Working as an insurance salesperson, ilya earns a base salary and a commission on each new policy, so ilya’s weekly income, ii, depends on the number of new policies, n, he sells during the week. last week he sold 3 new policies, and earned $760 for the week. the week before, he sold 5 new policies, and earned $920. find an equation for i(n), and interpret the meaning of the components of the equation.

l(n) = 80n + 520

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given in the  question, there is a relationship between the number of new policy sold, n, and earning, I

           For 3 new policies, he earned $760

           For 5 new policies, he earned $920.

The rate of change of IIya's earning with respect to number of new policy sales is

             m = $160 / 2 policies

             m = $80 / policy

The linear equation for the relationship is;

             l(n) = mn + b

I(n) is Ilya’s weekly income which is a function of the number of new policies, n

m is the rate of change of I with respect to n

n is the number of new policies,

b is the intial function which is IIya's income when n equals zero

Recall, Ilya earns a commission of $80 for each policy sold during the week. (m = $80 per policy)

                 l(n) = 80n + b

To complete the relationship l, we need to calculate the initial value b.

For 3 new policies, he earned $760,

             760 = 80(3) + b

             760 = 240 + b

             b = 760 - 520

             b = 520

The final equation is l(n) = 80n + 520

From the final equation, we can deduce that Ilya’s weekly salary is $520 and he earns an additional $80 commission for each new policy sold.

step-by-step explanation:

assume that you have 3 different side lengths.   apply the pythagorean theorem here:   square each of the two shortest sides; call them a and b, so that their squares are a² and b².   also square the longest side, calling the result c².

now, if a² + b² = c² is true, the triangle is a right triangle; otherwise it is not a right triangle.
