Answer:

Let x= total cost of cars y= total commission paid out for all cars sold

and 6%= 6/100 = .06 Usually, you want to change percents to decimals

Percents usually involve multiplication You are multiplying the cost of the cars by the commission.

Set up an equation: y= .06(x) Given: x= $125,650

Now, just substitute into the y= .06(x) Given: x= $125,650, and multiply $125,650 by .06, and you're done!

I hope that this helps!

Let
x= total cost of cars
y= total commission paid out for all cars sold

6%= 6/100 = .06

Set up an equation:
y= .06(x)

Given: x= $125,650

substitute into the y= .06(x)

multiply $125,650 by .06.

The answers would be: 7539

hope this helped :)

A steady wind blows a kite due west. the kite's height above ground from horizontal position x = 0 to x = 120 ft is given by y =

professor190 [17]

The derivative of the vertical position is
.. y' = 2/40*(x -50)
so the integral that gives the length of the curve the kite traveled is
$distance= \int\limits^{120}_{0} {\sqrt{1+(\frac{1}{20}(x-50))^{2}} \, dx$

It is convenient to let a graphing calculator compute this integral numerically. If you want to do it analytically, a table of integrals can be handy. The indefinite integral is
$\frac{x-50}{40} \sqrt{(x-50)^{2}+400} +10 arcsinh(\frac{x-50}{20})$
This evaluates to
$\frac{1}{2}(25 \sqrt{29} +35 \sqrt{53}) +10(arcsinh( \frac{5}{2}) +arcsinh( \frac{7}{2})) \approx 230.8$ feet
