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 perimeter would be (24x - 40)/(x^2 - 4x).
In order to find this, first double the length and width as you would to find any perimeter.
7/(x - 4) * 2 = 14/(x - 4)
5/x * 2 = 10/x
Now to add those together, we need to give them common denominators. In order to do that with the first one, we need to multiply by x/x
14/(x - 14) * x/x = 14x/(x^2 - 14x)
Then we can do the same with the second part by multiplying by (x - 4)/(x - 4)
10/x * (x - 4)/(x - 4) = (10x - 40)/(x^2 - 14x)
Now we can add the two together
14x/(x^2 - 14x) + (10x - 40)/(x^2 - 14x) = (24x - 40)/(x^2 - 14x)
Percent means parts out of 100
74%=74/100=0.74
'of' means multiply
so
128 is 74% of what means
128=0.74 times what
divide both sides by 0.74
172.97297297297297297297297297297=what
the number is about 173
The answer is 35 please rate me the brainlest answer

Linear Functions: Taking a Taxi
You take a trip to downtown Boston to walk the Freedom Trail with your family. After you walk through the Bunker Hill Memorial, your family decides to take a taxi to a restaurant for dinner. After 1 mile, the meter on the taxi says $4.75. It will cost $8.25 to go 3 miles. The cost varies linearly with the distance that you traveled. If you have $11 in your pocket, will you be able to take the cab 5 miles?
Answer:
Cannot go 5 miles having just $11
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the cost varies linearly with the distance that you traveled, to model the linear function for this problem we know that
1 mile = $4.75
And so to go x miles, we require $4.75x
Equation can therefore be modelled thus :
y=4.5x
Where y = total cost of transport in dollars
x= cost in dollars per mile
To find out if we can go 5 miles just having $11, we plug in 5 miles for x into the equation to find total cost of transport going 5 miles
y=4.5*5
y= $22.5
Therefore we cannot go 5 miles just having $11
