Answer: in the 1% account we have $2600 and in the 6% account we have $2400.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two amounts A and B such that:

Where A is the amount invested in the 1% earning interest account and B is the amount invested in the 6% earning interest account.

A + B = $5000,

If the interest is yearly, then we have that, after one year, the interest is:

A*(1%/100%) + B*(6%/100%) = $170

A*0.01 + B*0.06 = $170

So we have two equations:

A + B = $5000

A*0.01 + B*0.06 = $170

In the first equation we can isolate A and get:

A = $5000 - B

and replace it in the other equation:

($5000 - B)*0.01 + B*0.06 = $170

$50 + B*0.05 = $170

B*0.05 = $120

B = $120/0.05 = $2400

Then A = $5000 - $2400 = $2600.

If e = 9 cm and f = 40 cm, what is the length of g?
rewona [7]

(9,40,41) is a Pythagorean Triple, farther down the list than teachers usually venture.

Answer: D. 41 cm

There's a subset of Pythagorean Triples where the long leg is one less than the hypotenuse,

a^2+b^2 = (b+1)^2

a^2 + b^2 = b^2 + 2b +1

a^2=2b+1

So we get one for every odd number, since the square of an odd number is odd and the square of an even number is even.

b = (a^2 - 1)/2

a=3, b=(3^2-1)/2=4, c=b+1=5

a=5, b=(5^2-1)/2 =12, c = 13

a=7, b=24, c=25

a=9, b=40, c=41

a=11, b=60, c=61

a=13, b=84, c=85

It's good to be able to recognize Pythagorean Triples when we see them.  

Otherwise we'd have to work the calculator:

√(9² + 40²) = √1681 = 41

rectangle abcd is similar to rectangle pqrs. given ab=14 cm, BC=8cm and pq=21cm, calculate the length of QR
weqwewe [10]
QR =12 because you set up a proportion 21/14=x/8 then cross multiply and get 14x=168 then you divide and get 12

Which expression is equivalent to StartFraction 3 x Superscript negative 6 Baseline y Superscript negative 3 Baseline Over 15 x
arsen [322]

Answer:

<h3>The correct expression is 1 Over 5 x Superscript minus 8 Baseline y Superscript minus 13 Baseline EndFraction</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression \frac{3x^{-6}y^{-3} }{15x^{2}y^{10}  }for x ≠ 0, y ≠ 0 to get the equivalent expression we will have to simplify the given expression.

\frac{3x^{-6}y^{-3} }{15x^{2}y^{10}  }\\= \frac{3}{15} x^{-6-2}y^{-3-10}\\ = \frac{3}{15}x^{-8}y^{-13}  \\ =\frac{1}{5}x^{-8}y^{-13}  \\

The correct expression is 1 Over 5 x Superscript minus 8 Baseline y Superscript minus 13 Baseline EndFraction

The graph of g(x)=(1.5)x−2 is shown. Which equation is an asymptote of this function?
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

y=0

Step-by-step explanation:

asymptote formula x=-b/2a

so -(-2)/2(1.5)=2/3

then you replace it for finding the other point

g(2/3)=1.5(2/3)-3=0

y=0
