Given:

Jamie receives 15% commission on magazine subscriptions.

One week her sales totaled $860.

To find:

Her commission.

Solution:

We have,

Total sales of one week = $860

Rate of commission = 15%

Now,

$Commission=\dfrac{15}{100}\times 860$

$Commission=\dfrac{15}{10}\times 86$

$Commission=\dfrac{1290}{10}$

$Commission=129$

Therefore, the amount of commission is $129.

c. Using a standard deck of 52 cards, the probability of selecting a 4 of diamonds or a 4 of hearts is an example of a mutually

dybincka [34]

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

If two events X and Y are mutually exclusive,

Then,

P(X∪Y) = P(X) + P(Y)

Let A represents the event of a diamond card and B represent the event of a heart card,

We know that,

In a deck of 52 cards there are 4 suit ( 13 Club cards, 13 heart cards, 13 diamond cards and 13 Spade cards )

That is, those cards which are heart can not be diamond card,

⇒ A ∩ B = ∅

⇒ P(A∩B) = 0

Since, P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

⇒ P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B)

By the above statement,

Events A and B are mutually exclusive,

Hence, the probability of selecting a 4 of diamonds or a 4 of hearts is an example of a mutually exclusive event is a true statement.

Soloha48 [4]

Answer: 6+ 2y

Step-by-step explanation:

The tree starts off at 6 feet so that doesn't change but it grows constantly 2 feet per year so add 2y to 6 and plug in the number of years for y.

Solve the simultaneous equations<br> y = 4x + 1<br> y = 2x^2+ 7x - 1

mixer [17]

Answer:

$Given,\\y = 4x+1......(1)\\y = 2x^2+7x-1.............(2)\\Equating~equation (1)~and~(2),\\4x+1 = 2x^{2} +7x-1\\or, 2x^{2}+7x-4x-1-1=0\\or, 2x^{2} + 3x-2=0\\or, 2x^{2} +4x-x-2=0\\or, 2x(x+2)-1(x+2)=0\\or, (x+2)(2x-1)=0\\i.e. x=-2 ~or~ \frac{1}{2} \\When~x=2,~equation(1)~becomes ~y=4(-2) +1=-7\\When~x=-\frac{1}{2},~equation (1)~becomes~y=4(\frac{1}{2}) +1 = 2+1=3$

So, the required values of x are -2 and 1/2 and that of y are -7 and 3.

Given that (0,3) is on the graph of f(x), find the corresponding point for the function f(x)-2

natima [27]

Answer:

(0 , 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

given y = f(x), then

y = f(x) + c is a vertical translation

• If c > 0 then vertical shift up of a units

• If c < 0 then vertical shift down of a units

here c = - 2, hence shift down of f(x) by 2 units

(0, 3) → (0, 3 - 2 ) = (0, 1)
