Answer:

Area A = 12 = 1/2 × x × (5x-2)

5x^2 - 2x -24 = 0

Solution;

Base x = 2.4

Height h = 10 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

base of the triangle is x feet;

Base = x

The height of a triangle is 2 less than 5 times it's base;

Height = 5x - 2

the area of the triangle is 12 square feet;

Area A = 12 ft^2

The area of a triangle is;

Area A = 1/2 × base × height

Substituting the base and height;;

Area A = 1/2 × x × (5x-2)

Area A = 1/2 × (5x^2 - 2x)

Area A = 12

12 = 1/2 × (5x^2 - 2x)

Multiply through by 2.

24 = (5x^2 - 2x)

5x^2 - 2x -24 = 0

Solving the simultaneous equation;

x = 2.4 or -2

Since the base cannot be negative;

x = 2.4 ft

Height h = 5x -2 = 5(2.4) - 2 = 12 - 2 = 10 ft

Base x = 2.4

Height h = 10 ft

The earning of the salesperson is an illustration of a linear function.

The possible functions in the two scenarios are: \mathbf{I(s) = 0.1s + 2500} and \mathbf{I(s) = 0.05s + 2000}\\

The function is given as:

\mathbf{I(s) = 0.1s + 2000}

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

\mathbf{I(s) = 0.1s + 2500}

This is so, because 2500 is greater than 2000

When the commission rate is decreased, a possible function is:

\mathbf{I(s) = 0.05s + 2000}\\

This is so, because 0.05 is less than 0.1

So, the possible functions in the two scenarios are:

\mathbf{I(s) = 0.1s + 2500} and \mathbf{I(s) = 0.05s + 2000}\\

See attachment for the graphs of both functions
