No, this would not be a linear function. Being linear means it creates a straight line, but this function has an x squared. Anytime x^2 is in a function, the graph is a u shape, called a parabola. A simple linear function is y=x :D
Answer:
Two quantities have a proportional relationship if they can be expressed in the general form y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality. In other words, these quantities always maintain the same ratio--that is, when you divide any pair of the two values, you always get the same number k.
8 were defective.
Defective percent = 8/84 x 100 = 9.5238% were defective.
Percent not defective = 100% - 9.5238% = 90.4761%
Rounding to the nearest tenth 90.5% were not defective.
The question doesn’t say how to round the answer so you may need to round differently than I did.
You simplify it by solving it which means it's 4x4 which equals 16 so the answer is 16
