Ms. simms is paid an 8% commission on all sales. she
had sales of $89,400 for the month. ms. harris works for
a different company, and also sold $89,400 for the month but
made $447 more than ms. simms. what is ms. harris'
commission rate?

you ignore the remainder, therefore the answer is y = x+2

step-by-step explanation:

you have to divide the denominator by the numerator. you can use synthetic division or long division.

[-5] .     1 .     7 .     11

x + 2 + 1/x+5

answer: a parabola

steps:

(x-1)(x+4)   = x(x+4) - 1(x+4) = (x^2 + 4x) - (x+4)

                = x^2 +4x -x -4   = x^2 +3x -4

which is a parabola
