The equation x=2t-1 represent the x-coordinate. To get the value of x, substitute t with -1.
That is: x = 2(-1) - 1
= -2-1
= -3
Likewise, the equation y=t∧-3 represent the y-coordinate. Substituting t with -1,
y = (-1)∧-3
= -1
The point that correspond to t=-1 is (-3,-1).
We need to separate his total earnings out into the different categories:
Category 1 (2%): 30,000
Category 2 (3%): 60,000-30,000 = 30,000
Category 3 (5%): 92,000-60,000 = 32,000
To calculate a percentage we multiply by that percentage divided by 100.
Now we can work out the commissions:
1) 30,000*0.02 = $600
2) 30,000*0.03 = $900
3) 32,000*0.05 = $1600
Adding these together, we get $3100
Answer:
Example:
A bag contains 3 black balls and 5 white balls. Paul picks a ball at random from the bag and replaces it back in the bag. He mixes the balls in the bag and then picks another ball at random from the bag.
a) Construct a probability tree of the problem.
b) Calculate the probability that Paul picks:
i) two black balls
ii) a black ball in his second draw
Solution:
tree diagram
a) Check that the probabilities in the last column add up to 1.
b) i) To find the probability of getting two black balls, first locate the B branch and then follow the second B branch. Since these are independent events we can multiply the probability of each branch.
ii) There are two outcomes where the second ball can be black.
Either (B, B) or (W, B)
From the probability tree diagram, we get:
P(second ball black)
= P(B, B) or P(W, B)
= P(B, B) + P(W, B)
Hey there! I'm happy to help!
Let's have the capacity be c. The tank is currently at 4/5c. We subtract 190 and then we are at 1/6c. Let's set this up as an equation and solve it.
4/5c-190=1/6c
We want to get the c all by itself to see the capacity of the tank. Let's get all of the c values on the left side of the equation and the numbers on the right by using inverse operations.
4/5c-190=1/6c
Add 190 to both sides.
4/5c=1/6+190
Subtract 1/6 from both sides.
19/30c=190
Divide both sides by 19/30.
c=300
So, the capacity of the tank is 300 liters of water.
Have a wonderful day and keep on learning! :D
The answer is C. (x+6)(x+8)
