Answer:

$10000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Molly invested $50,000 in various stocks and bonds.

She earned 15% on bonds and 18% on stocks

Let the bonds be denoted by a

However, her profit on both types of investment is said to be $8700

We are to find how much of the $50,000 did she invest in bonds.

i.e

0.15a + 0.18(50000-a)  = 8700

open brackets

0.15a + 9000 - 0.18a = 8700

Collect like terms

0.15a - 0.18a = 8700 - 9000

-0.03a  = -300

Divide both sides by(-0.03); we get

a = 10000

Thus, Molly invested $10000 in the bonds.

Geometry Question find the area of the circle to the nearest hundredth.
Nana76 [90]

Formula for the area of a circle: A = πr²

π is approximately 3.14

Solve for the area:

A = (3.14)(8.6)²

A = (3.14)(73.96) or 73.96π

A = 232.2344

Round to the nearest hundredth:

232.2344 → 232.23

Therefore, the area of the circle is 232.23cm² or 73.96π cm²

Best of Luck!

What is the equation of this line? y=12x−3 y=−12x−3 y=−2x−3 y=2x−3 Number graph ranging from negative 5 to 5 on both the x and y
Tems11 [23]

We are given that

A line passes through two  points as

(0,-3)  and (4,-1)

(x_1,y_1)=(0,-3)

x_1=0,y_1=-3

(x_2,y_2)=(4,-1)

x_2=4,y_2=-1

Firstly, we can find slope

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

now, we can plug values

m=\frac{-1+3}{4-0}

m=\frac{2}{4}

m=\frac{1}{2}

now, we can use point  slope form of line

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

we can plug values

y+3=\frac{1}{2} (x-0)

y+3=\frac{1}{2}x

y=\frac{1}{2}x-3

so, the equation of line is

y=\frac{1}{2}x-3...............Answer

The tensile strength of silicone rubber is thought to be a function of curing temperature. A study was carried out in which samp
lianna [129]

Answer:

Sample mean tensile strength for 20°C \bar X_{20} =2.11Mp

Sample mean tensile strength for 45°C \bar X_{45} =2.235Mp

Step-by-step explanation:

A dot plot for combined data allows comparison between the responses of an experiment to two or more independent factors. In this case there are 12 experimental observations of tensile strength on silicone rubber for two levels of the curing temperature factor (30°C and 45°C)

The sample mean can be calculated by:

\bar X_{20} = \frac{1}{n}\sum{x_i}=2.11Mp

\bar X_{45} = \frac{1}{n}\sum{x_i}=2.235Mp

The dot plot can be observed in the attached file.

Triangle J K L is shown. Angle J K L is a right angle. An altitude is drawn from point K to point M on side J L, forming a right
vredina [299]

Answer:

1, 4, 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider right triangle JKL with right angle JKL and height KM. This height divides triangle into two right triangles KML and KMJ.

Note that

m\angle MKL=90^{\circ}-m\angle MLK=m\angle KJM\\ \\m\angle JKM=90^{\circ}-m\angle KJM=m\angle MLK

So, by AA theorem, we have three similar triangles

\triangle JKL\sim \triangle JMK\sim \triangle KML

So, options 1, 4 and 5 are true
