Answer:

$1800

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Approanch

An easy way to calculate one's salary after they recive a raise is to, convert the percent that one's salary is increased into a decimal; divide the percent by 100. Then multiply the increase as a decimal by the original salary, to attain the amount the salary is raised by. Finally add the amount the salary is raised by to the original salary to find the new salary. A quicker way to do this is to convert the percent by the salary is increased into a decimal. Then add 1 to that number. Finally one will multiply that number by the original slary and get the new salary.

2. Solving

Original salary; 1500

Raise; 20%

a. convert the raise as a percent into a decimal, then add 1

20% = 0.2

0.2 + 1 = 1.2

b. multiply the number by the original salary

1.2 * 1500

1800

Answer:

$ 1800

Step-by-step explanation:

Rise in payment = 20% of 1500

$= \frac{20}{100}*1500\\\\=20 *15\\\\= $300$

New weekly wage = 1500 + 300

= $ 1800

What is a irregular concave polygon

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

An irregular polygon is any polygon that is not a regular polygon. It can have sides of any length and each interior angle can be any measure. They can be convex or concave, but all concave polygons are irregular since the interior angles cannot all be the same.

Can anyone help me by just saying number 1,2,3,4,5 you have to show work

Artist 52 [7]

2(x - 5) = 110

2x - 10 = 110

Add 10 to both sides.

2x = 120

Divide by 2 on both sides.

x = 60

Which function is undefined for x = 0? y=3√x-2 y=√x-2 y=3√x+2 y=√x=2

Andre45 [30]

For this case, we must indicate which of the given functions is not defined for $x = 0$

By definition, we know that:

$f (x) = \sqrt {x}$ has a domain from 0 to infinity.

Adding or removing numbers to the variable within the root implies a translation of the function vertically or horizontally. For it to be defined, the term within the root must be positive.

Thus, we observe that:

$y = \sqrt {x-2}$ is not defined, the term inside the root is negative when $x = 0$ .

While $y = \sqrt {x + 2}$ if it is defined for $x = 0.$

$f(x)=\sqrt[3]{x}$ , your domain is given by all real numbers.

Adding or removing numbers to the variable within the root implies a translation of the function vertically or horizontally. In the same way, its domain will be given by the real numbers, independently of the sign of the term inside the root.

So, we have:

$y = \sqrt [3] {x-2}$ with x = 0: $y = \sqrt [3] {- 2}$ is defined.

$y = \sqrt [3] {x + 2}$ with x = 0: $y = \sqrt [3] {2}$ in the same way is defined.

Answer:

$y = \sqrt {x-2}$
