Answer: Mary makes $1160, Steven makes $142.50
Step-by-step explanation:
Facts
MARY
8% commision on everything she sells
She sells a car for $14,500
The first question about Mary asks how much commision she makes. To find that, lets find 8% of 14,500
8% of 14,500= 0.08x14,500= 1160
Therefore, Mary makes $1,160 in commision.
STEVEN
Facts
He makes 15% in commision for the supplies he sells
He sells $950 in supplies
Money made =?
15% of 950=0.15x950=$142.50
i think the answer to this problem is49
Set the whole expression = to 0 and solve for x.
3x^(5/3) - 4x^(7/3) = 0. Factor out x^(5/3): x^(5/3) [3 - 4x^(2/3)] = 0
Then either x^(5/3) = 0, or 3 - 4x^(2/3) = 0.
In the latter case, 4x^(2/3) = 3.
To solve this: mult. both sides by x^(-2/3). Then we have
4x^(2/3)x^(-2/3) = 3x^(-2/3), or 4 = 3x^(-2/3). It'd be easier to work with this if we rewrote it as
4 3
--- = --------------------
1 x^(+2/3)
Then
4
--- = x^(-2/3). Then, x^(2/3) = (3/4), and x = (3/4)^(3/2). According to my 3 calculator, that comes out to x = 0.65 (approx.)
Check this result! subst. 0.65 for x in the given equation. Is the equation then true?
My method here was a bit roundabout, and longer than it should have been. Can you think of a more elegant (and shorter) solution?
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
(ab)^n=a^n * b^n
We need to show that it is true for n=1
assuming that it is true for n = k;
(ab)^n=a^n * b^n
( ab) ^1 = a^1 * b^1
ab = a * b
ab = ab
Then we need to show that it is true for n = ( k+1)
or (ab)^(k+1)=a^( k+1) * b^( k+1)
Starting with
(ab)^k=a^k * b^k given
Multiply each side by ab
ab * (ab)^k= ab *a^k * b^k
( ab) ^ ( k+1) = a^ ( k+1) b^ (k+1)
Therefore, the rule is true for every natural number n
