Building and solving an inequality, it is found that at a volume of sales of $11,875 he will start to earn more from the commission based compensation.

------------------------

We want to find how much in dollars he has to sell such that 8% of this amount is greater than $950.
Supposing he sells $x, 8% of this is represented by 0.08x. We want it to be greater than $950, thus, the inequality is:

$0.08x > 950$

Now we solve the inequality, similarly to how we would solve an equality.

$x > \frac{950}{0.08}$

$x > 11875$

At a volume of sales of $11,875 he will start to earn more from the commission based compensation.

HELP PLEASE

Answer: $x^2=8y$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the given parabolic mirror opens upwards and vertex=(0,0)

Focus point of the parabolic mirror is located 2 inches from the vertex of the mirror. ∴ p=2

Since, the parabola opens upward, then the equation of the parabola is of the form $x^2=4py$

Substitute the value of p=2 in this, we get the equation of the parabolic mirror

$x^2=4(2)y\\\Rightarrow\ x^2=8y$

Hence, the equation of the parabola that models the cross section of the mirror is $x^2=8y$
