Answer:

1. We can see that salesperson's weekly income is the sum of her constant weekly salary ($760) and a commission which is variable and depends on her weekly sales.

So, if we say that y is her weekly income and x is her weekly sales, we can write this as:

y = 760 + 0.075x

Note that we had to change percentage to decimal number dividing it by 100.

2  Since for each value of x there is only one corresponding value of y, we can say that this is a function. For any value of x we input there is only one solution we get - that is the main feature of function and a way to tell if something is really a function.

Since this is a function, it can also be written as:

f(x) = 760 + 0.075x

3. Domain of a function is, basically, set of all values of x for which the function can work. That practically means that, since x is weekly sale, it can not be negative (one cannot make -$500 sale, for example). However, it is possible that she doesn't make a sale one week, making it possible for x to be 0. Also, the value of her sales doesn't have to be integer (it is quite possible that she makes $673.50 sale).

All this means that appropriate domain for this function are positive real numbers including 0.

Find the indefinite integral. (Use C for the constant of integration.) <br> e2x 25 e4x dx.
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

The solution is  \frac{1}{10} * tan^{-1}[\frac{e^{2x}}{5} ] +  C

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question

    The function given is  f(x) =  \frac{e^{2x}}{ 25 + e^{4x}} dx

The  indefinite integral is  mathematically represented as

          \int\limits  {\frac{e^{2x}}{ 25 + e^{4x}}} \, dx

Now  let  e^{2x} =  u

=>   \frac{du}{dx} 2e^{2x}

=>   2 e^{2x}dx =  du

So

\int\limits  {\frac{e^{2x}}{ 25 + e^{4x}}} \, dx =  \int\limits  {\frac{1}{ 2(25 + u^2)} } \, du

= \frac{1}{2} \int\limits  {\frac{1}{ 25 + u^2)} } \, du

=  \frac{1}{2} \int\limits  {\frac{1}{ 5^2 + u^2)} } \, du

= \frac{1}{2} \frac{tan^{-1} [\frac{u}{5} ]}{5}  +  C

Now substituting for  u

\frac{1}{10} * tan^{-1}[\frac{e^{2x}}{5} ] +  C

A system of equations is graphed on the coordinate plane.
ANTONII [103]
You have 2y=3x-1 and 4y=6x-2. first step is to get the y by itself . first equation you divide everything by 2 which gives you the equation: y= 3/2x-1/2
or y= 1.5x-.5, for the second equation you divide everything by 4, which gives you y=6/4x-2/4 (1/2) or y=1.5-.5. both equations are equal to one another: 
the answer is therefore C Infinitely many solutions.
