Answer:

a). Nadia made a total of $825 last week in commission sales

b). The total amount Nadia in commission in 2011=$42,900

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Express the amount in commission she earns from her sales as follows;

C=S×r

where;

C=commission earned

S=total value of stock sales

r=commission rate

In our case;

C=unknown

S=$7,500

r=11%=11/100=0.11

replacing;

C=11% of 7,500

C=(11/100)×7,500

C=0.11×7,500=825

Nadia made a total of $825 last week in commission sales

b). To express the total amount she made in 2011, we derive the formula below;

Total amount (2011)=Average weekly commission×number of weeks in 2011

where;

Average weekly commission=$825

number of weeks in 2011=52

replacing;

Total amount (2011)=(825×52)=42,900

The total amount Nadia in commission in 2011=$42,900

A line that passes through the point (4, 2) and has the slope of -3/2

mash [69]

The answer is: y = -3/2 x + 8

Graph:

To find the answer we use the formula;

y-y1 = M1 (x - x1)

y-2 = -3/2 (x-4)

When fully solved: the answer is:
y = -3/2 x + 8

Somebody pls!! “Write the equation of the line in fully simplified slope-<br> intercept form.”

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

y = 3/5x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b where m is the slope (rise / run of the line) and b is y-intercept (y value of where the line intersects with the y-axis.

The line is rising up 3 and run to the right 5 and so it's slope is 3/5. The line intersects with the y-axis at a y value of 5 and so it's y-intercept is 5.

Therefore, your answer in slope-intercept form is y = 3/5x + 5.

Problem 10: A tank initially contains a solution of 10 pounds of salt in 60 gallons of water. Water with 1/2 pound of salt per g

AysviL [449]

Answer:

The quantity of salt at time t is $m_{salt} = (60)\cdot (30 - 29.833\cdot e^{-\frac{t}{10} })$ , where t is measured in minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The law of mass conservation for control volume indicates that:

$\dot m_{in} - \dot m_{out} = \left(\frac{dm}{dt} \right)_{CV}$

Where mass flow is the product of salt concentration and water volume flow.

The model of the tank according to the statement is:

$(0.5\,\frac{pd}{gal} )\cdot \left(6\,\frac{gal}{min} \right) - c\cdot \left(6\,\frac{gal}{min} \right) = V\cdot \frac{dc}{dt}$

Where:

$c$ - The salt concentration in the tank, as well at the exit of the tank, measured in $\frac{pd}{gal}$ .

$\frac{dc}{dt}$ - Concentration rate of change in the tank, measured in $\frac{pd}{min}$ .

$V$ - Volume of the tank, measured in gallons.

The following first-order linear non-homogeneous differential equation is found:

$V \cdot \frac{dc}{dt} + 6\cdot c = 3$

$60\cdot \frac{dc}{dt} + 6\cdot c = 3$

$\frac{dc}{dt} + \frac{1}{10}\cdot c = 3$

This equation is solved as follows:

$e^{\frac{t}{10} }\cdot \left(\frac{dc}{dt} +\frac{1}{10} \cdot c \right) = 3 \cdot e^{\frac{t}{10} }$

$\frac{d}{dt}\left(e^{\frac{t}{10}}\cdot c\right) = 3\cdot e^{\frac{t}{10} }$

$e^{\frac{t}{10} }\cdot c = 3 \cdot \int {e^{\frac{t}{10} }} \, dt$

$e^{\frac{t}{10} }\cdot c = 30\cdot e^{\frac{t}{10} } + C$

$c = 30 + C\cdot e^{-\frac{t}{10} }$

The initial concentration in the tank is:

$c_{o} = \frac{10\,pd}{60\,gal}$

$c_{o} = 0.167\,\frac{pd}{gal}$

Now, the integration constant is:

$0.167 = 30 + C$

$C = -29.833$

The solution of the differential equation is:

$c(t) = 30 - 29.833\cdot e^{-\frac{t}{10} }$

Now, the quantity of salt at time t is:

$m_{salt} = V_{tank}\cdot c(t)$

$m_{salt} = (60)\cdot (30 - 29.833\cdot e^{-\frac{t}{10} })$

Where t is measured in minutes.
