Shane:
8 x 3 = 24 Because it is 8h per day for 3 days. Per is like times
24h out of 36 24/36 GCF is 12 divide to and bottom by 12
24 / 12 is 2 36 / 12 is 3 2/3 Shane worked for 2/3 of 36h
Percentage: 100% / 3 (because there is 3 parts)= 33.333333333333
33.33333333333 x 2 (because it is there is 2 parts needed) = 66.6666666666%
Shane has worked for 66.6666666666% of 36 hours
Andrew:
4 x 6 = 24
Hey did you realise, the 24 is exactly the same! So the fraction would still be 2/3 of 36, and so on, there percentage is still the same, it's still 66.6666666666%
Answer: Both of Andrew and Shane has worked for the exact same time, therefore they have the exact same percentage <span />
When you factor the parabola you get
(x+6)(x-2)
set each of these equal to zero
x+6=0 x-2=0
solve for x
x=-6 x=2
these are your x-intercepts
(-6,0) and (2,0)
Your average commission is $246
i got this by adding them all up then dividing
When an amount differs from a fixed amount such as the mean
Hmmmm judging by the values in between integers, like 2.5, 1.5, -2.5, -3.5 and so on, those values always produce a smaller number hmm that sounds whack... lemme put it differently.
a floor() function, namely ⌊x⌋ like that, will floor the decimal values, so ⌊2.5⌋ floors to 2, because 2.5 is between 2 and 3, and the smallest is 2, the "floor", the 3 will be the "ceiling".
so for a floor function, ⌊1.5⌋ is 1, 1.5 is between 1 and 2, 1 is the smallest, ⌊-3.5⌋ is -4, recall that on the negative side, the closer to 0, the larger, so -1 is much larger than -1000.
and say ⌊-1.35⌋ is -2, -1.35 is between -2 an -1 and -2 is the smallest, the "floor".
that said
x = 2.5 ⌊ 2.5 + 3⌋ is ⌊5.5⌋ which is 5
x = 1.5 ⌊ 1.5 + 3 ⌋ is ⌊4.5⌋ which is 4
x = -2.749 ⌊ -2.749 + 3⌋ is ⌊0.251⌋ which is 0
anyway and so on, so you can pretty much see is the floor function of ⌊ x + 3⌋.
