Owen earns a base salary plus a commission that is a percent of his total sales. His total weekly pay is described by f(x)=0.15x

+325, where x is his total sales in dollars. What is the change in Owen's salary plan if his total weekly pay function changes to g(x)=0.20+325?

Answer:

0.05x

This is equivalent to 5% of the total amount of sales.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous Weekly pay function for Owen; f (x) = 0.15x +325-------------------- (1)

Current   Weekly pay function for Owen; g(x) = 0.20x +325--------------------(2)

Change in Owen's Salary plan is equation (2) minus equation (1)

g(x) - f(x) = (0.20x+325)-(0.15x+325)

              =  0.05x

The new change in Owen's salary is 5% of the total amount of sales

Is the triangle obtuse, acute, equilateral or right?
Stells [14]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  obtuse

Step-by-step explanation:

The law of cosines tells you ...

  b² = a² +c² -2ac·cos(B)

Substituting for a²+c² using the given equation, we have ...

  b² = b²·cos(B)² -2ac·cos(B)

We can subtract b² to get a quadratic in standard form for cos(B).

  b²·cos(B)² -2ac·cos(B) -b² = 0

Solving this using the quadratic formula gives ...

  \cos(B)=\dfrac{-(-2ac)\pm\sqrt{(-2ac)^2-4(b^2)(-b^2)}}{2b^2}\\\\\cos(B)=\dfrac{ac}{b^2}\pm\sqrt{\left(\dfrac{ac}{b^2}\right)^2+1}

The fraction ac/b² is always positive, so the term on the right (the square root) is always greater than 1. The value of cos(B) cannot be greater than 1, so the only viable value for cos(B) is ...

  \cos(B)=\dfrac{ac}{b^2}-\sqrt{\left(\dfrac{ac}{b^2}\right)^2+1}

The value of the radical is necessarily greater than ac/b², so cos(B) is necessarily negative. When cos(B) < 0, B > 90°. The triangle is obtuse.

Give a geometric interpretation of the triangle inequality
deff fn [24]

The sides must be long enough to make a triangle. (If the sides are not long enough, they won't meet, so cannot form a triangle.)

_____

If your version of the triangle inequality includes the "or equal to" case, then the segments must be long enough to meet, even though the result may look like a line segment.

Jim wishes to buy 3 gifts that cost 15 dollars, 9 dollars, and 12 dollars. he has 1/4 of the money he needs, how much more money
Archy [21]
In order to solve this, you have to plug in all of the costs of the gifts and add them, which in all equals $36. since jim only has 1/4 of the money he needs to buy the gifts, you need to divide 36 by 4. this gives you 9, so now you know he has 9 dollars.
and to find out how much more money he needs, you can subtract 9 from 36 which represents a fourth of the required money. the answer is 27, that's how much jim needs in order to buy his gifts.
