Answer 114576 by checkley77(12569) on 2008-09-07 19:06:49 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!2x^2-6x+2
Using the quadratic equatio:  we get:
x=(6+-sqrt[-6^2-4*2*2])/2*2
x=(6+-sqrt[36-16])/4
x=(6+-sqrt20}/4
x=(6+-4.472)/4
x=(6+4.472)/4
x=10.472/4
x=2.618 Answer.
x=(6-4.472)/4
x=1.528/4
x=.382 Answer.

Answer 114557 by checkley77(12569) on 2008-09-07 18:28:24 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!.15x+.07(50,000-x)=6,000
.15x+3,500-.07x=6,000
.08x=6,000-3,500
.08x=2,500
x=2,500/.08
x=$31,250 Should be invested @ 15%
50,000-31,250=$18,750 Should be invested @ 7%.
Proof:
.15*31,250+.07*18,750=6,000
4.687.50+1,312.50=6,000
6,000=6,000

Answer 114507 by checkley77(12569) on 2008-09-07 11:03:05 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!3700/5=s-j
9280/8=s+j
-----------------
3700/5+9280/8=2s
(8*3700+5*9280)/40=2s
40*2s=29,600+46,400
80s=76,000
s=76,000/80
s=950 km/h is the speed of the jet.
3700/5=950-j
740-950=-j
j=210 speed of the jet stream.
proof:
9280/8=950+210
1160=1160
