Answer:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nick billups is paid a salary of $900 a month, a 2 % commission on all sales, and 1.8 % more on monthly sales over $ 17,500.

In June, his sales were $ 48,500.

So, commission earned = 0.02\times48500=970 dollars

0.018\times(48500-17500) = $558

Total salary for June = 900+970+558 = $2428

Total commission for June = 970+558 = $1528

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In July, his sales were 50,200.

So, commission earned = 0.02\times50200=1004 dollars

0.018\times(50200-17500) = $588.60

Total salary for July = 900+1004+588.60 = $2492.60

Total commission for July = 1004+588.60 = $1592.60

June :
900 + 0.02(48,500) + 0.018(48500 - 17500) = 
900 + 970 + 558 = 2428 <==

July :
900 + .02(50,200) + 0.018(50200 - 17500) =
900 + 1004 + 588.60 = 2492.60 <===

9966 [12]
The terms in a geometric sequence are given by: A = ar^(n-1)
where A is the nth term in the sequence.
a = first term in the sequence (-2)
r = common ratio (-5)
n = number of the term (4)

A = (-2)(-5)^(4-1)
A = (-2)(-5)^(3)
A = (-2)(-125)
A = 250

Graph a system of equations to solve log (−5.6x + 1.3) = −1 − x. Round to the nearest tenth. From the least to the greatest, the
natima [27]

Answer:

  • See the graph attached
  • x₁ ≈ - 2.1
  • x₂ ≈ 0.2

Explanation:

To solve log (−5.6x + 1.3) = −1 − x graphycally, you must graph this system of equations on the same coordinate plane:

  • Equation 1: y = log (5.6x + 1.3)
  • Equatin2:    y = - 1 - x

1) To graph the equation 1 you can use these features of logarithmfunctions:

  • Domain: positive values ⇒ -5.6x + 1.3 > 0 ⇒ x < 13/56 (≈ 0.23)

  • Range: all real numbers (- ∞ , ∞)

  • x-intercept:

        log ( -5.6x + 1.3) = 0 ⇒ -5.6x + 1.3 = 1 ⇒x = 0.3/5.6 ≈ 0.054

  • y-intercept:

       x = 0 ⇒ log (0 + 1.3) = log (1.3) ≈ 0.11

  • Pick some other values and build a table:

        x            log (-5.6x + 1.3)

        -1           0.8

        -2           1.1

        -3           1.3

  • You can see such graph on the picture attached: it is the red curve.

2) Graphing the equation 2 is easier because it is a line: y = - 1 - x

  • slope, m = - 1 (the coeficient of x)
  • y - intercept, b = - 1 (the constant term)
  • x - intercept: y = 0 = - 1 - x ⇒ x = - 1
  • The graph is the blue line on the picture.

3) The solution or solutions of the equations are the intersection points of the two graphs. So, now the graph method just requires that you read the x coordinates of the intersection points. From the least to the greatest, rounded to the nearest tenth, they are:

  • <u><em>x₁ ≈ - 2.1</em></u>
  • <u><em>x₂ ≈ 0.2</em></u>

Maslowich

Answer:

Part A:

2^{40}-2\\=1.0995*10^{12} ancestors

Part B:

Generations Age=25*39=975 years

Part C:

  1. Some ancestors on different branches of the family tree must be the same.
  2. There could not have been 39 generations in my line of ancestry.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Data:

Two Parents, Four Grand Parents, Eight great Grand Parents.

Generation=39

Solution:

Part A:

From given data Following series is made:

2+2^2+2^3+.........+2^{39}

Now, Above series will become:

2[1+2+2^2+......+2^{38}]

From geometric Sequence:

2[\frac{2^{38+1}-1}{2-1} ]

2^{40}-2\\=1.0995*10^{12} ancestors

Part B:

Generations Age=years*Number of generations

Generations Age=25*39=975 years

Part C:

Number of people lived= 10^11

Ancestors=1.0995*10^{12} ancestors

10^{11}

It means ancestors are not distinct, it means:

  1. Some ancestors on different branches of the family tree must be the same.
  2. There could not have been 39 generations in my line of ancestry.

ipn [44]

Answer:

t =log(20) / 0.3 = 10*log(20) / log(1,000) - years - when the tree will have 100 branches.

Step-by-step explanation:

100 = 5 * 10^(0.3t), solve for t

Divide both sides by 5:

20 =10^(0.3t)

Take the log of both sides:

0.3t =log(20)

Divide both sides by 0.3:

Multiply the RHS by 10 / 10

t =log(20) / 0.3 = 10*log(20) / log(1,000) - years - when the tree will have 100 branches.
