Answer: the commission received by the salesperson is $576.9225

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the auction price

At the dealership, a sales person sold the boat for 30% more than the auction price. It means that the amount for which he sold the boat is

x + (30/100 × x)

= x + 0.3x = 1.3x

If the dealer paid $10,000 for a boat at an auction, it means that

1.3x = 10000

x = 10000/1.3

x = 7692.31

The difference between the auction price and the dealer price is

10000 - 7692.31 =$2307.69

The sales person received a commission of 25% of the difference between the auction price and the dealer price. It means that the commission received by the salesperson is

25/100 × 2307.69 = $576.9225

What is the average rate of change of f(x), represented by the graph, over the interval [-2, 2]?

Molodets [167]

To get the average rate of change (ARC) of f(x) over [x1, x2], we use the formula:
ARC = ( f(x2) - f(x2) ) / (x2 - x1)

From the graph
f(2) = 4
f(-2) = 4

Plugging in the values into the formula:
ARC = (4 - 4) / (2 - (-2) )
ARC = 0

The points connecting (-2,4) amd (2,4) is a horizontal line that is the rate of change is 0.

Solve the following absolute value equations. Show the solution set and check your answers. |0.3-3/5k|-0.4=1.2

9966 [12]

Answer:

**The equation is not clear, so I have provided both options**

<h3><u>Option 1</u></h3>

$\left|0.3-\dfrac{3}{5}k\right|-0.4=1.2$

$\implies \left|0.3-\dfrac{3}{5}k\right|=1.6$

<u>Solution 1</u>

$\implies 0.3-\dfrac{3}{5}k=1.6$

$\implies -\dfrac{3}{5}k=1.3$

$\implies k=-\dfrac{13}{6}$

<u>Solution 2</u>

$\implies -(0.3-\dfrac{3}{5}k)=1.6$

$\implies -0.3+\dfrac{3}{5}k=1.6$

$\implies \dfrac{3}{5}k=1.9$

$\implies k=\dfrac{19}{6}$

<h3><u>Option 2</u></h3>

$\left|0.3-\dfrac{3}{5k}\right|-0.4=1.2$

$\implies \left|0.3-\dfrac{3}{5k}\right|=1.6$

<u>Solution 1</u>

$\implies 0.3-\dfrac{3}{5k}=1.6$

$\implies -\dfrac{3}{5k}=1.3$

$\implies -3=6.5k$

$\implies k=-\dfrac{6}{13}$

<u>Solution 2</u>

$\implies -(0.3-\dfrac{3}{5k})=1.6$

$\implies -0.3+\dfrac{3}{5k}=1.6$

$\implies \dfrac{3}{5k}=1.9$

$\implies 3=9.5k$

$\implies k=\dfrac{6}{19}$
