i am a mathematics teacher. if anything to ask please pm me
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"
I'm pretty sure 10/63 is simplified.
(14 meter/sec) x (1 mile/1609.344 meter) x (3,600 sec/hour) =
(14 x 3600) / (1609.344) = <em>31.32 mile/hour </em>(rounded)
If the co-vertices are (0, 3) and (0, -3) where x is 0 and y has a value, then y is the minor axis. That means that the x axis is the major axis. Because of what the co-vertices are, the center of the ellipse is at the origin. The formula for an ellipse that has a horizontal major axis is
. The a value will always be larger than the b value, therefore, the a value goes under the coordinate that is the major axis. Here, its the x-axis. a is the distance that the outer edge of the ellipse is from the center. It's 8 units away from the center along the x axis and 3 units along the y axis from the center. So a = 8 and a^2 = 64; b = 3 and b^2 = 9. Our formula then is
