Answer:

$474

Step-by-step explanation:

Ellen's pay is:

Fixed Weekly Salary (that is $330) + 12% commission on Sales

We already know her fixed salary part. Let's figure out her last week's commission and add it to her fixed salary to find her total pay.

12% is 12/100 = 0.12

To find 12% of 1200, we multiply 1200 with 0.12. We get:

1200*0.12=144

So her commissions for last week is $144.

Total Pay Last Week = 330 + 144 = $474

A rectangular field with one side along a river is to be fenced. Suppose that no fence is needed along the river, the fence on t
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

a) Side Parallel to the river: 200 ft

b) Each of the other sides: 400 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent side parallel to the river and W represent width of fence.

The required fencing (F) would be F=L+2W.

We have been given that field must contain 80,000 square feet. This means area of field must be equal to 80,000.

LW=80,000...(1)

We are told that the fence on the side opposite the river costs $20 per foot, and the fence on the other sides costs $5 per foot, so total cost (C) of fencing would be C=20L+5(2W)\Rightarrow 20L+10W.

From equation (1), we will get:

L=\frac{80,000}{W}

Upon substituting this value in cost equation, we will get:

C=20(\frac{80,000}{W})+10W

C=\frac{1600,000}{W}+10W

C=1600,000W^{-1}+10W

To minimize the cost, we need to find critical points of the the derivative of cost function as:

C'=-1600,000W^{-2}+10

-1600,000W^{-2}+10=0

-1600,000W^{-2}=-10

-\frac{1600,000}{W^2}=-10

-10W^2=-1,600,000

W^2=160,000

\sqrt{W^2}=\pm\sqrt{160,000}  

W=\pm 400

Since width cannot be negative, therefore, the width of the fencing would be 400 feet.

Now, we will find the 2nd derivative as:

C''=-2(-1600,000)W^{-3}

C''=3200,000W^{-3}

C''=\frac{3200,000}{W^3}

Now, we will substitute W=400 in 2nd derivative as:

C''(400)=\frac{3200,000}{400^3}=\frac{3200,000}{64000000}=0.05

Since 2nd derivative is positive at W=400, therefore, width of 400 ft of the fencing will minimize the cost.

Upon substituting W=400 in L=\frac{80,000}{W}, we will get:

L=\frac{80,000}{400}\\\\L=200

Therefore, the side parallel to the river will be 200 feet.

Blababa [14]

Answer:

This moves f(x) 8 units to the left

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x) = f(x + 8)

y = f(x + C) C > 0 moves it left

This moves f(x) 8 units to the left
