The earning of the salesperson is an illustration of a linear function.
The possible functions in the two scenarios are:
and 
The function is given as:

When the base salary is increased, a possible function is:

This is so, because 2500 is greater than 2000
When the commission rate is decreased, a possible function is:

This is so, because 0.05 is less than 0.1
So, the possible functions in the two scenarios are:
and 
See attachment for the graphs of both functions

The Distributive Property is used in algebraic expressions to multiply a
single term and two or more terms which are inside a set of parentheses.
In the case of x(2y), there is only
one term inside the parenthesis
In the case of 9(x ∙ y), the distributive
property is not used because (x ∙ y) = xy which means only one term will be
multiplied by the term outside the parenthesis (9)
In the case of 9(x + y), the distributive
property is used because the two terms in the parenthesis (x and y) will be
multiplied by the term outside the parenthesis (9)
9(x + y) = 9*x + 9*y (by applying the distributive property)
In the case of (7 ∙ a)(b), the distributive
property is not used because (7 ∙ a) = 7a which means only one term will be
multiplied by the term outside the parenthesis (b)
In the case of (7 - a)(b), the distributive
property is used because the two terms in the parenthesis (7 and -a) will be
multiplied by the term outside the parenthesis (b)
(7 - a)(b) = 7*b - a*b (by applying the distributive
property)
In the case of (2 ∙ x) ∙ y, the distributive
property is not used because (2 ∙ x) = 2x which means only one term will be
multiplied by the term outside the parenthesis (y)

Answer:
5. f(x) = 10,000 (1.5)^x
Step-by-step explanation:
We would have to multiply the original amount by 1.50^x because the initial amount would be 1, and 50% increase would be .5 so 1.5 and you raise it to the number of years to show the total increase.
Let's test it.
Initial:
10,000
After 1 year
10,000 + (.5*10000)
10,000 + 5000 = 15,000
After 2 years
15,000 + (.5*15000)
15,000 + 7500 = 22,500
Let's try our equation.
f(x) = 10,000 (1.5)^x
x = 2
10,000(1.5)^2
10,000(2.25) = 22,500
The same!
Because 3 / 6 = 0.5 and 4.5 / 9 = 0.5, the scale factor is 0.5 ;
