Three salesmen work for the same company, selling the same product. And, although they are all paid on a weekly basis, each salesman earns his paycheck differently. Salesman A works strictly on commission. He earns $65 per sale, with a maximum weekly commission of $1,300. Salesman B earns a weekly base salary of $300, plus a commission of $40 per sale. There are no limits on the amount of commission he can earn. Salesman C does not earn any commission. His weekly salary is $900.

Verbally describe what each ordered pair in the first row of your table (when s = 0) means in terms of the situation. Use complete sentences in your answer.

Answers

Answer:

12 sales

Let x represent the number of sales each man had.

For Salesman A, he earns $65 per sale; this is 65x.

For Salesman B, he earns $40 per sale; this is 40x.  We also add to this his weekly salary of $300; this gives us 40x+300.

Since their pay was equal, set the two expressions equal:

65x = 40x+300

Subtract 40x from each side:

65x-40x = 40x+300-40x

25x = 300

Divide both sides by 25:

25x/25 = 300/25

x = 12

Answers

Answer:

The strong linear relationships are:

r = 0.95

r=-0.83

Step-by-step explanation:

When we have points whit apparent linear tents, we can fit the curve to a line and when the correlation coefficient (r) is equal to 1, we have perfect correlation and when r is equal to 0 we do not have a correlation.

Therefore r =  0.95 suggest strong linear relationships.

Now, we can use the same analysis with a negative value of r, so r = -0.83 is strong too.

Gunther's starting weight is 248 pounds, and he plans to lose 2 pounds each week. Use a linear equation to determine Gunther's weight after 10 weeks. What linear equation??

NEED HELP ASAP DUE TODAY!!! PLEASE AND THANK YOU :)

Answers

Answer:

......

Step-by-step explanation:

With these types of problems, it's best to label the unknowns and figure out an equation for what we want to find. Here, we're interested in weight in pounds, which I'll call W, as a function of the number of weeks that have gone by, which I'll call n. So if we can get an equation that relates W to n, we can answer the question of "how many weeks to reach 175 pounds?" by plugging in W = 175 to our equation and solving to find out what value of n gives us that.

Suppose Alex weighs P pounds at the start of his diet. We don't know what P is yet, but we'll aim to find its value later with the information the question gives us.

After 1 week, Alex will lose 2 pounds and will weigh P - 2 pounds

After 2 weeks, Alex will lose another 2 pounds and weigh (P - 2) - 2 = P - 4 pounds

After 3 weeks, Alex will weigh (P - 4) - 2 = P - 6 pounds

You can see the pattern here: after every week, knock off 2 pounds. So in general after n weeks, Alex will lose 2n pounds from his start weight, and he will weigh P - 2n

That gives the equation W = P - 2n, or equivalently

W = -2n + P

We can recognize this as a linear equation, which takes the form y = mx + b, where:

- x is the independent variable,

- y is the dependent variable (the thing that changes as a function of x),

- m is the slope (how much y changes for every unit change in x), and

- b is the y-intercept (that is, the value of y when x = 0).

In our equation W = -2n + P, the number of weeks n is the independent variable, weight W is the dependent variable (it varies as a function of the number of weeks), -2 is the slope (because Alex weight 2 pounds less for every week that goes by), and P - whose value we don't know yet - is Alex's starting weight (i.e., the value of W when n = 0).

To find the value of P, we can use the information in the question that after 6 weeks, Alex weighs 205 pounds. In other words, when n = 6, W = 205. Plug that into our equation and get:

205 = P - 2*6

We can solve that for P:

205 = P - 12

Add 12 to both sides:

P = 205 + 12 = 227

So Alex weighs 227 pounds when he starts the diet, and we have

W = -2n + 227

This is the linear equation the question is asking for.

To find how many weeks Alex needs to reach his target weight of 175 pounds, set W = 175 in the equation and solve it for n:

175 = -2n + 227

Move the -2n over to the other side:

2n + 175 = 227

Subtract 175 from both sides:

2n = 227 - 175

2n = 52

Divide both sides by 2:

2n/2 = 52/2

n = 26

So if he keeps losing 2 pounds per week, Alex will reach his target weight of 175 pounds after 26 weeks.

Of course in real life weight loss doesn't necessarily work like in this question (usually, the rate of loss slows down closer to the goal and the body adapts to eating less). But for the purposes of this question and with this simple linear model of weight loss, Alex would reach his goal weight in half a year.

• Bill says, "My number divides by every integer from 1 to 10 except
for 9.
• Cathy says, 'You have both done better than me, but I can see that
if we added our three numbers together, the total would divide by
all the numbers from 1 to 10.'
What numbers from 1 to 10 does Cathy's number not divide by?

Answers

Answer:

Cathy's number is not divide by 7 and 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Anh’s number is divisible by all numbers from 1 to 10 except 7.  

Hence, Anh’s number is 8*9*10 = 720

Bill’s number  does not divide by 9, hence his number would be = 3*8*5*7 = 840

The sum of numbers of all three is divisible by all numbers between 1 to10  

So the sum number is = 10*9*8*7 = 5040

Number of Cathy = 2520  – 720 -840 = 960

960 is not divisible by 7 and 9

Slope of a line parallel is -5/9.

Slope of a line perpendicular is 9/5.

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 9y = 1

To find the slope of this line we convert the equation to slope-intercept form ( y = mx + c where m is the slope).

9y = -5x + 1

y = -5/9 x + 1/9

So its slope (m)  is -5/9.

So slope of a line parallel to this is also -5/9.

Slope of a line perpendicular = -1 / -5/9

= 9/5.

Find the 8th term of the arithmetic sequence - 2x + 7,4x + 1, 10x – 5, ...

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a1 = -2x + 7

d = 4x + 1 - (-2x + 7)

d = 4x + 1 + 2x - 7

d = 6x - 6

n = 8

a8 = -2x + 7 + (n-1)*d

a8 = -2x + 7 + (8 -1 ) * (6x - 6)

a8 = -2x + 7 + 7 * (6x - 6)

a8 = -2x + 7 + 42x - 42

a8 = 40x - 35

f(2) = 2² + 2 = 6

g(3) = 2 – 3 = -1
