He makes about 30 sales because he makes $100 typically but always makes a minimum of $25 making $75 worth of his sales. If you multiply 30 and $2.50 you get $75 in sales. His $25 minimum and $75 in sales make $100. So he makes 30 sales.
Answer:
x = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
10x + 5 = -5
- 5 -5
10x = -10
10 / -10 = -1
Answer: see description
Step-by-step explanation:
given the function 
we calculate the gradient 
for each term we consider all variables different to the one we are derivating as constants. For each term we have

Therefore:

gives the direction of maxium increase.
a) with x = -2, y= 1
which magnitude is 
so the unitary vector in the direction of the steepest ascent is

and the unitary vector in the direction of steepest descent is

finally, the vector in no change direction is basically doing one of the following possibilities with
:
if we have a vector <a,b> the perpendicular vector (direction of no change) will be either <-a,b> or <a,-b>
so i will select <-a,b>
