Answer:

Thus, we say that x2 is "x raised to the power of two" or equivalently "x squared" (which is x mulitplied by itself). ... The number represented here as x is called the base, and n is called the power or exponent.

VladimirAG [237]
First, we must calculate the weekly pay of an employee that is paid a fixed amount. Given that there are 52 weeks in a year, the weekly pay for a regularly paid employee is: 67,000 / 52 = $1,288.46 Now, we calculate the number of hours an employee that is paid hourly works per week: 0 + 10 + 8 + 8 + 7 + 6.5 + 4.5 = 44 So this employee is paid: 25 x 40 + 37.5 x 4 = $1,150 Therefore, it is recommended that a new employee goes for the salaried pay since the weekly earnings are greater in this option.
