To do this we take the outlier off the parenthesis (the 4) and multiply it by the two numbers inside the parenthesis...
4*7 + 4*8
28+32
The equation that represents a proportional relationship is:
y = 32x
Because:
y/x = 32
So that implies that y is directly proportional to x.
Note that other equations represent a proportional relationship in some form, only that the relationship y = 32x is the only direct proportional relationship.

Answer: 3</h3>
Explanation:
Refer to the graph below. It should be similar to what your teacher gave you, based off the description.
Since we're approaching 3 from the right side, this means we'll be working with the horizontal line portion. We could start at something like x = 3.2 and move closer to 3 by getting to x = 3.1 then x = 3.01 then x = 3.001 and so on. We never actually get to 3 itself.
As x gets closer to 3 from this direction, the y values are approaching 3 since every point on this horizontal line has the same y coordinate. Technically the y value is already at 3, but it's the same idea.
In terms of notation, we can write 
The portion 
means we're approaching 3 from the positive side, aka the right hand side on the number line.
Answer:
h(8q²-2q) = 56q² -10q
k(2q²+3q) = 16q² +31q
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Replace x in the function definition with the function's argument, then simplify.
h(x) = 7x +4q
h(8q² -2q) = 7(8q² -2q) +4q = 56q² -14q +4q = 56q² -10q
__
2. Same as the first problem.
k(x) = 8x +7q
k(2q² +3q) = 8(2q² +3q) +7q = 16q² +24q +7q = 16q² +31q

Comment on the problem
In each case, the function definition says the function is not a function of q; it is only a function of x. It is h(x), not h(x, q). Thus the "q" in the function definition should be considered to be a literal not to be affected by any value x may have. It could be considered another way to write z, for example. In that case, the function would evaluate to ...
h(8q² -2q) = 56q² -14q +4z
and replacing q with some value (say, 2) would give 196+4z, a value that still has z as a separate entity.
In short, I believe the offered answers are misleading with respect to how you would treat function definitions in the real world.
