Using linear functions, it is found that the number of electronics that you need to sell for a larger income in option A is x > 200,000.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

Considering the <u>base salaries as the intercept and the commissions as the slope</u>, the functions are given by:

  • A(x) = 10000 + 0.09x.
  • B(x) = 20000 + 0.04x.

To produce a larger income in option A, it is needed that:

A(x) > B(x).

Hence:

10000 + 0.09x > 20000 + 0.04x

0.05x > 10000

x > 10000/0.05

x > 200,000

Whats 1 and 2/3 + 1 and 5/6​
Dima020 [189]
1 2/3 + 1 5/6

We’ll start by converting the 2/3 to 6ths so we have a common denominator.

Look at the denominator first. 3 x 2 is 6, so we need to multiply the numerator by 2 as well. 2/3 = 4/6.

So we have 1 4/6 + 1 5/6 = 2 9/6
But you know they’ll want you to reduce that so it’s 3 3/6...or 3 1/2.

Let me know where you have questions.
