Janice invests a total of 8000 in two different accounts. the first account returns 5%, while the second account returns 8%. if the total interest earned after one year is 565, what principal did she invest in each account?

"She invested $2500 in 5% account and $5500 in 8% account"

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount invested in 5% account be "x"

So, the amount invested in 8% account would be "8000 - x"

Interest amount is the percentage multiplied by amount invested. So

Interest of 5% account = 5% of x = 0.05x

Interest of 8% account = 8 % of 8000 - x = 0.08(8000 - x)

Total interest is the sum of these 2 expressions that EQUATES to 565 (given). Let's solve for x:

and thus,

"8000 - x" = 8000 - 2500 = 5500

Hence,

She invested $2500 in 5% account and $5500 in 8% account

option a.

step-by-step explanation:

if you look closely at the graph, we can notice that the function is not defined at two different points.

if you look at functions b and c, you will notice that both functions are not defined at just one point. the function b is not defined at x= -5/2 and function c is not defined at x=-5. both options are discarded, given that our function should not be defined at two fiferent points.

now, if you look closely at the graph you will notice that the function sketched is not defined at x=5 and x=-2.
