14) Bill is looking to work at two different car dealerships. The Subaru dealership is going
1 answer:
Answer:
1) $1,200 + x × 4.5/100 > $1,600
2) Bill has to make more than $8,888., in total sales monthly for it to be a better choice to work at Subaru
Step-by-step explanation:
1) The given parameters are;
The amount of monthly pay the Subaru dealership is offering = $1,200
The percentage of his total sales, x, Subaru dealership is offering = 4.5%
The flat monthly pay the BMW dealership is offering = $1,600
Therefore, the inequality to show when it would be better for him to choose to work for Subaru is given as follows;
$1,200 + x × 4.5/100 > $1,600
2) The solution of the above inequality is given as follows;
$1,200 + x × 4.5/100 > $1,600
x × 4.5/100 > $1,600 - $1,200
x × 4.5/100 > $400
x > $400 × 100/4.5 = $8,888.
Therefore, in order to make it better to work at Subaru, Bill has to sell more than $8,888. worth of cars every month.

Answer:
f(x) = -(x +1)(x -5)
Step-by-step explanation:
The zeros at x = -1 and x = 5 tell us we can write this quadratic function as ...
f(x) = a(x +1)(x -5)
for some scale factor "a".
When we put x=1 into the equation, we get ...
f(1) = a(1+1)(1-4) = -8a
But we know that f(1) = 8, so ...
8 = -8a
-1 = a . . . . . . divide by -8
Now, we can write the function as ...
f(x) = -(x +1)(x -5)
_____
If you like, you can expand this to ...
f(x) = -(x^2 -4x -5)
f(x) = -x^2 +4x +5 . . . . . "standard form"
