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.

4x2 + 8x - 7 - (3x2 - X+9)​
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

<h2>{x}^{2}  + 9x - 16</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

4 {x}^{2}  + 8x - 7 - (3 {x}^{2}  - x + 9)

When there is a (-) in front of an expression in parentheses, change the sign of each term in the expression:

4 {x}^{2}  + 8x - 7 - 3 {x}^{2}  + x - 9

Collect like terms

4 {x}^{2}  - 3 {x}^{2}  + 8x + x - 7 - 9

{x}^{2}  + 9x - 7 - 9

Calculate

{x}^{2}  + 9x - 16

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment...
