](x,y)\to (x,-y)[/tex]

It represents reflection across the x-axis.

In option 3,

[tex](x,y)\to (4x,4y)[/tex]

It represents dilation by scale factor 4 and the center of dilation is at origin.

In option 4,

[tex](x,y)\to (x+2,y-5)[/tex]

It represents translation 2 units right and 5 units down.

We know that the reflection and translation are rigid transformations, It means the size and shape of the figure remains the same after transformation.

So, the perimeter of the figure and its image are same in the case of reflection and translation.

But dilation is not a rigid transformation. In dilation, the figure is similar to its image. So, the perimeter of the figure and its image are different in the case of dilation.

Therefore, the correct option is 3.

Answers

Answer:

Given :  A toy car is placed on the floor. Its movement details are given

To find : Distance covered by Car & graph to be plotted

Solution:

Start from rest

u = 0  at  t = 0

Constant acceleration for 3 sec reaching velocity 4 m/s

V = U +at

=> 4 = 0 +  a(3)

=>a = 4/3  m/s²

Distance here  S = ut + (1/2)at²

S = 0 + (1/2)(4/3)3²

=> S = 6 m

deceleration of 0.5 m/s² for 4 sec

=> v = 4  - (0.5)4

=> v = 2 m/s

Distance here   =  4(4)  - (1/2) (0.5)4²

= 16 - 4

= 12 m

Total Distance = 6 + 12 = 18 m

Total Distance traveled by toy Car = 18 m

Four major candidates ran in the 1824 election, all under the "Democratic-Republican" name. One of the candidates, Andrew Jackson, was already famous. In the 1780s, he earned the right to practice law and served in various offices of the state government, including senator. He earned the nickname "Old Hickory" for his toughness as a general during the War of 1812 and First Seminole War. Jackson supported slavery and "Indian removal." This earned him support from voters in southern and frontier states. The other three candidates were John Quincy Adams of Massachusetts, Henry Clay of Kentucky, and William Crawford of Georgia. U.S. presidents are elected through the Electoral College. The Founding Fathers worried that Americans were to spread out to learn enough about the candidates. Under the Electoral College, Americans cast their ballot for the popular vote, which chooses the electors for each state. The number of electoral votes each state equals the number of representatives and senators combined. The candidates must win an absolute majority of electoral votes to win the election. In 1824, Andrew Jackson won the popular vote, but he did not win it in each state. Jackson and Adams both won many electoral votes. Jackson won the most with 99. However, a candidate needs an absolute majority of electoral votes to win. In 1824, Jackson needed 131 to win. When there is not majority winner, the election goes to the House of Representatives. This has only happened twice in U.S. history. Even though he won the popular vote and many electoral votes, Andrew Jackson lost the presidency in 1824. John Quincy Adams was the Secretary of State currently. Henry Clay was the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Henry Clay, receiving the least, was left out. However, as a leader in the House of Representatives, he had influence over the other members. Clay openly hated Jackson and there were rumors that Clay made a deal with Adams in exchange for his support. The House election declared John Quincy Adams president. Soon, he chose Henry Clay to fill the seat he left vacant, Secretary of State. Jackson was shocked and enraged. Although there was no inquiry of possible wrongdoing, Jackson accused Adams and Clay of making a "corrupt bargain." John Quincy Adams was a disappointment as president. Many of his goals created divisions like federal funds for internal improvement. Some states thought that taking federal funds would force them to follow certain rules. They felt this reduced their rights as independent states. Jackson took advantage of issues like this one to gather more support. More Jackson supporters found their way to seats in Congress. He was as a man of the people and said Adams could never understand the common man's concerns. John Quincy Adams ran against Andrew Jackson in the 1828 election. Personal attacks grew even more vicious, but Andrew Jackson appealed to many. He believed government was for the common man. He believed in strict reading of the law and limited internal improvements. He also believed in states' rights. Andrew Jackson easily won the 1828 election, winning both the popular vote and most electoral votes. Historians note the sectional nature of the voting. Support for Jackson was concentrated in South while Adams' support was mostly in the North. Jackson was so popular because he brought changes to the government. He also wanted to make sure the government was responsible for its actions. Jackson pushed settlement into the frontier. He supported the Indian Removal act. He also defended the spread of slavery. Though his support was heavier in the South, he was determined to keep a unified nation. The rise and presidency of Old Hickory is memorable to Americans today.
