The sales of various types of lawn and garden tools
vary according to the season. At a certain home improvement store, the monthly sales H of
garden hoes (hoes sold per month) declines from July to October whereas the monthly sales of lawn
rakes R (rakes sold per month) increase during this same interval. The sales of these two
items during the calendar months July-October are modeled by the equations:
where
t is the month (t = 7 corresponds to July). In which month does the number of
rakes sold equal the number of hoes sold?
a. | July | b. | November | c. | August | d. | September | e. | October |

An investor has $150,000 to invest in two types of
investments. Type A pays 5% annually and type B pays 6% annually. To have a well-balanced portfolio,

allocated to type A investments and at least one-third of the portfolio is to be allocated to type B
investments. What is the optimal amount that should be invested in each investment?
