January 19: On January 1, North Country Hotel and Resort hired an independent contractor to develop scheduling software. This is a year contract for $120,000/annual. The contractor is paid bi-weekly on Fridays. The first pay period is for the week January 1-5 and January 8-12. Payday is January 19. Independent contractors are not employees, so the accounts payable department would normally issue the checks and generate a 1099 at the end of the year. Calculate the first paycheck payment to the independent contractor and record the journal entry. For our example, you can use Salaries and Wages Expense and Cash accounts.

Answers

The first paycheck payment to the independent contractor is $4,615.38

Dr. salaries and wages expense $4,615.38

Cr. salaries and wages payable                     $4,615.38

What is the amount of first  bi-weekly pay to the contractors?

On the basis that there are 52 weeks in a year, hence, there would be 26 bi-weeks in a year, in order to determine the amount of first paycheck payment to the independent contractor, we simply divide the annual cost of contract by 26 bi-weeks in a year.

first paycheck payment =annual contract fees/26 bi-weeks

first paycheck payment =$120,000/26

first paycheck payment =$4,615.38

The paycheck refers to first 2 weeks which ends on on 12th January, whereas the actual payment would occur a week later on 19th of January, as a result, the amount is owed until 19th January, which means that salaries and wages expense would be debited and salaries and wages payable would be credited until actual payment is made on the 19th of January.

What is a function?

 A function is a mathematical expression or equation that allows us to visualize graphically the behavior of a function. A function is not real when it cuts the vertical axis at the same point of x.

   A function can be linear or quadratic, this is evidenced by the higher exponential degree, in our case we have the following function:

f(x) = -2(3+x)²+2x² we solve the function that seems to be quadratic because it has the highest degree the number "2" in the variable, however we will solve its reduction.

We solve the trinomial and substitute

(3+x)² = (9 + 6x + x²)

-2(9 + 6x + x²) + 2x²

-18 - 12x - 2x² + 2x² + 2x²

Find the magnitude and direction of the following vector.
-AB : A<-1,10> and B(1,-12)

Answers

AB has a magnitude of 9√6 according to estimates.

AB's vector direction is given as Ф = 84.80° (angle which lies in the 4th quadrant with clockwise direction).

What basically does a distance formula mean?

In complex numbers, the distance formula is employed to demonstrate the plane as well as its magnitude. Furthermore, distance formulas can be used to calculate the distance between two planes in three-dimensional and n-dimensional planes.

Now, in response to the given question;

J and K have (-1,10) and (1,-12) coordinates, respectively.

The distance formula for the points A and B is as follows:

AB² = (x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²

AB = √[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²]

The coordinates for the points A and B's  are-

(x₁,y₁) = (-1,10)   and (x₂,y₂) = (1,-12).

Substituting the given values in the distance formula;

AB = √[(1 + 1)² + (-12 - 10)²]

AB = √[(2)² + (-22)²]

AB = √[4 + 484] = √486

AB  = 9√6 (magnitude of the vector AB)

Estimate this same vector AB's direction now. The direction of a vector is defined by the angle formed by it with a horizontal line.

To determine the direction of a vector, utilize one of the formula given.

tan Ф = Δy/Δx

Where, x = horizontal change

and, y = vertical change

tan Ф = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

       = (-12 - 10)/(1 + 1)

tan Ф = -22/(2) = -11

Ф = 84.80°  (angle which lies in the 4th quadrant with clockwise direction).

As a result, this same distance between A and B is discovered to be 9√6 (the same as the magnitude of a given vector AB).

Let x represent the length of one side of the square patio. Write expressions
for the length and width of the new patio. Then find the area of the new patio
if the original patio measures 8 feet by 8 feet.

Answers

Answer:

Length = x + 3 ft
Width = x - 3 ft

Area of new patio = x² - 9 sq ft

If original side length = 8, new area = 55 sq ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The original patio has side length of x

If one side is reduced by 3 we get (x - 3) as the new side

If the side is increased by 3' we get (x + 3) as the new side

Area of new Patio = (x - 3)(x+3) = x² - 9

Original patio is 8 x 8
New patio width = 8 - 3 = 5
New patio length = 8 + 3 = 11

Area = 5 x 11 =55 sq ft


Solve each system by elimination. 2x + 3y = 7 , -2x + 5y = 1

Answers

By elimination, the solution of the system of equations, 2x + 3y = 7 and -2x + 5y = 1, is (2 , 1).

A system of equations is a set of two or more equations which includes common variables. To solve system of equations, we must find the value of the unknown variables used in the equations that must satisfy all the equations.

There are three methods that can be used to solve system of equations.

1. Elimination

2. Substitution

3. Graphing

Using the elimination method, given two equations in x and y, a variable should be eliminated by adding/subtracting the two equations.

Adding the two equations will eliminate the variable x.

2x + 3y = 7     (equation 1)

-2x + 5y = 1    (equation 2)

0x + 8y = 8

y = 1

Substitute the value of y to any of the two equation and solve for x.

2x + 3y = 7     (equation 1)

2x + 3(1) = 7

2x = 7 - 3

2x = 4

x = 2

Hence, the solution of the system of equations is (2 , 1).

help Finding the initial amount and rate of change given a table for a linear function

Answers

(a) The table clearly shows distance gets smallers as time passes, so the first choice is correct.

Since we know the rate at which the escalator moves is constant, we know that the average rate of change of the escalator's distance from the first floor is the same across any time interval we choose. Take for instance the average rate of change from [tex]t=6[/tex] to [tex]t=9[/tex]. If [tex]d(t)[/tex] denotes distance at time [tex]t[/tex], then the average rate of change over these 3 seconds, and at every point in time for that matter, is

[tex]\dfrac{d(9) - d(6)}{9 - 6} \dfrac{\rm cm}{\rm s} = \dfrac{890 - 980}{9 - 6} \dfrac{\rm cm}{\rm s} = -30 \dfrac{\rm cm}{\rm s}[/tex]

In other words, the distance from the first floor is decreasing at a rate of 30 cm/s. (negative sign = decreasing)

(b) At the start, when [tex]t=0[/tex], suppose Alan's distance from the first floor was [tex]x[/tex]. For every second that passes, we know the distance from the first floor decreases by 30 cm. This would mean that after [tex]t[/tex] seconds have passed, the distance would have decreased by a total [tex]30t[/tex] cm.

This tells us that Alan's distance from the first floor at any time [tex]t\ge0[/tex] is

[tex]d(t) = x - 30t[/tex]

Using any of the values from the table, we can solve for [tex]x[/tex].

[tex]t=6 \implies d(6) = x - 30\cdot6 \implies 980 = x - 180 \implies x = 1160[/tex]

which places Alan 1160 cm = 11.6 m from the first floor at the start.

the diagram shows a rectangle 0.5cm length, 7cm width. four of these rectangles are put together?​

Answers

Area of Rectangle :42 [tex]cm^{2}[/tex]

To calculate the shaded area, first calculate the overall area and then deduct the areas of the four little rectangles.

The following are the dimensions of the large rectangle:

The length is merely one of the little rectangles' length: 7

The width is equal to the length of one of the tiny rectangles plus the width of two of the small rectangles, thus 7 + 0.5 + 0.5 = 8.

As a result, the area of the largest rectangle is 7 × 8 = 56 cm^2.

We must now calculate the areas of the four smaller rectangles. It's simply length multiplied by width:

7 ×0.5 = 3.5

Because there are four rectangles, multiply by four:

14 cm squared = 3.5 ×4

Finally, the shaded area is calculated as 56 - 14 = 42 cm squared.

Supplementary angles are two angles whose measures add up to 180° . ex 150° and 30°

What are complementary angles?

When the sum of two angles is equal to 90° degrees, they are called complementary angles. For example, 30° and 60° are complementary angles.

What are vertical angles?

Vertical angles are formed when two lines meet each other at a point. A vertical angle and its adjacent angle are supplementary angles, i.e., they add up to 180°

What are congruent angles?

Two or more angles that are identical to each other.

False - All vertical angles are considered congruent but not all congruent angles are considered vertical angles. Any acute or obtuse angle may also be considered congruent. True - If 2 angles whose measures add to 180°, it means they are supplementary. They form a linear pair.True - Let one angle be 30° and the other angle is 40° , both of which are acute angles, then their sum is 70°, which is less than 90° True - Both angles in a complementary pair will always be acute. For ex: 30° and 60° are complementary angles , but are less than 90°, so they both are acute

Thus we can conclude that all vertical angles are congruent but not all congruent angles are considered vertical angles
