Answer:

a. 73; b. 48.9; c. 2; d. 33.8; e. 73

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume the function was

S(t)= 73 - 15 ln(t + 1), t  ≥ 0

a. Average score at t = 0

S(0) = 73 - 15 ln(0 + 1) = 73 - 15 ln(1) = 73 - 15(0) =73 - 0 = 73

b. Average score at t = 4

S(4) = 73 - 15 ln(4 + 1) = 73 - 15 ln(5) = 73 - 15(1.61) =73 - 24.14 = 48.9

c. Average score at t =24

S(24) = 73 - 15 ln(24 + 1) = 73 - 15 ln(25) = 73 - 15(3.22) =73 - 48.28 = 24.7

d. Percent of answers retained

At t = 0. the students retained 73 % of the answers.

At t = 24, they retained 24.7 % of the answers.

\text{Percent retention} = \dfrac{\text{24.7}}{\text{73}} \times 100 \, \% = \text{33.8 \%}\\\\\text{The students retained $\large \boxed{\mathbf{33.8 \, \%}}$ of their original knowledge after two years.}

e. Maximum of the function

The maximum of the function is at t= 0.

Max = 73 %

Jose and Maris work for different car dealerships. Jose earns a monthly salary of $3,500 plus a 6% commission on his sales, x. M
aev [14]

Answer: d.3,500 + 0.06x > 4,000 + 0.04x

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write each inequality:

Jose earns a monthly salary of $3,500 plus a 6% commission on his sales, x.

So, his monthly earnings must be equal to the sum of the fixed monthly salary ($3500) plus the product of the number of sales (x) and the commission percentage in decimal form (divided by 100):

So:

Jose’s earnings: 3,500 + x (6/100)

Jose’s earnings: 3,500 + 0.06x

Maris earns a monthly salary of $4,000 plus a 4% commission on her sales.

So, her monthly earnings must be equal to the sum of the fixed monthly salary ($4000) plus the product of the number of sales (x) and the commission percentage in decimal form (divided by 100):

Maris’ earnings: 4000+ x (4/100)

Maris’ earnings: 4000+ 0.04 x

Since Jose's earnings must be greater than Maris' earnings

3,500 + 0.06x >4000+ 0.04 x
