Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given an expression and we have to transform it into an expression with exponent.
5th root of x can be written as 
![(\sqrt[5]{x^7})^3\\\\((x^7)^\frac{1}{5} )^3](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%28%5Csqrt%5B5%5D%7Bx%5E7%7D%29%5E3%5C%5C%5C%5C%28%28x%5E7%29%5E%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B5%7D%20%29%5E3)
The powers outside will be multiplied as: 
where the exponent is 
and it is a rational number by definition of rational numbers
We need to separate his total earnings out into the different categories:
Category 1 (2%): 30,000
Category 2 (3%): 60,000-30,000 = 30,000
Category 3 (5%): 92,000-60,000 = 32,000
To calculate a percentage we multiply by that percentage divided by 100.
Now we can work out the commissions:
1) 30,000*0.02 = $600
2) 30,000*0.03 = $900
3) 32,000*0.05 = $1600
Adding these together, we get $3100
The slope of p is 3
the slope of q is -3
