An electrician charges a flat service fee to accept a job and an additional hourly rate to complete the job. The amount an elect

rician charges per job can be represented by the function E(x) = 130 + 28x, where x represents the number of hours she works on the job and 130 represents her flat service fee. What is the interpretation of the slope in the context of the problem?
If the electrician works for 0 hours, her pay will be $28.
If the electrician works for 28 hours, her pay will be $130.
For every hour the electrician works, her pay will increase $28.
For every hour the electrician works, her pay will increase $130.

The interpretation of the slope in the context of the problem is: For every hour the electrician works, her pay will increase $28.

<h3>How to Interpret the Slope of a Function?</h3>

The slope of any function is the unit rate or average rate of change of the given function for that situation.

Given the function, E(x) = 130 + 28x, where:

E(x) is the amount an electrician charges per job

130 is the flat rate service which is the starting value or y-intercept

28 is the unit rate or slope, which is the fee charged per hour by the electrician to complete a job.

Thus, the interpretation of the slope in the context of the problem is: For every hour the electrician works, her pay will increase $28.

How do you round with 5,900
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

Well If there are answer choices please place them in the comments. But if there are not, that's okay. I'd say that you'd just keep it at 5,900 if you are trying to round to the nearest hundred. If you are trying to round to the nearest thousand, 6,000 would be right.

Remember, if the number is or is between 1 and 5 round down but if it is or is between 5 and 9, round up.

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

\large\boxed{-5\leq k

Step-by-step explanation:

5+7k\geq-30\ \wedge\ -4k+4>20\\\\5+7k\geq-30\qquad\text{subtract 5 from both sides}\\7k\geq-35\qquad\text{divide both sides by 7}\\\boxed{k\geq-5}\\\\-4k+4>20\qquad\text{subtract 4 from both sides}\\-4k>16\qquad\text{change the signs}\\4k

Given a rectangle with length of (2x+9)cm and width of (3x+1)cm.Two squares, each with sides x cm is removed from the rectangle.
il63 [147K]

Answer: The length is 13cm and the width is 7cm

Step-by-step explanation:

For a rectangle of length L and width W, the area is:

A = W*L

In this case we have:

L = (2*x + 9) cm

W=(3*x + 1) cm

Then the area of the rectangle is:

A = (2*x + 9)*(3*x + 1) cm^2

A = (6*x^2 + 2*x + 27*x + 9) cm^2

A = (6*x^2 + 29*x + 9) cm^2

now we remove two squares with sides of x cm

The area of each one of these squares is (x cm)*(x cm)  = x^2 cm^2

Then the area of the figure will be:

area = (6*x^2 + 29*x + 9) cm^2 - (2*x^2 ) cm^2

area = (4*x^2 + 29*x + 9) cm^2

Now we know that the area of this shape is 83 cm^2, then we need to solve:

83 cm^2 = (4*x^2 + 29*x + 9) cm^2

0 =  (4*x^2 + 29*x + 9) cm^2 - 83 cm^2

0 = (4*x^2 + 29*x - 74) cm^2

Then we need to solve:

0 = 4*x^2 + 29*x - 74

Here we can use Bhaskara's equation, the solutions of this equation are given by:

x = \frac{-29 \pm \sqrt{29^2 - 4*4*(-74)}  }{2*4} = \frac{-29 \pm 45}{8}

Then the two solutions are:

x = (-29 - 45)/8 = -9.25  (for how the length and width are defined, we can not have x as a negative number, then this solution can be discarded).

The other solution is:

x = (-29 + 45)/8 = 2

x = 2

Then the length and width of the rectangle are:

Length = (2*2 + 9)cm = 13 cm

Width = (3*2 + 1)cm = 7cm
