Answer:
- The arcs on the Golden Gate Bridge.
Explanation:
I think about the Golden Gate Bridge, which is a suspension bridge.
As in any suspension bridge, a long cable is supported by two large supports.
The cable falls from a support, in the form of a curve concave upwards, to a minimum point that is the vertex of the<em> parabola</em>, through which the axis of <em>symmetry</em> passes, and curves again upwards to ascend to the upper end of the other support.
As a <em>unique feature</em> of this parabolic arc you can tell that the the concavity is upward; the parabola open upward.
Also, you can tell that the parabola is vertical, which means that the axis of symmetry is vertical.
The <em>symmetry</em> is clear because to the curve to the left of the vertex is a mirror image of the curve to the right of the vertex.
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"
