I would assume that you subsitute as usual, but g is negative
(f-g)(x)=(3x+2)-(2x-2)
(f-g)(x)=3x+2-2x+2
(f-g)(x)=x+4

$f(x)=3x+2 \\
g(x)=2x-2 \\ \\
(f-g)(x)=f(x)-g(x)=3x+2-(2x-2)=3x+2-2x+2=\\
=x+4 \\ \\
\boxed{(f-g)(x)=x+4}$

Michael earns $900 per month, plus 5% commission on all his sales over $750. what is the minimum amount of sales Michael must ha

Alina [70]

<h3>The minimum amount of sales Michael must have to earn at least $2500 in a month is $ 32000</h3>

Solution:

The expression to Michael earnings is:

$b + (c \times s)$

Where,

b is the base salary, which is $ 900 in this sum

c is the commission rate

Given that commission rate is 5%

s is the sales

Michael must have to earn at least $2500 in a month

Here, at least means, "greater than or equal to" 2500

The inequality is framed as:

base salary + 5 % on sales $\geq$ 2500

$900 + \frac{5}{100} \times s \geq 2500\\\\\ 900 + 0.05s\geq 2500$

Solve the inequality

$0.05s\geq 2500-900\\\\0.05s \geq 1600\\\\Divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 0.05\\\\s\geq 32000$

Thus, minimum amount of sales Michael must have to earn at least $2500 in a month is $ 32000

Find the x-intercept of 3x + 2y = 12 is (__, 0)

Anettt [7]

3x + 2y = 12

(x, y) = (__, 0)

3x + (2 x 0) = 12
3x + 0 = 12
3x = 12
x = 4

By [n][n] we denote the set {1,…,n}. A function f:[m]→[n] is called monotone if f(i) \leq f(j)f(i)≤f(j)whenever i < ji

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

There are a total of ${ 6 \choose 3} = 20$ functions.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to define an injective monotone function from [3] to [6] we need to select 3 different values fromm {1,2,3,4,5,6} and assign the smallest one of them to 1, asign the intermediate value to 2 and the largest value to 3. That way the function is monotone and it satisfies what the problem asks.

The total way of selecting injective monotone functions is, therefore, the total amount of ways to pick 3 elements from a set of 6. That number is the combinatorial number of 6 with 3, in other words

${6 \choose 3} = \frac{6!}{3!(6-3)!} = \frac{720}{6*6} = \frac{720}{36} = 20$
