A salesperson is paid a flat rate plus a fixed percentage of her sales. Last month, she sold $16,000 worth of goods and was paid

$1,600. Two months ago, she had $12,000 in sales and was paid $1,400. This month she sold $11,000 worth of goods. How much will she be paid?​

Answer:

<em>She will be paid $1,350</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Linear Modeling</u>

Some events can be modeled as linear functions. If we are in a situation where a linear model is suitable, then we need two sample points to make the model and predict unknown behaviors.

The linear function can be expressed in the slope-intercept format:

y=mx+b, where m and b are constants.

The payments for a salesperson will be linearly modeled. There are two known points: When the sales were $16,000, the payment was $1,600. This makes the point (16,000;1,600).

We also know when the sales were $12,000, the payment was $1,400. The point is (12,000;1,400)

Let's use the points to find the values of m and b.

Using (16,000;1,600):

1,600=m*16,000+b

Using (12,000;1,400):

1,400=m*12,000+b

Subtracting both equations:

200=16,000m-12,000m

200=4,000m

Solving:

m=200/4,000=0.05

Using the first equation and the value of m:

1,600=0.05*16,000+b

1,600=800+b

Solving:

b=800

The equation is now complete:

y=0.05x+800

She sold $11,000 this month, so the payment is:

y=0.05\cdot 11,000+800

Y=550+800=1,350

She will be paid $1,350

10 (2y + 2) - y = 2 (8y - 8)
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

10(2y+2)= 10.2y+10.2

20y+20-y

2(8y-8)=2.8y-2.8

20y+20-y=16y-16

20y-16y-y=-20-16

3y=-36

36/3y=?

y=-12

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

D=\frac{k}{\sqrt{m}}\\\\64=\frac{k}{\sqrt{9}}\\\\64=\frac{k}{3}\\\\ 64*3=k\\\\k=192\\a)D=\frac{192}{\sqrt{4}}\\\\=\frac{192}{2}\\\\D=96\\\\b)32=\frac{192}{\sqrt{m}}\\\\  32*\sqrt{m}=192\\\\\sqrt{m}=\frac{192}{32}=6\\\\m=36

[Calculus, Derivatives] Can a function be differentiable at certain points even if the entire function is not differentiable?
koban [17]

A function is differentiable if you can find the derivative at every point in its domain. In the case of f(x) = |x+2|, the function wouldn't be considered differentiable unless you specified a certain sub-interval such as (5,9) that doesn't include x = -2. Without clarifying the interval, the entire function overall is not differentiable even if there's only one point at issue here (because again we look at the entire domain). Though to be fair, you could easily say "the function f(x) = |x+2| is differentiable everywhere but x = -2" and would be correct. So it just depends on your wording really.

A cone has a radius of 7cm and a height of 12 cm. Find the volume
Dmitrij [34]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

   196π cm^3 ≈ 615.8 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the numbers in the volume formula and do the arithmetic.

  V = 1/3πr^2·h

  V = 1/3π(7 cm)^2(12 cm) = 196π cm^3 ≈ 615.8 cm^3
