Answer:
1. We can see that salesperson's weekly income is the sum of her constant weekly salary ($760) and a commission which is variable and depends on her weekly sales.
So, if we say that y is her weekly income and x is her weekly sales, we can write this as:
y = 760 + 0.075x
Note that we had to change percentage to decimal number dividing it by 100.
2 Since for each value of x there is only one corresponding value of y, we can say that this is a function. For any value of x we input there is only one solution we get - that is the main feature of function and a way to tell if something is really a function.
Since this is a function, it can also be written as:
f(x) = 760 + 0.075x
3. Domain of a function is, basically, set of all values of x for which the function can work. That practically means that, since x is weekly sale, it can not be negative (one cannot make -$500 sale, for example). However, it is possible that she doesn't make a sale one week, making it possible for x to be 0. Also, the value of her sales doesn't have to be integer (it is quite possible that she makes $673.50 sale).
All this means that appropriate domain for this function are positive real numbers including 0.
Answer:
3:2 is equal to 12:8 and 12:8 is not 9:8
Step-by-step explanation:
Ratios are also fractions
3/2 is also 12/8
12/8 is not 9/8
Answer:The numbers are 8 1/3, 9 1/3, and 10 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Direct Proportion functions look like this:
y=kx
'k' is the constant of proportionality and in this case its 7.5 or 15/2.
--------------------------------------------
When x=1, y=7.5
When x=2, y=15
When x=3, y=22.5
Therefore y is directly proportional to x.

DIRECT PROPORTION EXPLAINED:
Say a football costs £7.50. If you buy one football you'll have to pay out £7.50, but if you you buy two footballs you'll have to pay out £15.00. Therefore the cost of the football(s) is directly proportional to the amount of footballs you buy. C=cost, f=football(s) and C<span>∝f, therefore C=kf, but as k=7.5, C=7.5f.
INVERSE PROPORTION EXPLAINED:
If it were to take 8 hours for one bricklayer to set up a wall, how long would it take for two bricklayers to set up a wall? The answer in this case would be 4 hours.
T=time to set up a wall
b=bricklayer(s)
Therefore T</span><span>∝1/b, and T=k/b. In this case k=8 so T=8/b.
When b=1, T=8.
When b=2, T=4.
We'd say that the time it would take for bricklayers to set up a wall would be inversely proportional to the amount of bricklayers available.</span>
