Chris can be paid in one of two ways. Plan A is a salary of $490 per month, plus a commission of 9% of sales. Plan B is a sal

ary of $826 per month, plus a commission of 3% of sales. For what amount of sales is Chris better off selecting plan A?

Answer:

$390+0.07s=$544+0.05s Subtract $390 from each side.

0.07s=$154+0.05s Subtract 0.05s from each side.

0.02s=$154 Divide each side by 0.02.

s=$7700 Both plans pay the same when sales=$7700

ANSWER With sales greater than $7700, Chris is better off with Plan A.

Identify the trinomial that is a perfect square. 81x^2 − 70x 16 64x^2 − 90x 25 81x^2 − 72x 16 64x^2 − 70x 25

Vilka [71]

Hmm
(a+b)^2=(a+b)(a+b)=a^2+2ab+b^2

basically
for
ax^2+bx+c
it is a perfect trinomial when
b=2(√a)(√c)
remember to take both positive and negative roots into consideration
because
(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2 and
(a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2

see each

first one
-70=2(9)(4)
-70=72
false

second
-90=2(8)(5)
-90=80
false

third
-72=(9)(4)
-72=72
false
but, the last one could be negative
(9x-4)^2 is factor
that is the answer

the answer is 81x^2-72x+16

The angle of elevation from me to the top of a hill is 51 degrees. The angle of elevation from me to the top of a tree is 57 deg

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

Approximately $101\; \rm ft$ (assuming that the height of the base of the hill is the same as that of the observer.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to the diagram attached.

Let $\rm O$ denote the observer.
Let $\rm A$ denote the top of the tree.
Let $\rm R$ denote the base of the tree.
Let $\rm B$ denote the point where line $\rm AR$ (a vertical line) and the horizontal line going through $\rm O$ meets. $\angle \rm B\hat{A}R = 90^\circ$ .

Angles:

Angle of elevation of the base of the tree as it appears to the observer: $\angle \rm B\hat{O}R = 51^\circ$ .
Angle of elevation of the top of the tree as it appears to the observer: $\angle \rm B\hat{O}A = 57^\circ$ .

Let the length of segment $\rm BR$ (vertical distance between the base of the tree and the base of the hill) be $x\; \rm ft$ .

The question is asking for the length of segment $\rm AB$ . Notice that the length of this segment is $\mathrm{AB} = (x + 20)\; \rm ft$ .

The length of segment $\rm OB$ could be represented in two ways:

In right triangle $\rm \triangle OBR$ as the side adjacent to $\angle \rm B\hat{O}R = 51^\circ$ .
In right triangle $\rm \triangle OBA$ as the side adjacent to $\angle \rm B\hat{O}A = 57^\circ$ .

For example, in right triangle $\rm \triangle OBR$ , the length of the side opposite to $\angle \rm B\hat{O}R = 51^\circ$ is segment $\rm BR$ . The length of that segment is $x\; \rm ft$ .

$\begin{aligned}\tan{\left(\angle\mathrm{B\hat{O}R}\right)} = \frac{\,\rm {BR}\,}{\,\rm {OB}\,} \; \genfrac{}{}{0em}{}{\leftarrow \text{opposite}}{\leftarrow \text{adjacent}}\end{aligned}$ .

Rearrange to find an expression for the length of $\rm OB$ (in $\rm ft$ ) in terms of $x$ :

$\begin{aligned}\mathrm{OB} &= \frac{\mathrm{BR}}{\tan{\left(\angle\mathrm{B\hat{O}R}\right)}} \\ &= \frac{x}{\tan\left(51^\circ\right)}\approx 0.810\, x\end{aligned}$ .

Similarly, in right triangle $\rm \triangle OBA$ :

$\begin{aligned}\mathrm{OB} &= \frac{\mathrm{AB}}{\tan{\left(\angle\mathrm{B\hat{O}A}\right)}} \\ &= \frac{x + 20}{\tan\left(57^\circ\right)}\approx 0.649\, (x + 20)\end{aligned}$ .

Equate the right-hand side of these two equations:

$0.810\, x \approx 0.649\, (x + 20)$ .

Solve for $x$ :

$x \approx 81\; \rm ft$ .

Hence, the height of the top of this tree relative to the base of the hill would be $(x + 20)\; {\rm ft}\approx 101\; \rm ft$ .
