What is the explicit function that represents Sione's salary? a. m(t) =.03t + 55000
b. m(t) = 55000(1.03)t-1
c. m(t) = 1.03t + 56650
d. m(t) = 0.97* 55000

step-by-step explanation:

is there any photos or whatever?

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )

for this case we must apply distributive property to the following expression:

the distributive property states that:

then, when applying the property we have to multiply the -2 for each term within the parenthesis:
