Answer:

5 Cars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of cars to be sold to make the total pay equal be x.

The first company pays a salary of $12,500 plus commission of $1500 for each car sold.

  • Algebraically written as: 12500+1500x

The second company pays a salary of $17,500 plus a commission of $500 per car sold.

  • Algebraically written as: 17500+500x

Equating both sides

12500+1500x=17500+500x

Collect like terms

1500x-500x=17500-12500

1000x=5000

Divide both sides by 1000

x=5

Therefore, when 5 cars are sold, the total pay would be the same.

For the graph, what is a reasonable constraint so that the function is at least 300?
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

C) 0 ≤ x ≤ 25

Step-by-step explanation:

We are supposed to find a reasonable constraint so that the function is at least 300 i.e. the value of x at which f(x) is greater or equal to 300

A)x ≥ 0

Refer the graph

At x = 0

f(x)=300

On increasing the value of x , f(x) increases but at x = 12 it starts decreasing

So, x ≥ 0 can also have f(x)<300

So, Option A is wrong

B)−5 ≤ x ≤ 30

At x = -5

f(x) = 100

So, Option B is wrong since we require f(x) is greater or equal to 300

c)0 ≤ x ≤ 25

At x = 0

f(x)=300

At x = 12 , it starts decreasing

At x = 25

f(x)=300

So, The value of f(x) is at least 300 when 0 ≤ x ≤ 25

D)All real numbers

At x = 30

f(x)=0

But we require f(x) greater or equal to 300

Hence Option C is true

How do you find the sine, cosine, and tangent values on the unit circle not in the first quadrant? Provide an example, and how y
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
A point (-0.8, 0.6) will be a point on the unit circle in the second quadrant. Since it is a unit circle, its radius is 1, and we have
  sin(α) = y = 0.6
  cos(α) = x = -0.8
  tan(α) = y/x = 0.6/-0.8 = -0.75

The angle is α = arccos(-0.8) ≈ 143.13°

______
For the unit circle, the trig values are always the coordinates or their ratio as shown above, regardless of quadrant.
