If a person invested half of her money at 9% and half at 7% and received $160 interest, find the total amount of money invested.

Answers

Answer:

$2000

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the money she invested

lets assume this was for 1 year

0.09(x/2) + 0.07(x/2) = 160

multiply each side by 2 to cancel the denominators:

0.09x + 0.07x = 320

0.16x = 320

x = 2000

Consider the differential equation:


2y'' + ty' − 2y = 14, y(0) = y'(0) = 0.


In some instances, the Laplace transform can be used to solve linear differential equations with variable monomial coefficients.


If F(s) = ℒ{f(t)} and n = 1, 2, 3, . . . ,then

ℒ{tnf(t)} = (-1)^n d^n/ds^n F(s)


to reduce the given differential equation to a linear first-order DE in the transformed function Y(s) = ℒ{y(t)}.


Requried:

a. Sovle the first order DE for Y(s).

b. Find find y(t)= ℒ^-1 {Y(s)}

Answers

(a) Take the Laplace transform of both sides:

[tex]2y''(t)+ty'(t)-2y(t)=14[/tex]

[tex]\implies 2(s^2Y(s)-sy(0)-y'(0))-(Y(s)+sY'(s))-2Y(s)=\dfrac{14}s[/tex]

where the transform of [tex]ty'(t)[/tex] comes from

[tex]L[ty'(t)]=-(L[y'(t)])'=-(sY(s)-y(0))'=-Y(s)-sY'(s)[/tex]

This yields the linear ODE,

[tex]-sY'(s)+(2s^2-3)Y(s)=\dfrac{14}s[/tex]

Divides both sides by [tex]-s[/tex]:

[tex]Y'(s)+\dfrac{3-2s^2}sY(s)=-\dfrac{14}{s^2}[/tex]

Find the integrating factor:

[tex]\displaystyle\int\frac{3-2s^2}s\,\mathrm ds=3\ln|s|-s^2+C[/tex]

Multiply both sides of the ODE by [tex]e^{3\ln|s|-s^2}=s^3e^{-s^2}[/tex]:

[tex]s^3e^{-s^2}Y'(s)+(3s^2-2s^4)e^{-s^2}Y(s)=-14se^{-s^2}[/tex]

The left side condenses into the derivative of a product:

[tex]\left(s^3e^{-s^2}Y(s)\right)'=-14se^{-s^2}[/tex]

Integrate both sides and solve for [tex]Y(s)[/tex]:

[tex]s^3e^{-s^2}Y(s)=7e^{-s^2}+C[/tex]

[tex]Y(s)=\dfrac{7+Ce^{s^2}}{s^3}[/tex]

(b) Taking the inverse transform of both sides gives

[tex]y(t)=\dfrac{7t^2}2+C\,L^{-1}\left[\dfrac{e^{s^2}}{s^3}\right][/tex]

I don't know whether the remaining inverse transform can be resolved, but using the principle of superposition, we know that [tex]\frac{7t^2}2[/tex] is one solution to the original ODE.

[tex]y(t)=\dfrac{7t^2}2\implies y'(t)=7t\implies y''(t)=7[/tex]

Substitute these into the ODE to see everything checks out:

[tex]2\cdot7+t\cdot7t-2\cdot\dfrac{7t^2}2=14[/tex]

If the sides of a square measure 9.3 units the.find the length of the diagonal

Answers

Answer:

Approximately 13.1521 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the diagonal, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem.

Since the figure is a square, all four sides are equivalent. A square also has four right angles. Therefore, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the diagonal d. Therefore:

[tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex]

Substitute 9.3 for a and b, and let c equal d:

[tex](9.3)^2+(9.3)^2=d^2[/tex]

Instead of squaring, add the like-terms:

[tex]2(9.3)^2=d^2[/tex]

Take the square root of both sides:

[tex]d=\sqrt{2(9.3)^2}[/tex]

Expand:

[tex]d=\sqrt{2}\cdot\sqrt{(9.3)^2}[/tex]

The right cancels:

[tex]d=\sqrt2\cdot(9.3)\\d=9.3\sqrt2\\d\approx13.1521\text{ units}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

the work done by the force field = 24 π

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given:

r(t) = 3 cos (t)i + 3 sin (t) j + 2 tk

= xi + yj + zk

x = 3 cos (t)

y =  3 sin (t)

z = 2t

dr = (-3 sin (t)i + 3 cos (t) j + 2 k ) dt

Also F(x,y,z) = 6xi + 6yj + 6k

∴  F(t) = 18 cos (t) i + 18 sin (t) j +6 k

Workdone = 0 to 2π ∫ F(t) dr

Find the surface area of the regular pyramid shown in the accompanying diagram. If necessary, express your answer in simplest radical form.

Answers

Answer:

The area of the pyramid is 360 unit²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Base Edge, a = 10

Height, h = 12

Required

Determine the surface area

The surface area of a regular pyramid is calculated as thus;

[tex]A = a^2 + 2a\sqrt{\frac{a^2}{4} + h^2}[/tex]

Substitute values for a and h

[tex]A = 10^2 + 2 * 10 * \sqrt{\frac{10^2}{4} + 12^2}[/tex]

Evaluate all squares

[tex]A = 100 + 2 * 10 * \sqrt{\frac{100}{4} + 144}[/tex]

[tex]A = 100 + 2 * 10 * \sqrt{25 + 144}[/tex]

[tex]A = 100 + 2 * 10 * \sqrt{169}[/tex]

Take positive square root of 169

[tex]A = 100 + 2 * 10 * 13[/tex]

[tex]A = 100 + 260[/tex]

[tex]A = 360[/tex]

For the given data value, find the standard score and the percentile. A data value 0.6 standard deviations above the mean.

Answers

Answer:

The  standard score  [tex]z = 0.6[/tex]

The  the percentile   [tex]P(z < 0.6 ) = 72.57\%[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   A data value is  0.6 standard deviations above the mean.

The above statement can be mathematically represented as

     [tex]x = 0.6 \sigma + \mu[/tex]

Where [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation and  [tex]\mu[/tex] is the mean

   Generally the standard score is mathematically represented as

            [tex]z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

   =>      [tex]z = \frac{(0.6 \sigma + \mu) - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

   =>     [tex]z = 0.6[/tex]

Now the percentile is obtained from the z-table , the value is  

        [tex]P(z < 0.6 ) = 0.7257[/tex]

=>    [tex]P(z < 0.6 ) = 72.57\%[/tex]

write the equation of a horizontal ellipse with a major axis of 18, and minor axis of 10, and a center at (-4, 5).​

Answers

See the attached picture

[tex]\bold{\text{Answer:}\quad \dfrac{(x+4)^2}{81}+\dfrac{(y-5)^2}{25}=1}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

A "horizontal" ellipse means that the x-radius is bigger than the y-radius.  Thus, x is the major axis and y is the minor axis.

The equation of an ellipse is: [tex]\dfrac{(x-h)^2}{a^2}+\dfrac{(y-k)^2}{b^2}=1[/tex]      where

(h, k) is the center of the ellipsea is the radius on the x-axisb is the radius on the y-axis

It is given that the center is at (-4, 5) --> h = -4, k = 5

It is given that the major axis has a length of 18 --> x-radius = 9

It is given that the minor axis has a length of 10 --> y-radius = 5

Input those values into the equation of an ellipse to get:

[tex]\dfrac{(x-(-4))^2}{9^2}+\dfrac{(y-5)^2}{5^2}=1[/tex]

Simplify to get:

[tex]\dfrac{(x+4)^2}{81}+\dfrac{(y-5)^2}{25}=1[/tex]

Emile is a long-distance trucker. In one week he drives miles from his home in Fort Lauderdale, FL, to Benson, NC. He then drives miles to Barstow, CA, and continues driving miles to Bakersfield, CA. From there, Emile drives miles to Seattle, WA. Estimate the total distance Emile travels by first rounding each distance to the nearest hundred. Do not put units in your answer.

Answers

Answer:

Estimated total distance is 1,900 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We begin by adding each distance traveled by Emile:

1. Fort Lauderdale, FL, to Benson, NC = 748 miles

2. Barstow, CA, to Bakersfield, CA = 130 miles

3. Bakersfield, CA.  to Seattle, WA = 1030 miles

Total miles = 1,908.

Therefore, in one week Emile's total distance to the nearest hundred is 1,900.

Note: the distances where gotten via Google Map.

Point A is at (2, -8) and point C is at (-4, 7).
Find the coordinates of point B on AC such that the ratio of AB to BC is 2:1.

Answers

Answer:

(-2, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Point A is at (2, -8) and point C is at (-4, 7)

Difference of coordinates:

Δx = 2 - (-4) = 6Δy = - 8 - 7 = - 15

The ratio of AB to AC is 2:1. So:

AB = 2*AC/3 and BC = AC/3

Then coordinates of point B should be 2/3 from the point A:

x = 2- 6*2/3 = 2 - 4 = -2y = - 8 - (-15)*2/3 = -8 + 10 = 2

So point B has coordinates of (-2, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

If  the path of the longest shot put by the Women’s track team at Sun Devil U is modeled by h(x) = -0.015x² + 1.08x + 5.8 where x represents the horizontal distance from the start and h(x) is the height of the shot put above the ground, to determine h(24), we will have to substitute x = 24 into the modeled equation as shown;

[tex]h(x) = -0.015x^2 + 1.08x + 5.8\\\\if \ x = 24;\\\\h(24) = -0.015(24)^2 + 1.08(24) + 5.8\\\\h(24) = -0.015(576)+25.92+5.8\\\\h(24) = -8.64+31.72\\\\h(24) = 23.08\\[/tex]

Hence the value of the height at the horizontal distance of 24 feet is 23.08 feet to 2 decimal place.

An urn contains two blue balls (denoted B1 and B2) and three white balls (denoted W1, W2, and W3). One ball is drawn, its color is recorded, and it is replaced in the urn. Then another ball is drawn and its color is recorded.

a. Let B1 W2 denote the outcome that the first ball drawn is B1 and the second ball drawn is W2. Because the first ball is replaced before the second ball is drawn, the outcomes of the experiment are equally likely. List all 25 possible outcomes of the experiment.

b. Consider the event that the first ball that is drawn is blue. List all outcomes in the event. What is the probability of the event?

c. Consider the event that only white balls are drawn. List all outcomes in the event. What is the probability of the event?

Answers

Answer:

(a) Shown below.

(b) The probability that the first ball drawn is blue is 0.40.

(c) The probability that only white balls are drawn is 0.36.

Step-by-step explanation:

The balls in the urn are as follows:

Blue balls: B₁ and B₂

White balls: W₁, W₂ and W₃

It is provided that two balls are drawn from the urn, with replacement, and their color is recorded.

(a)

The possible outcomes of selecting two balls are as follows:

B₁B₁          B₂B₁          W₁B₁          W₂B₁          W₃B₁

B₁B₂         B₂B₂          W₁B₂         W₂B₂          W₃B₂

B₁W₁         B₂W₁         W₁W₁         W₂W₁         W₃W₁

B₁W₂        B₂W₂         W₁W₂        W₂W₂         W₃W₂

B₁W₃        B₂W₃         W₁W₃        W₂W₃         W₃W₃

There are a total of N = 25 possible outcomes.

(b)

The sample space for selecting a blue ball first is:

S = {B₁B₁, B₁B₂, B₁W₁, B₁W₂, B₁W₃, B₂B₁, B₂B₂, B₂W₁, B₂W₂, B₂W₃}

n (S) = 10

Compute the probability that the first ball drawn is blue as follows:

[tex]P(\text{First ball is Blue})=\frac{n(S)}{N}=\frac{10}{25}=0.40[/tex]

Thus, the probability that the first ball drawn is blue is 0.40.

(c)

The sample space for selecting only white balls is:

X = {W₁W₁, W₂W₁, W₃W₁, W₁W₂, W₂W₂, W₃W₂, W₁W₃, W₂W₃, W₃W₃}

n (X) = 9

Compute the probability that only white balls are drawn as follows:

[tex]P(\text{Only White balls})=\frac{n(X)}{N}=\frac{9}{25}=0.36[/tex]

Thus, the probability that only white balls are drawn is 0.36.

Makayla wants to make 200 mL of a 18% saline solution but only has access to 8% and 24% saline mixtures.

Which of the following system of equations correctly describes this situation if x represents the amount of the 8% solution used, and y represents the amount of the 24% solution used?

Answers

Answer:

x + y = 200

0.08x + 0.24y = 0.18(200)

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 200

0.08x + 0.24y = 0.18(200)

The equations which describes the amount of 8% solution used and the amount of 24% solution used are: x+ y=200 and x+3y=450.

What is equation?

An equation is a relationship between two or more variables. They are mostly present in equal to form and are equated to find the value of variables present in them.

How to form equation?

let the amount of 8% solution used be x and the amount of 24% solution used be y.

According to question the amount of total solution will be 200ml, So, the equation will be:

x +y=200

Now we have been said that the solution will be 18% saline and 8% saline mixture and 24% saline mixtures are used, So the next equation will be:

0.08x+ 0.24y=0.18*200

8x/100+24/100=18/100*200

8x+24y=3600

8(x+3y)=3600

x+3y=450

Hence the equations which shows the amount of solutions will be x+y=200 and x+3y=450.

Answers

Answer:

The probability that a particular firm selected has $1 million or more in income after taxes is 49%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a study of 200 computer service firms revealed these incomes after taxes below;

         Income After Taxes                  Number of Firms

           Under $1 million                              102

      $1 million up to $20 million                    61

           $20 million or more                          37      

                 Total                                           200    

Now, the probability that a particular firm selected has $1 million or more in income after taxes is given by;

Total number of firms = 102 + 61 + 37 = 200

Number of firms having $1 million or more in income after taxes = 61 + 37 = 98  {here under $1 million data is not include}

So, the required probability =  [tex]\frac{\text{Firms with \$1 million or more in income after taxes}}{\text{Total number of firms}}[/tex]

                                           =  [tex]\frac{98}{200}[/tex]

                                           =  0.49 or 49%

The probability that a particular firm selected has $1 million or more in income after taxes is 0.49 or 49%.

What is probability?

Probability means possibility. It deals with the occurrence of a random event. The value of probability can only be from 0 to 1. Its basic meaning is something is likely to happen. It is the ratio of the favorable event to the total number of events.

A study of 200 computer service firms revealed these incomes after taxes:

Income After Taxes Number of Firms Under

$1 million 102

$1 million up to $20 million 61

$20 million or more 37.

Then the total event will be

Total event = 102 + 37 +61 = 200

The probability that a particular firm selected has $1 million or more in income after taxes will be

Favorable event = 37 + 61 = 98

Then the probability will be

Hi Mathies, Help with this vectors excercise pls. Givan that OA (segment) = 13x+7y , OB = 5x+12y and CO = -15+12y write down each of the following vectors in its simplest form a) BA = 8x+ 5y (l got it, i ve done it) b) AC= ?? i cant find vector AC thanks in advance

Answers

Answer:

AC = 2x-19y

Step-by-step explanation:

Given vector the following vector equations OA = 13x+7y , OB = 5x+12y and CO = -15x+12y, the following expression is true about vector OA, OB and OC;

OA+OB = CO (CO is the resultant since its is moving in the opposite direction compare to OA and OB)

Also BO+OA = BA and AO+OC = AC

If OB = 5x+12y, then BO = -(5x+12y)

BO = -5x-12y (BO = -OB)

Since BO+OA = BA

BA = -5x-12y + 13x+7y

BA = -5x+13x-12y+7y

BA = 8x-5y

Similarly AO+OC = AC

Since AO = -OA and OC = -CO

-OA-CO  = AC

AC = -(13x+7y)-(-15x+12y)

AC = -13x-7y+15x-12y

AC = -13x+15x-7y-12y

AC = 2x-19y

Kevin made a business trip of 312.5 miles. He averages 60 mph for the first part of the trip and 55 mph for the second part. If the trip took a 5.5 hours how long did he travel at each rate

Answers

Answer:

Kevin travels for 2 hours at 60 mph and 3.5 hours at 55 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that Kevin spends x hours going 60 mph and y hours going 55 mph. We can say that the sum of the two parts is 5.5, so x+y = 5.5 . Next, he goes 60 miles per hour for the first part of the trip, so for each hour he goes 60 mph, he travels 60 miles. We can then denote 60 * x as the distance traveled during the first part of his trip as he goes 60 mph for x hours. Similarly, 55 * y denotes the distance Kevin travels during the second part of his trip. His total distance is thus 60 * x + 55 * y = 312.5 miles

We have

x + y = 5.5

60 * x + 55 * y = 312.5

One way we can solve this is to solve for y in the first equation and plug that into the second. Subtracting x from both sides in the first equation, we get

y = 5.5 - x

Plugging that into the second equation, we get

60 * x + 55 * (5.5-x) = 312.5

60 * x + 55 * 5.5 - 55x = 312.5

5x  +302.5 = 312.5

subtract 302.5 from both sides to isolate the x and its coefficient

5x = 10

divide both sides by 5 to solve for x

x = 2

y = 5.5 - x = 5.5 - 2 = 3.5

Therefore, Kevin travels for 2 hours at 60 mph and 3.5 hours at 55 mph
