Mathematics

Answer: -14

Step-by-step explanation: Here we're asked to simplify -|-14| so we

start by simplifying the absolute value of -14.

Remember that the absolute value of

any positive or negative integer is positive.

So the absolute value of -14 is 14.

So we write (14) in parenthses like I have just done.

Next, we bring down the negative sign

that was outside the absolute value.

So we're left with -(14) or -14.

Martinez purchased a pair of shoes on a web site. the original price of the shoes was $75. she used a coupon code to recive 20%
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

$9 or 9% less

Step-by-step explanation:

Original Price = OP

$75= OP

75 x .2 (20% discount) = 15

$15 discount

$75 - $15 = $60

$60 x .1 (service fee) = 6

$60 + $6= $66

Op ($75) - $66 = 9

$9 less than OP

How I check the percentage (probaly not how ur supposed to but ah well)

75 = 100%

75 + 25 = 100 but 25 more than 100%

66 + 25 = 91, also makes 75 100% again

100%-91%=9%

Working as an insurance salesperson, Ilya earns a base salary and a commission on each new policy, so Ilya’s weekly income, II,
Morgarella [4.7K]

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.

Describe the roots of the polynomial function shown below.
Allisa [31]

Answer:

Graphically. As shown below, the roots of a polynomial are the values of x that make the polynomial zero, so they are where the graph crosses the x-axis, since this is where the y value (the result of the polynomial) is zero. The roots are the two green dots.
