Answer:

$4060.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Jill gets a base pay of $1500 per month. She also earns a commission of 8% of her total sales. We are asked to find Jill's earnings for a month in which she has sales of $32,000.

Jill's earnings for the month would be base salary pus 8% of $32,000.

$\text{Jill's total earnings for the month}=\$1500+\$32,000\times \frac{8}{100}$

$\text{Jill's total earnings for the month}=\$1500+\$320\times8$

$\text{Jill's total earnings for the month}=\$1500+\$2560$

$\text{Jill's total earnings for the month}=\$4060$

Therefore, the Jill's earnings for the given month would be $4060.

Poorly phrased question, but the general answer is 5k/(12k), where k <span>∈ Z (i.e. k is an integer).

So, 5/12 and 10/24.</span>

Describe the behavior of the function ppp around its vertical asymptote at x=-2x=−2x, equals, minus, 2.

insens350 [35]

Answer:

$x->-2^{-}, p(x)->-\infty$ and as $x->-2^{+}, p(x)->-\infty$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$p(x) = \frac{x^2-2x-3}{x+2}$ -- Missing from the question

Required

The behavior of the function around its vertical asymptote at $x = -2$

$p(x) = \frac{x^2-2x-3}{x+2}$

Expand the numerator

$p(x) = \frac{x^2 + x -3x - 3}{x+2}$

Factorize

$p(x) = \frac{x(x + 1) -3(x + 1)}{x+2}$

Factor out x + 1

$p(x) = \frac{(x -3)(x + 1)}{x+2}$

We test the function using values close to -2 (one value will be less than -2 while the other will be greater than -2)

We are only interested in the sign of the result

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As x approaches -2 implies that:

$x -> -2^{-}$ Say x = -3

$p(x) = \frac{(x -3)(x + 1)}{x+2}$

$p(-3) = \frac{(-3-3)(-3+1)}{-3+2} = \frac{-6 * -2}{-1} = \frac{+12}{-1} = -12$

We have a negative value (-12); This will be called negative infinity

This implies that as x approaches -2, p(x) approaches negative infinity

$x->-2^{-}, p(x)->-\infty$

Take note of the superscript of 2 (this implies that, we approach 2 from a value less than 2)

As x leaves -2 implies that: $x>-2$

Say x = -2.1

$p(-2.1) = \frac{(-2.1-3)(-2.1+1)}{-2.1+2} = \frac{-5.1 * -1.1}{-0.1} = \frac{+5.61}{-0.1} = -56.1$

We have a negative value (-56.1); This will be called negative infinity

This implies that as x leaves -2, p(x) approaches negative infinity

$x->-2^{+}, p(x)->-\infty$

So, the behavior is:

$x->-2^{-}, p(x)->-\infty$ and as $x->-2^{+}, p(x)->-\infty$

Right triangles abc and dbc with right angle c are given below. If cos(a)=15,ab=12 and cd=2, find the length of bd.

dmitriy555 [2]

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we have that

$cos(A)=\frac{1}{5} \\ AB=12\ units\\ CD=2\ units$

Step 1

<u>Find the value of AC</u>

we know that

in the right triangle ABC

$cos (A)=(AC/AB)\\AC=AB*cos(A)$

substitute the values in the formula

$AC=12*(1/5)\\ AC=2.4\ units$

Step 2

<u>Find the value of BC</u>

we know that

in the right triangle ABC

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

$AB^{2} =AC^{2}+BC^{2}\\ BC^{2}=AB^{2} -AC^{2}$

substitute the values

$BC^{2}=12^{2} -2.4^{2}\\BC^{2}= 138.24\\ BC=11.76\ units$

Step 3

<u>Find the value of BD</u>

we know that

in the right triangle BCD

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

$BD^{2} =DC^{2}+BC^{2}$

substitute the values

$BD^{2} =2^{2}+11.76^{2}$

$BD=11.93\ units$

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

the length of BD is 11.93 units

Determine if the expression 9y5 – 10y3 is a polynomial or not. If it is a polynomial,

Stolb23 [73]

I am going to assume that the equation was supposed to be $9y^{5}$ $-10y^{3}$

Answer:

It is a polynomial. It is a binomial and it has a degree of 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

A polynomial is an expression consisting of variables and coefficients, that involves only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative integer exponentiation of variables so $9y^{5}$ $-10y^{3}$ will be considered a polynomial.

A binomial is a polynomial with 2 terms.

The degree of a polynomial is the highest exponent in it which in this equation is 5.
