Answer:

p is approximately equal to 1.125,  -1.925

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this first by expanding, giving us a quadratic equation in the usual ax² + bx + c format, then solving that for p:

(4p - 4)(13p + 27) = 0

52p² + 108p - 52p - 108 = 0

52p² + 52p - 108 = 0

13p² + 13p - 27 = 0

13p² + 13p  = 27

p² + p = 27 / 13

p² + p + 1/4 = 27/13 + 1/4

(p + 1/2)² = 108 / 52 + 13 / 52

(p + 1/2)² = 121 / 52

p + 1/2 = ± √(121 / 52)

p = -1/2 ± 11√(1/13) / 2

At that point we can simply plug those numbers into a calculator and solve it:

p ≈ 1.125,  -1.925

Matt walker is paid weekly and earns 3.5% straight commission on sales of $6,500 or less and 5% on sales in excess of $6500.last
Nina [5.8K]
His total sales were "x"

now, we know that 3.5% of "x" plus 5% of "x", will add up to his total commission, including sales of 6500 or less or more

so the commission for 6500 or less, is 3.5% of "x" or (3.5/100)*x -> 0.035x
the commission for above 6500 is 5% or (5/100) * x --> 0.05x

we know, that both commissions added together, are $415

thus

0.035x + 0.05x = 415  <-----   solve for "x"

Find two numbers a and b such that a+b=0 and ab=36
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

b = 6i   then a = -6i

b = -6i   then a = 6i

Step-by-step explanation:

a+b=0

ab=36

a = -b

a(b) = 36

-b * b = 36

- b^2 = 36

b^2 = -36

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(-36)

b =± 6i

a = - (± 6i)

so b = 6i   then a = -6i

b = -6i   then a = 6i
