Hello there! We are looking for the amount of total sales. To find the amount of total sales, we can write and solve a proportion. Set it up like this:
180/x = 3/100
We do this, because 180 is part of the whole, 3% is a part of 100%. This proportion will help us get to the correct answer. Let's cross multiply. 180 * 100 is 18,000. 3 * x is 3x. that makes 18,000 = 3x. Now, divide each side by 3 to isolate the x. 3x/3 cancels out. 18,000/3 is 6,000. Let's check this. 6,000 * 3% (0.030 is 180. 180 = 180. There. x = 6,000. The amount of sales is $6,000.
F(x)·g(x) = (3x-2)(5x) = 15x^2 -10x
We have the function 
and we want to find a function that has the same y-intercept than the previous function.
First, let's find the y-intercept by subtituting 0 for 'x'.
Now that we found that y-intercept =-3, any lineal function of the type: 
will have the same y-intercept. Where 'a' can take all the real values.
Also, any quadratic function of the type: 
will have the same y-intercept. Where 'a' and 'b' can take all the real values.
Answer:
an = 1/2 (n) (n+1)
Step-by-step explanation:
1,3,6,10,.........
3-1=2
6-3=3
Each term is different so there is no common difference. It is not an arithmetic sequence
3/1=3
6/3 =2
Each term is different so there is no common ratio. It is not a geometric sequence
1 3 6 10
+2 +3 +4
a1 = 1
a2 = 3
a3 = 6 = 2*3
a4 = 10 = 2*5
