For an amount of sales of $5,000, the two salary choice will be equal

Let the amount of sales be $x

The 3% she will receive will be;

\frac{3}{100}\times x\text{ = 0.03x}

We add this to the base salary and equate to the former monthy salary

We have this as;

\begin{gathered} 1750\text{ =1600 + 0.03x} \\ 1750-1600\text{ = 0.03x} \\ 150\text{ = 0.03x} \\ x\text{ = }\frac{150}{0.03} \\ x\text{ = \$5000} \end{gathered}

Martina is currently 14 years older than her cousin Joey. In 5 years she will be 3 times as old as Joey. Use this information to
Komok [63]
<span>1. Martina is given to be 14 years older than Joey who is x years old. Hence, the age of Martina can be expressed as, x + 14
 2. If Joey's current age is x then in 5 years he will become x+5 years old.
 3. Martina's age will be her current age added with 5 making it, x+14+5 or x + 19.
4. The equation that would best represent the given scenario in this item is: x + 19 = 3(x + 5)
 5. From the given above, the value of x is equal to 2. This is Joey's current age.
 6. The current age of Martina is x + 14 which is equal to 16.</span>

Suppose that we don't have a formula for g(x) but we know that g(3) = −1 and g'(x) = x2 + 7 for all x.
Sliva [168]

Answer:

  • g(2.95) ≈ -1.8; g(3.05) ≈ -0.2
  • A) tangents are increasing in slope, so the tangent is below the curve, and estimates are too small.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The linear approximation of g(x) at x=b will be ...

  g(x) ≈ g'(b)(x -b) +g(b)

Using the given relations, this is ...

  g'(3) = 3² +7 = 16

  g(x) ≈ 16(x -3) -1

Then the points of interest are ...

  g(2.95) ≈ 16(2.95 -3) -1 = -1.8

  g(3.05) ≈ 16(3.05 -3) -1 = -0.2

__

(b) At x=3, the slope of the curve is increasing, so the tangent lies below the curve. The estimates are too small. (Matches description A.)

Can you please explain how you did it. Thanks!
vivado [14]
Well first you would start by setting up with a proportion.
In total, the girls paid $54+$22= $76
Thus 1 sister contributed $54/$76=x/100
The other sister contributed $22/$76=x/76
For each proportion, cross-multiply and simplify to get the percentage. The percentage will be the x
