A salesperson's weekly paycheck is 15% less than a second salesperson's paycheck. The two paychecks total $1425. Find the amount of each paycheck.

Answers

Answer 1
Set up a system of equations
Let x=first salesperson's paycheck
y=second salesperson's paycheck
x= y-.15y
x+y= 1425

Solve by substituting x
(y-.15y)+y= 1425
1.85y= 1425
y= 770.27

Substitute 770.27 for y in order to solve for x
x= (770.27)-.15(770.27)
x= 770.27-115.54
x=654.73

So the first salesperson(x) has a paycheck of $654.73 and the second salesperson(y) has a paycheck of $770.27.

Answers

C. Will be your answer. Hope I helped

Answer:  Joseph's residual is 1.86 (option d).

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to replace the variable "x" for Joseph’s age (23.5 months) in the equation given:

y = 63.80 + 0.61x.

y = 63.80 + 0.61 (23.5)

y = 63.80 + 14.335 = 78.135

Now, we subtract the amount obtained to Joseph's height ( 80 centimeters).

Mathematically speaking:

80 - 78.135 = 1.865  

So, Joseph’s residual is 1.86 (option d).

P: grass is green or Q: 3 is the square root of 10 (P ∨ Q)

P v Q is a disjunction, which is true whenever P or Q is true or both are true. P v Q is false only when P and Q are both false.

You know that Q is false, because 3 is not the square root of 10, so the only possibility for P v Q be true is that P is true.

What is Kaycie's net income?

Answers

Answer:

Net income of Kaycie is $1,195

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a monthly Income statement of September 2013.

First we count total income of Kaycie's

Income = Wages

Total Income = $2,700

Now we calculate total expenses

Kaycie's expenses are on food, rent clothing, transportation, medical and Insurance.

Expenses = Food+Rent+Clothing+Transportation+Medical+Insurance

Expenses=210+975+90+120+60+50

Total Expenses = $1,505

Net Income = Total Income - Total Expenses

Net Income = 2700 - 1505

Net Income = $1,195

Thus, Net income of Kaycie is $1,195.

At Travis's Hats, 60% of the 25 hats are baseball caps. How many baseball caps are there?

Answers

15 because if you multiply .6 times 25 it is 15. You get .6 because a percentage is of a 100 and 60/100 is 0.6
Well, 60% is the same thing as 60/100, which when you simplify becomes 3/5. So to find 60% of 25, just multiply 25 by 3/5.

25/1 * 3/5 = 75/5 = 15.
Therefore there are 15 baseball caps.

The planet Mercury has a diameter of 4,878 km whereas the Moon has a radius of 1736.5 km. Which object is larger and why?

Answers

First, to be able to compare these two things, you have to either find the radius of Mercury or find the diameter of the moon. I choose finding the diameter of the moon because it seems easier.

Diameter=radius*2
Diameter=1736.5*2=3473

The moon has a diameter of 3473 km.

Since Mercury's diameter, 4878km, is greater than the Moon's diameter, 3473km, Mercury is larger.

Hope this helps!

The planet Mercury is larger than the Moon, because the radius of Mercury is greater than the Moon.

Here,

Given that;

The planet Mercury has a diameter of 4,878 km.

And, The Moon has a radius of 1736.5 km.

We have to find the larger planet.

What is the relation between radius and diameter?

The radius is half or the diameter of the object.

Now,

The planet Mercury has a diameter of 4,878 km.

Hence, The radius of Mercury = 4,878/2 = 2,439 km

And,  The radius of the Moon = 1736.5 km

Clearly, 2,439 > 1,736.5

So, The planet Mercury is larger than the Moon, because the radius of Mercury is greater than the Moon.

In model trains, O scale means the models are made using a 1:48 scale. In the U.S., real train tracks have rails that are 4 ft 8 in apart.

a. If miniature train track was made using O scale, how far apart should the rails be? Round to the nearest hundredth of an inch.

b. The word gauge refers to how far apart the model rails are. For some reason, O gauge track does not exactly use O scale, and O gauge rails are 1.25 inches apart. Find the relative difference of the rail spacing on O gauge track compared to what it should be if it followed O scale. Round to the nearest tenth of a percent.

Answers

Final answer:

The correct O scale model train track spacing should be 1.17 inches. However, the actual O gauge spacing is 1.25 inches. The relative difference in the rail spacing is approximately 6.8%.

Explanation:

To solve for the correct O scale model train track spacing:

Convert the real train track gauge to inches: 4 feet x 12 inches/foot + 8 inches = 56 inches.

Divide the real gauge by the scale factor of 48 to find the model gauge: 56 inches / 48 = 1.1667 inches.

Round the result to the nearest hundredth of an inch: 1.17 inches.

Now to calculate the relative difference between O scale and the actual O gauge:

Determine the actual O gauge spacing: 1.25 inches.

Calculate the difference in spacing: 1.25 inches - 1.17 inches = 0.08 inches.

Find the relative difference by dividing the spacing difference by the O scale spacing and then multiply by 100 to get the percentage: (0.08 inches / 1.17 inches) x 100 = 6.8%.

Round the result to the nearest tenth of a percent: 6.8%.

Find the laplace transform of f(t)={0,(t−4),0≤t<4t≥4

Answers

The Laplace transform of  f(t) is [tex]\( \frac{4}{s}e^{-4s} \)[/tex].

Sure, let's find the Laplace transform of the piecewise function [tex]\( f(t) = \begin{cases} 0, & 0 \leq t < 4 \\ t - 4, & t \geq 4 \end{cases} \).[/tex]

Define the function for all ( t ):

[tex]\[ f(t) = \begin{cases} 0, & 0 \leq t < 4 \\ t - 4, & t \geq 4 \end{cases} = (t - 4)u(t-4) \][/tex]

where  u(t) is the unit step function.

Use the definition of the Laplace transform:

[tex]\[ \mathcal{L}\{f(t)\} = \int_0^\infty f(t)e^{-st} dt \][/tex]

Break the integral into two parts based on the piecewise definition of  f(t) :

[tex]\[ \mathcal{L}\{f(t)\} = \int_0^4 0 \cdot e^{-st} dt + \int_4^\infty (t - 4)e^{-st} dt \][/tex]

Solve each integral separately:

[tex]\[ \int_0^4 0 \cdot e^{-st} dt = 0 \][/tex]

[tex]\[ \int_4^\infty (t - 4)e^{-st} dt = \int_4^\infty te^{-st} dt - 4\int_4^\infty e^{-st} dt \][/tex]

Integrate:

[tex]\[ = \left[ -\frac{1}{s}te^{-st} \right]_4^\infty - \left[ -\frac{4}{s}e^{-st} \right]_4^\infty \][/tex]

[tex]\[ = \left(0 - \left(-\frac{4}{s}e^{-4s}\right)\right) - \left(0 - \left(-\frac{4}{s}e^{-4s}\right)\right) \][/tex]

[tex]\[ = \frac{4}{s}e^{-4s} \][/tex]

Combine the results:

[tex]\[ \mathcal{L}\{f(t)\} = \frac{4}{s}e^{-4s} \][/tex]

So, the Laplace transform of  f(t) is [tex]\( \frac{4}{s}e^{-4s} \)[/tex].

The Laplace transform of the given piecewise function f(t) is found using the Heaviside step function and shifting theorem, yielding[tex]\[ \mathcal{L}\{f(t)\} = \frac{6}{s^4} \][/tex]

To find the Laplace transform of the function f(t), we'll break it down into two parts: one for  t < 4  and another for [tex]\( t \geq 4 \).[/tex]

For  t < 4 ,  f(t) = 0 , so its Laplace transform is simply 0.

For [tex]\( t \geq 4 \), \( f(t) = (t - 4)^3 \)[/tex]. We'll use the property of the Laplace transform that states [tex]\( \mathcal{L}\{t^n\} = \frac{n!}{s^{n+1}} \). So, for \( f(t) = (t - 4)^3 \)[/tex], we get:

[tex]\[ \mathcal{L}\{(t - 4)^3\} = \frac{3!}{s^{3+1}} \\\[ = \frac{6}{s^4} \][/tex]

Now, we can combine both parts:

[tex]\[ \mathcal{L}\{f(t)\} = 0 \quad \text{for } t < 4 \\\[ \mathcal{L}\{f(t)\} = \frac{6}{s^4} \quad \text{for } t \geq 4 \\\text{Therefore, the Laplace transform of}\; \( f(t) \) is:\[ \mathcal{L}\{f(t)\} = \frac{6}{s^4} \][/tex]

Also, indicate where f(x) has local maximum and local minimum points. Also, can you please help me determine the interval(s) on which f(x) is increasing and on which f(x) is decreasing.

Answers

[tex]\bf f(x)=3x^5-5x^3+3 \\\\\\ \cfrac{dy}{dx}=15x^4-15x^2\qquad \textit{critical points}\implies 0=15x^4-15x^2 \\\\\\ 0=x^4-x^2\implies 0=x^2(x^2-1)\implies x= \begin{cases} 0\\ -1\\ +1 \end{cases} \\\\\\ \cfrac{dy^2}{dx^2}= 60x^3-30x\qquad \textit{inflection points}\implies 0=60x^3-30x \\\\\\ 0=2x^3-x\implies 0=x(2x^2-1)\quad \begin{cases} 0=x\\ ----------\\ 0=2x^2-1\\ 1=2x^2\\ \frac{1}{2}=x^2\\ \pm\sqrt{\frac{1}{2}}=x\\\\ \pm\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}=x \end{cases}[/tex]

now, if you do a first-derivative test on those critical points, check the regions next to them, for example I checked x = 0.5 and x = -0.5, and both gave -2.8125, the value doesn't matter for the test, what matters is the sign, is negative, meaning on that region, the graph has a negative slope and thus is going downwards.

and then I checked x = 2 and x = -2, and both gave 180, which is positive, meaning the original graph is going up there, slope is increasing once you go passed the 1 or -1.

now, checking the inflection points when doing the second-derivative test, x = -1 gives -30, negative,    concave down
x = -0.5 gives 7.5, positive, concave up
x = 0.5 gives -7.5, negative, concave down
x = 1 gives 30, positive,  concave up

check the picture below, the arrows show the direction the slope going, and therefore how the original function is moving.

notice, before -1 is going up, reaches -1, then it goes down, meaning that's a peak, or maximum.

before 1 is going down, reaches 1 it dives, then goes back up, that's a minimum.

To solve the equation 3/4x + 5/6 = 5x - 125/3 for x, you can start by getting rid of the fractions. Multiply every term in the equation by the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators, which in this case is 12. Combine like terms and solve for x.

Explanation:

To solve the equation 3/4x + 5/6 = 5x - 125/3 for x, you can start by getting rid of the fractions. To do this, multiply every term in the equation by the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators, which in this case is 12. This gives you:

9x + 10 = 60x - 500

Next, combine like terms by subtracting 9x from both sides of the equation:

Then, add 500 to both sides of the equation:

510 = 51x

Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 51 to solve for x:
