As a salesperson for an electronic parts distributor, you are given two options for your salary structure. The first option has

a base salary of $300 a week plus 4% of all sales made. The second option has a base salary of $100 plus 7.5% commission on all sales. Find the sales amount that will result in the two options having the same weekly salary.

Answer:

The amount of sale is approximately 5714.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the sales made that will result to the same salary and let y be the same weekly salary.

We can represent both salaries as follows:

300 + 0.04x = y

100 + 0.075x = y

Subtracting the second equation from the first, we have:

200 – 0.035x = 0

0.035x= 200

x = 200/0.035

x ≈ 5714.

Therefore, the amount of sale is approximately 5714.

What is the inverse of the function below?<br><br> f(x) = 2^x + 6
Helen [10]

The inverse of this function would be f(x) = \frac{Log(x - 6)}{Log2}.



You can find the value of any inverse function by switching the f(x) and the x value. Then you can solve for the new f(x) value. The end result will be your new inverse function. The step-by-step process is below.



f(x) = 2^{x} - 6 ----> Switch f(x) and x



x = 2^{f(x)} - 6 ----> Add 6 to both sides



x + 6 = 2^{f(x)} -----> Take the logarithm of both sides in order to get the f(x) out of the exponent



Log(x + 6) = f(x)Log2 ----> Now divide both sides by Log2



\frac{Log(x + 6)}{Log2} = f(x) ----> And switch the order for formatting purposes.



f(x) = \frac{Log(x + 6)}{Log2}



And that would be your new inverse function.

So sorry to ask another question but I need some help-
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

14x + 23

Step-by-step explanation:

The lengths of three sides of a triangle are 5x + 9 feet, 2x + 14 feet, and 7x feet.

The perimeter of a triangle: the sum of all of its sides.

5x + 9 + 2x + 14 + 7x

14x + 23

It's the expression of the perimeter of the triangle. Once you will be asked to find x, you'll probably be given the exact perimeter of the triangle.
