Imogene invested $8,000 in a bank account that pays 8 percent simple interest at the end of each year. her friend invested the same amount in stocks where the growth of the investment is represented as 2,000 times the square root of 2 less than the time lapsed in years. if y1 and y2 represent the amount earned in dollars and t is the time lapsed in years, which system of equations correctly represents the situation?

Which of the following equations is of the parabola whose vertex is at (2, 3), axis of symmetry parallel to the y-axis and p = 4? a.)y-3 = 1/16 (x-2)^2 b.)y+3 = -1/16 (x+2)^2 c.)x-2 = 1/16 (y-3)^2

Afactory makes propeller drive shafts for ships. a quality assurance engineer at the factory needs to estimate the true mean length of the shafts. she randomly selects four drive shafts made at the factory, measures their lengths, and finds their sample mean to be 1000 mm. the lengths are known to follow a normal distribution whose standard deviation is 2 mm. calculate a 95% confidence interval for the true mean length of the shafts. input your answers for the margin of error, lower bound, and upper bound.
