Investing funds of $2100 but put 9% in mutual funds annually and rest in GIC at 10% annually.
At year end, interest from mutual funds was $43 less than interest from GIC.
M+g = 2100 and 0.09m+43=0.10g

Throws basketball from balcony. Trajectory is ℎ =− (𝑡 − 2) + 16 and h is height and t is time
Height of ball when thrown is t = 0
Max height in sec is vertex but x is the time it took and y is the height
What time does ball reach 15m is make h = 15

Sum of 3 times a number and twice the 2nd number is 44. Twice the 1st number less 4 times
the 2nd number is -24. Find the 2 numbers.
3𝑥 + 2𝑦 = 44
2𝑥 − 4𝑦 =− 24
---------------------------------------
Perimeter of yard = 64. Twice the width is 4ft more than the length. Find dimensions
𝑃 = 𝑙 + 𝑙 + 𝑤 + 𝑤 → 64 = 2𝑙 + 2𝑤
2𝑤 = 𝑙 + 4 → 𝑙 = 2𝑤 − 4
Sub 1st one into 2nd to find dimensions

Store sells 90 jackets for $200 each. Every $10 decrease means 5 more jackets are sold. Find
jackets sold and selling price that generates $17600 in revenue.
17600 = (200-10x) (90+5x) → find roots, reject one, plug in x to the equation

Triangle area is 308 𝑐𝑚 . Base is 2 cm more than three times the height of the triangle, find
base and height.
𝑏ℎ (3ℎ+2)ℎ
A= 2
→ 308 = 2
→ x2 to get rid of denominator → find the abc and use quad form.
Reject one and then find them.
Break even = set equation to 0 and find two roots, which are your two answers.

Find 2 numbers whose diff is 12 and product is min
𝑦 = 𝑥(12 − 𝑥) and then solve with perfect square thing
---------------------------------------
2 numbers have a sum of 20. Determine lowest possible sum of their squares.
2 2
𝑦 = 𝑥 + (20 − 𝑥) then perfect square then V(x,y) and x is number and y is sum square

Rectangular field is enclosed by 600m. Determine max area that can be enclosed and find
dimensions of field.
600 2(𝑙+𝑤)

→ find l using this way → A=lw → sub in → use perfect square then find vertex
where x is width and length and y is area.

2 neighbours share fence, houses act as one side. Total 600m. Find max area and dimensions
of each backyard.

𝑃 = 3𝑙 + 2𝑤 and 𝐴 = 𝑙𝑤 → sub in w and get − 2
𝑙 + 300𝑙 → − 2
(𝑙 − 200𝑙) → then use
perfect square, find vertex V(x,y), then sub in x for length, then find W. Then y = area and u
have l and w.
