Answer:

Yes, this is a linear function because the rate of change is constant

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear Functions

We can recognize a linear relation between variables x and y when they can be represented by a formula like

y=mx+b

Where m is the rate of change and it has a constant value. More specifically, a proportional relationship is a special case where b=0, meaning that every value of y divided by the corresponding value of x, is constant.

The situation described in the question says a bathtub is being filled at a rate of 4 liters per minute. It means that every minute, 4 liters are constantly being added to the existing quantity. This is a constant rate of change, so the correct answer is

"Yes, this is a linear function because the rate of change is constant"

One third of the candidates for a job were 25 years old or younger. two sevenths of the candidates were at least 50 years old. i

Shalnov [3]

There are three groups of people: 25 years old and younger, between 25 to 50, and 50 years old and older. Their fractions must equal to 1 because these three together form the whole.

1 = 1/3 + 2/7 + x
where x is the fraction for people ages 25 to 50 years old
x = 8/21

So, the actual number of people ages 25 to 50 years old is:

84(8/21) = 32 people
