The right answer is Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Base salary = $18000

Commission rate = 9%

Amount Alan wants to earn = $45000

As base salary is $18000, therefore we will subtract this amount.

Amount Alan wants to earn = 45000 - 18000 = 27000

Let,

x be the total amount.

According to given statement;

9% of x > 27000

$\frac{9}{100}x>27000\\0.09x>27000$

Dividing both sides by 0.09

$\frac{0.09x}{0.09}>\frac{27000}{0.09}\\x>300000$

He needs to sell items of worth more than $300000.

The right answer is Option D.

Find the volume of the triangular prism in the picture shown. Round your answer to the

Olenka [21]

Given:

A figure of a triangular prism.

Height of triangular base = $9\dfrac{2}{3}$ yd

Base of triangular base = 4 yd

Height of prism = 4 yd.

To find:

The volume of the triangular prism.

Solution:

Volume of a triangular prism is:

$V=Bh$ ...(i)

Where, B is the area of triangular base and h is the height of the prism.

Area of triangular base is:

$B=\dfrac{1}{2}\times base\times height$

$B=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 4\times 9\dfrac{2}{3}$

$B=2\times \dfrac{29}{3}$

$B=\dfrac{58}{3}$

Putting $B=\dfrac{58}{3}$ and h=4 in (i), we get

$V=\dfrac{58}{3}\times 4$

$V=\dfrac{232}{3}$

$V=77.33...$

$V\approx 77.3$

The volume of the triangular prism is 77.3 cubic yards. Therefore, the correct option is 2.

Find all angles, 0 ≤C<360 that satisfy the equation below, to the nearest tenth of a degree.

ludmilkaskok [199]

Move all the terms involving the sine to one side, and all the numbers to the other:

$9\sin(c)-2=\sin(c)-7 \iff 8\sin(c) = -5\iff \sin(c)=-\dfrac{5}{8} \iff c = \arcsin\left(-\dfrac{5}{8}\right)\approx 321.3$

The difference between two numbers is 2 and their product is 224. What are the numbers?

Sati [7]

Let $x,y$ be the two numbers. We have two pieces of information:

$x-y=2$ (the difference between the two numbers is 2)

$xy=224$ (their product is 224)

From the first equation, we can deduce $x=y+2$

If we plug this expression in the second equation, we have

$xy = (y+2)y = 224 \iff y^2+2y-224 =0$

If you solve this equation with the usual quadratic formula you get the solutions

$y=-16,\quad y=14$

So, you have the following couple of solutions, recalling that x is 2 more than y:

$\begin{cases} x = -14\\y=-16\end{cases},\quad\begin{cases} x = 16\\y=14\end{cases}$

Find the solution set of this inequality|10x+20| ≤10

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

solution is

[-3,-1]

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given

$|10x+20|\leq 10$

Firstly, we will find critical values

so, let's assume it is equal

$|10x+20|= 10$

now, we can break absolute sign

For $|10x+20|= -(10x+20)$ :

$-(10x+20)= 10$

we can solve for x

$-10x-20= 10$

Add both sides by 20

$-10x-20+20= 10+20$

$-10x= 30$

Divide both sides by -10

and we get

$x=-3$

For $|10x+20|= (10x+20)$ :

$(10x+20)= 10$

we can solve for x

$10x+20= 10$

Subtract both sides by 20

$10x+20-20= 10-20$

$10x= -10$

Divide both sides by 10

and we get

$x=-1$

so, critical values are

$x=-3$

$x=-1$

now, we can draw a number line and locate these values

and then we can check inequality on each intervals

For $(-\infty,-3)$ :

We can select any random value from this interval and plug that in inequality

and we get

we can plug x=-5

$|10\times -5+20|\leq 10$

$|-50+20|\leq 10$

$30\leq 10$

so, this is FALSE

For $[-3,-1]$ :

We can select any random value from this interval and plug that in inequality

and we get

we can plug x=-2

$|10\times -2+20|\leq 10$

$|-20+20|\leq 10$

$0\leq 10$

so, this is TRUE

For $(-1,\infty)$ :

We can select any random value from this interval and plug that in inequality

and we get

we can plug x=0

$|10\times 0+20|\leq 10$

$|0+20|\leq 10$

$20\leq 10$

so, this is FALSE

so, solution is

[-3,-1]
