(x - 120) -(2/3)*(x - 120) = (1/5)*(x)

x - 120 - 2x/3 + 80 = x/5

Like terms

2x/15 = 40

2x = 600

x = 300

A salesman has a base salary $2600 per month and makes 3 commission on each unit sold. If his total annual compensation is $48,0

nevsk [136]

Answer:

Each unit cost $800

Step-by-step explanation:

Annual compensation = $48,000

Annual number of units sold = 2000

Commission on each item sold = 3%

Compensation for 2000 units = $48,000

Compensation for 1 unit = $48,000/2000 = $24

Cost of one unit = compensation for one unit ÷ commission on one unit = $24 ÷ 3% = $24 ÷ 0.03 = $800

A hole is drilled in a sheet-metal component, and then a shaft is inserted through the hole. The shaft clearance is equal to dif

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

(A)

$P(X \geq 0.8) = \int\limits_{0.8}^{\infty} f(x) \, dx = \int\limits_{0.8}^{1} 1.25(1-x^4) \, dx = 0.08192$

(B)

Then the cumulative function would be

$CF(x) = 1.25x - 0.25x^5$ if 0<x<1

0 otherwise.

Step-by-step explanation:

(A)

We are looking for the probability that the random variable X is greater than 0.8.

$P(X \geq 0.8) = \int\limits_{0.8}^{\infty} f(x) \, dx = \int\limits_{0.8}^{1} 1.25(1-x^4) \, dx = 0.08192$

(B)

For any $x$ you are looking for the probability $P(X \geq x)$ which is

$P(X \geq x) = \int\limits_{-\infty}^{x} 1.25(1-t^4) dt = \int\limits_{0}^{x} 1.25(1-t^4) dt = 1.25x - 0.25x^2$

Then the cumulative function would be

$CF(x) = 1.25x - 0.25x^5$ if 0<x<1

0 otherwise.

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

109.9 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of an arc that is 1/4 of a circle of radius 70 ft is ...

s = rθ

s = (70 ft)(π/2) = 35π ft ≈ 109.9557 ft

The best answer choice appears to be 109.9 feet.
