What is the result when the number 28 is decreased by 2.6%?

Answer:

To find the average growth on Alexandra's total investment, we need to calculate the weighted average of the growth in each of the three investments. The weighted average is calculated by multiplying the growth of each investment by its proportion of the total investment and then adding them together.

First, we need to calculate the total amount of money that Alexandra invested. Since he invested 40% in mutual funds, 40% in real estate, and 20% in stocks, we can assume he invested $100.

So the amount invested in mutual funds is 40/100 * $100 = $40

The amount invested in real estate is 40/100 * $100 = $40

The amount invested in stocks is 20/100 * $100 = $20

Then we can calculate the growth of each investment using the percentages provided:

The growth of mutual funds is 2/100 * $40 = $0.80

The growth of real estate is 7/100 * $40 = $2.80

The growth of stocks is 11/100 * $20 = $2.20

Now we can add up the growth of each investment and divide it by the total investment to find the average growth:

($0.80 + $2.80 + $2.20) / $100 = $5.80 / $100 = 0.058 or 5.8%

So the average growth on Alexandra's total investment is 5.8%.

Answer:606.02371

Step-by-step explanation:

The numerical representation of "six hundred six and two thousand, three hundred seventy-one ten-thousandths" is 606.02371.

In a case whereby longer leg of a right triangle is 3cm longer than the shorter leg and hypotenuse is 6cm longer than the shorter leg then the side lengths of the triangle is  9 inches.

The concept that will be used is pythagoras theorem.

We can make s = the length of the shorter leg.

Where the longer leg  can be expressedas  (s + 3),

Then the hypotenuse is( s + 6).

From pythagoras theorem,  a^2 + b^2 = c^2.  

then we have s^2 + (s + 3)^2 = (s + 6)^2

[s^2 + (s + 3)(s + 3)] =[ (s + 6)(s + 6) ]

s^2 + s^2 + 6s + 9 = s^2 + 12s + 36

If we collect like terms we have

s^2 - 6s - 27 = 0

Then if we factorize we have

(x - 9)(x + 3) = 0

then

we can set the whole left side to equal 0.

x - 9 = 0, then  x = 9

x + 3 = 0, then  x = -3.  

But we can only have positive value which sis 9, hence shortest side is 9 inches.

Answer: Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

First You need to find a common denominator between 5/8 and 3/5 so you can add them together.

The earliest common denominator between 8 and 5 is 40.

So you have to Multiply the numerator by whatever it takes the denomintor to reach 40.

So for 8 to reach 40 you have to multiply 8 by 5 so you must also multiple the numerator by 5 giving you 25 so your fraction becomes 25/40.

If you do the same for the other fraction you end with 24/40.

so 25/40 + 24/40 = 49/40 which is greater than 1

Answer: The elimination method is a method for solving a system of equations by eliminating one of the variables. One way to do this is to multiply one equation by a constant and then add or subtract it from the other equation to cancel out one of the variables.

We will start by multiplying the first equation by 3:

2x + 6y = 2 ----> 6x + 18y = 6

Now we will subtract the second equation from the modified first equation:

6x + 18y = 6

(2x + 2y = 2)

4x + 16y = 4

Now we can solve for one of the variables, we will solve for x:

4x = 4

x = 1

Now that we know x = 1, we can substitute this back into one of the original equations, for example the first one:

2x + 6y = 2

2(1) + 6y = 2

6y = 0

y = 0

So the solution to the system of equations is x = 1 and y = 0

Therefore, the solution is (1,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of k for which the equation has imaginary roots is k > ±2.

For a quadratic equation of the form k²x²-8x+4 to have a real double root, the discriminant (b²-4ac) must be equal to zero. For this equation, the discriminant is (-8)² - 4 * k² * 4 = 64 - 16k².

For the discriminant to be equal to zero, 64 - 16k² = 0 and k² = 4. Therefore, the value of k for which the equation has a real double root is k = ±2.

For a quadratic equation of the form k²x²-8x+4 to have two different double roots, the discriminant (b²-4ac) must be greater than zero. For this equation, the discriminant is (-8)² - 4 * k² * 4 = 64 - 16k².

For the discriminant to be greater than zero, 64 - 16k² > 0 and k² < 4. Therefore, the value of k for which the equation has two different double roots is k < ±2.

For a quadratic equation of the form k²x²-8x+4 to have imaginary roots, the discriminant (b²-4ac) must be less than zero. For this equation, the discriminant is (-8)² - 4 * k^2 * 4 = 64 - 16k².

For the discriminant to be less than zero, 64 - 16k² < 0 and k² > 4. Therefore, the value of k for which the equation has imaginary roots is k > ±2.

We can actually think that insurance companies offer uninsured/ underinsured coverage at a cheaper rate than collision coverage because the risk of a claim is typically lower for uninsured/underinsured coverage.

An agreement to provide compensation to another party in the event of a certain loss, damage, or injury is known as insurance, and it is a way to safeguard against financial loss. It is a type of risk management that is mostly applied to protect against the risk of a potential or unforeseen loss.

Collision coverage is for damage to the policyholder's own vehicle, while uninsured/underinsured coverage is for damage caused by another driver who does not have enough insurance to cover the costs of an accident. Since fewer drivers are uninsured or underinsured, the likelihood of a claim being made under that coverage is lower, and thus the cost is less.

The quotient of the expression is 8 × 10² and option C is the correct answer.

The way of representing huge numbers in terms of powers is known as an exponent. Exponent, then, is the number of times a number has been multiplied by itself.

Adding exponents while maintaining the same base is the rule for multiplying like bases.

Exponents should be multiplied while bases are kept constant when bases are raised by a power of two or more.

Division Rule: When dividing like bases, maintain the base constant and deduct the exponent of the denominator from the exponent of the numerator.

Rewrite as fraction:

[tex]\frac{(5.04) (10^{12})}{(6.3)(10^9)}[/tex]

Simplify using exponent rule with same base [tex]\frac{a^n}{a^m} = a^{(n-m)}[/tex]:

The Federal Reserve uses three main tools to conduct monetary policy: Open Market Operations, the Discount Rate, and Interest on Reserves (IOR).

Open Market Operations involve the buying and selling of government securities in the open market, which impacts the money supply and interest rates. The Discount Rate is the interest rate the Federal Reserve charges commercial banks to borrow from it. A lower Discount Rate encourages borrowing, while a higher Discount Rate discourages borrowing. Interest on Reserves (IOR) is the interest rate the Federal Reserve pays commercial banks on their excess reserves. A higher IOR rate encourages banks to keep more of their funds in the form of reserves, while a lower IOR rate encourages banks to lend out more of their funds. The Required Reserve Ratio is also used to affect the money supply, as it determines the amount of reserves banks must keep on hand. An increase in the Required Reserve Ratio reduces the money supply, while a decrease in the Required Reserve Ratio increases the money supply.

When you know the tower's height, you may calculate your distance from it.The tangent of the angle of elevation multiplied by the horizontal distance, or doing the calculation, is all that is required to manually determine the height.

30° vertical angle from A to the tower's summit

50 + x is the horizontal separation between A and the tower's base.

Call h to get the tower's height.

tan 30 = h / (50 + x) => 50 + x = h / tan 30 => x = h / tan 30 - 50 (1)

40° vertical angle from B to the tower's summit

The tower's base is x feet away from B in a horizontal direction.

ratio: x = h / tan40; tan40 = h / tan40 (2)

Consequently, (1) and (2) are equivalent.

Tan40 = Tan30 - 50 =

30 - 40 = 50 h/tan
