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.

Answer:

m<x = 48

m<y = 132

Step-by-step explanation:

Since x and y are supplementary angles, that means their sum is 180 degrees.

And we are given that y is 12 less than 3 times the measure of x.  With this information we can make a system of linear equations.

x + y = 180

y = 3x - 12

So now plug in the value of y into the first equation.

x + y = 180

x + (3x - 12) = 180

x + 3x = 192

4x = 192

x = 48

And then plug this computed value of x back into the first equation to find the measure of y.

x + y = 180

48 + y = 180

y = 180 - 48

y = 132

So the measures of the angles are as follows:

m<x = 48

m<y = 132

Cheers.

The lengths of pregnancies in a small rural village are normally distributed with a mean of 261 days and a standard deviation of
valina [46]

Answer:

(221.39, 300.61) and (255.2223, 266.7777)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that X, the  lengths of pregnancies in a small rural village are normally distributed with a mean of 261 days and a standard deviation of 17 days

Middle 98% would lie on either side of the mean with probability ±2.33 in the std normal distribution on either side of 0

Corresponding we have x scores as

Between 261-2.33*17 and 261+2.33*17

i.e. in the interval = (221.39, 300.61)

If sample size = 47, then std error of sample would be

\frac{17}{\sqrt{47} }

So 98% of pregnancies would lie between

261-2.33*\frac{17}{\sqrt{47} } and 262+2.33*\frac{17}{\sqrt{47} }

= (255.2223, 266.7777)

(4z^5 - 14z^4 + 10z^3 - 16z^2 + 41z - 2) / (z - 2)
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

4z4−6z3−2z2−20z+1

Step-by-step explanation:

4z5−14z4+10z3−16z2+41z−2

z−2

=

4z5−14z4+10z3−16z2+41z−2

z−2

=

(z−2)(4z4−6z3−2z2−20z+1)

z−2

=4z4−6z3−2z2−20z+1

(theres no more like terms so u cant)
