Answer: Amount of sales s = $6240 is the salary at ABC company is greater than at XYZ company.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Annual salary of ABC company = $45000

Annual salary of XYZ company = $38000

Rate of commission = 2%

Amount of salary after commission at XYZ company would be

$\dfrac{100+2}{100}\times 38000\\\\=\dfrac{102}{100}\times 38000\\\\=1.02\times 38000\\\\=38760$

So, Difference between is given by

$45000-38760\\\\=\$6240$

Hence, Amount of sales s = $6240 is the salary at ABC company is greater than at XYZ company.

Complete the square to determine the minimum or maximum value of the function defined by the expression.

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

Option D. minimum value at −38

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$x^{2}-12x-2$

Let

$y=x^{2}-12x-2$

Complete the square

$y+2=x^{2}-12x$

$y+2+36=(x^{2}-12x+36)$

$y+38=(x^{2}-12x+36)$

$y+38=(x-6)^{2}$

$y=(x-6)^{2}-38$ ------> equation of a vertical parabola in vertex form

The vertex is the point $(6,-38)$

The parabola open upward-----> the vertex is a minimum

therefore

minimum value at −38

Which systems of equations intersect at point A in this graph?

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

The point of intersection of the system of equations is:

(x, y) = (-2, 1)

The correct system of equations intersect at point A in this graph will be:

$\begin{bmatrix}y=4x+9\\ y=-3x-5\end{bmatrix}$

Thus, the second option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the point

A (-2, 1)

Let us check the system of equations to determine whether it intersect at point A in this graph.

Given the system of equations

$\begin{bmatrix}y=4x+9\\ y=-3x-5\end{bmatrix}$

Arrange equation variable for elimination

$\begin{bmatrix}y-4x=9\\ y+3x=-5\end{bmatrix}$

so

$y+3x=-5$

$-$

$\underline{y-4x=9}$

$7x=-14$

so the system of equations becomes

$\begin{bmatrix}y-4x=9\\ 7x=-14\end{bmatrix}$

Solve 7x = -14 for x

$7x=-14$

Divide both sides by 7

$\frac{7x}{7}=\frac{-14}{7}$

Simplify

$x = -2$

For y - 4x = 9 plug in x = 2

$y-4\left(-2\right)=9$

$y+4\cdot \:2=9$

$y+8=9$

Subtract 8 from both sides

$y+8-8=9-8$

Simplify

y = 1

Thus, the solution to the system of equations is:

(x, y) = (-2, 1)

From the attached graph, it is also clear that the system of equations intersects at point x = -2, and y = 1.

In other words, the point of intersection of the system of equations is:

(x, y) = (-2, 1)

Therefore, the correct system of equations intersect at point A in this graph will be:

$\begin{bmatrix}y=4x+9\\ y=-3x-5\end{bmatrix}$

Thus, the second option is correct.

Which of the following graphs represents exponential decay?

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

C is the only viable answer, because it it the only one that decreases as x approaches infinity. Exponential decay decreases, hence the decay part.
