Answer:

  f(x) = {x-3 for x ≤ -1; -3x+14 for x > 5}

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the piecewise function, we can consider the pieces one at a time. For each, we need to define the domain, and the functional relation.

__

<h3>Left Piece</h3>

The domain is the horizontal extent. It is shown as -∞ to -1, with -1 included.

The relation has a slope (rise/run) of +1, and would intersect the y-axis at -3 if it were extended.

The first piece can be written ...

  f(x) = x-3 for x ≤ -1

__

<h3>Right Piece</h3>

The domain is shown as 5 to ∞, with 5<em> not included</em>.

The relation is shown as having a slope (rise/run) of (-3)/(1) = -3. If extended, it would intersect the point (5, -1), so we can write the point-slope equation as ...

  y -(-1) = -3(x -5)

  y = -3x +15 -1 = -3x +14

The second piece can be written ...

  f(x) = -3x +14 for x > 5

__

<h3>Whole function</h3>

Putting these pieces together, we have ...

  \boxed{f(x)=\begin{cases}x-3&\text{for }x\le-1\\-3x+14&\text{for }5 < x\end{cases}}

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Sometimes it is convenient to write inequalities in number-line order (using < or ≤ symbols). This gives a visual indication of where the variable stands in relation to the limit(s). Perhaps a more conventional way to write the domain for the second piece is, <em>x > 5</em>.

Alika [10]

Answer: y = 20x+75

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation:

The cost (y) must be equal to the product of the cost per hour of installation (20) and the number of hours that it takes (x); plus the fixed cost of parts and installation (75).

Mathematically speaking:

y = 20x+75

Representative is paid the greater
vivado [14]

Building and solving an inequality, it is found that at a volume of sales of $11,875 he will start to earn more from the commission  based compensation.

------------------------

  • We want to find how much in dollars he has to sell such that 8% of this amount is greater than $950.
  • Supposing he sells $x, 8% of this is represented by 0.08x. We want it to be greater than $950, thus, the inequality is:

0.08x > 950

Now we solve the inequality, similarly to how we would solve an equality.

x > \frac{950}{0.08}

x > 11875

At a volume of sales of $11,875 he will start to earn more from the commission  based compensation.

One large jar and five small jars can hold 26 ounces of jam. One large jar minus one small jar can hold 2 ounces of jam. Use the
Lesechka [4]

Using a system of equations, it is found that one large jar holds 6 ounces and one small jar holds 4 ounces.

<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

In this problem, the variables are:

  • Variable l: Weight that a large jar holds.
  • Variable s: Weight that a small jar holds.

One large jar and five small jars can hold 26 ounces of jam, hence:

l + 5s = 26, which is the first equation in matrix form.

Then:

l = 26 - 5s.

One large jar minus one small jar can hold 2 ounces of jam, hence:

l - s = 2, which is the second equation in matrix form:

Then:

l = 2 + s = 26 - 5s

2 + s = 26 - 5s

6s = 24

s = 4.

l = 26 - 5s = 6.
