Working as an insurance salesperson, Ilya earns a base salary and a commission on each new policy, so Ilya’s weekly income, II,

depends on the number of new policies, n, he sells during the week. Last week he sold 3 new policies, and earned $760 for the week. The week before, he sold 5 new policies, and earned $920. Find an equation for I(n), and interpret the meaning of the components of the equation.

Answer:

l(n) = 80n + 520

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given in the  question, there is a relationship between the number of new policy sold, n, and earning, I

           For 3 new policies, he earned $760

           For 5 new policies, he earned $920.

The rate of change of IIya's earning with respect to number of new policy sales is

             m = \frac{dI}{dn}

             m = \frac{920 - 760}{5 - 3}

             m = $160 / 2 policies

             m = $80 / policy

The linear equation for the relationship is;

             l(n) = mn + b

I(n) is Ilya’s weekly income which is a function of the number of new policies, n

m is the rate of change of I with respect to n

n is the number of new policies,

b is the intial function which is IIya's income when n equals zero

Recall, Ilya earns a commission of $80 for each policy sold during the week. (m = $80 per policy)

                 l(n) = 80n + b

To complete the relationship l, we need to calculate the initial value b.

For 3 new policies, he earned $760,

             760 = 80(3) + b

             760 = 240 + b

             b = 760 - 520

             b = 520

The final equation is l(n) = 80n + 520

From the final equation, we can deduce that Ilya’s weekly salary is $520 and he earns an additional $80 commission for each new policy sold.

What is the x-intercept for y=7/4x+1/4
Brums [2.3K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  -1/7

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x-intercept, set y=0 and solve for x.

  0 = 7/4x +1/4

Multiply by 4/7

  0 = x + 1/7

Subtract 1/7

  -1/7 = x

The x-intercept is -1/7.

DFGI is a trapezoid with midsegment EH. What is DI?
natka813 [3]

Answer:

a. 8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

EH = 6 cm

FG = 4.00 cm

Based on the mid-segment theorem of a trapezoid, we have:

EH = ½(FG + DI)

Plug in the values

6 = ½(4 + DI)

Multiply both sides by 2

6*2 = 4 + DI

12 = 4 + DI

12 - 4 = 4 + DI - 4

8 = DI

DI = 8 cm
