Answer:

non linear function

Step-by-step explanation:

given that a certain function fits the following description:

As the value of x increases by 1 each time, the value of y continually decreases by a smaller amount each time, and never reaches a value as low as 1.

This implies that for a unit increase in x, there is a decrease in y but the rate of change of y is not constant.  It steadily decreases upto 1 but not equals 1.

i.e. dy/dx limits to 1.

But for linear relationships we know that rate of change of y with respect to x should be a constant.  

Since here this function has slope constantly changing, this is not a linear function.

Non linear funciton is the answer.

Answer:

The interest rate of the account is 3\%

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that    

The compound interest formula is equal to  

A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}  

where  

A is the Final Investment Value  

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested  

r is the rate of interest  in decimal

t is Number of Time Periods  

n is the number of times interest is compounded per year

in this problem we have  

t=14\ years\\ P=\$1,863\\ A=\$2,830.97\\n=4  

substitute in the formula above  and solve for r

\$2,830.97=\$1,863(1+\frac{r}{4})^{4*14}  

(2,830.97/1,863)=(1+\frac{r}{4})^{56}  

(2,830.97/1,863)^{1/56}=(1+\frac{r}{4})

[(2,830.97/1,863)^{1/56}-1]=\frac{r}{4}    

r=4*[(2,830.97/1,863)^{1/56}-1]\\ \\r= 0.03

Convert to percent

r= 0.03*100=3\%

Solve the equation. Check for extraneous solutions. |x - 4| = 5x + 12<br><br> x = []
kykrilka [37]

The solution of the equation is x = -4/3.

<h3>What does it mean to solve an equation?</h3>

An equation represents equality of two or more mathematical expression.

Solutions to an equation are those values of the variables involved in that equation for which the equation is true.

WE have been given an equation as;

|x - 4| = 5x + 12

In an absolute value equation, we solve the original expression as our first equation. Our second one is that we multiply the right side by -1.

Case 1: original equation

|x - 4| = 5x + 12

x - 4 = 5x + 12

x - 5x = 12 + 4

-4x = 16

x = -4

Case 2: Opposite equation

|x - 4| = 5x + 12

x - 4 = - (5x + 12)

x - 4 = - 5x - 12

x + 5x = -12 + 4

6x = -8

x = -4/3

Now we have two solutions. We need to check for extraneous solutions because of all the manipulations;

Check:

|x - 4| = 5x + 12

use x = -4

|-4 - 4| = 5(-4) + 12

| -8 | = -20 + 12

8 = -8              

Thus, it is Not a solution

Now,  |x - 4| = 5x + 12

use x =  -4/3

| -4/3 - 4| = 5( -4/3) + 12

|-16/3 | = -20/3 + 12

|-16/3 | = 16/3

16/3 = 16/3

Thus, it is the  Solution.

A sales person is paid a weekly salary of $760, plus a commission of 7.5% of all her sales for the week. Express her weekly inco
Elis [28]

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.
