<h3>The minimum amount of sales Michael must have to earn at least $2500 in a month is $ 32000</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>The expression to Michael earnings is:</u></em>

b + (c \times s)

Where,

b is the base salary, which is $ 900 in this sum

c is the commission rate

Given that commission rate is 5%

s is the sales

Michael must have to earn at least $2500 in a month

Here, at least means, "greater than or equal to" 2500

The inequality is framed as:

base salary + 5 % on sales \geq 2500

900 + \frac{5}{100} \times s \geq 2500\\\\\ 900 + 0.05s\geq 2500

Solve the inequality

0.05s\geq 2500-900\\\\0.05s \geq  1600\\\\Divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 0.05\\\\s\geq 32000

Thus, minimum amount of sales Michael must have to earn at least $2500 in a month is $ 32000

The line segment joining the points A(2,1) and B(5,-8) is trisected at the points p and q such that p is nearer to A. If p also
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

  k = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

The location of P is ...

  P = (2A+B)/3 = (2·2+5, 2·1-8)/3 = (3, -2)

Putting this point into the equation for the line, we have ...

  2(3) -(-2) +k = 0

  8 +k = 0

  k = -8

Snezhnost [94]
<h2>Answer</h2>

f(x) = 5(1.25)x + 4

<h2>Explanation</h2>

To solve this, we are going to use the standard exponential equation:

f(x)=a(1+b)^x

where

a is the initial amount

b is the growth rate in decimal form

x is the time (in months for our case)

Since the hours of classic music remain constant, we just need to add them at the end. We know form our problem that Sue initially has 5 hours of pop, so a=5; we also know that every month onward, the hours of pop music in her collection is 25% more than what she had the previous month, so b=\frac{25}{100} =0.25. Now let's replace the values in our function:

f(x)=a(1+b)^x

f(x)=5(1+0.25)^x

f(x)=5(1.25)^x

Now we can add the hours of classical music to complete our function:

f(x)=5(1.25)^x+5

You may recall that you can't take the square root of a negative number (if you want a real number). So, the area under the square root, also known as the radicand, must be zero or positive. This is how we restrict the domain.

We write the inequality
x+6 \geq 0 \\  \\  \\ x \geq -6.
