Answer:the candidate polled 216000 votes

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of votes(both valid and invalid) is 600000. 10% of the total number of votes were declared invalid. This means that the total number of invalid votes is

10/100× 600000 = 0.1×600000 = 60000 votes. Total number of valid votes = 600000 - 60000 = 540000.

If a candidate got 40% of the valid votes, it means that the total number of votes that the candidate got would be

40/100×540000 = 0.4 × 540000 = 216000 votes

A verbal description of a linear function f is given. Express the function f in the form
Lerok [7]

The linear function g which has a rate of change of -16 and initial value 600 is; g = -16x + 600.

<h3>What is the linear function which is as described?</h3>

It follows from the task content that the linear expression which is as described by the given verbal description is to be determined.

Since the standard slope-intercept form of a linear function is as given; f(x) = ax + b.

Where, a = slope (rate of change) and b = y-intercept (initial value).

Therefore, the required linear function which is as described is;

g = -16x + 600
