Just #35 please piecewise functions

Mathematics
1 answer:
saveliy_v [14]1 year ago
3 0

Answer: No, the friend is correct. In any function, each input value can only lead to one output value. When you input 3 for the x-values, you would get two output values because 3 is included in both equations. To fix this, you need to have the 3 not included in one of the equations.

For example, you could say y=\left \{ {{2x-2, x\leq 3} \atop {-3, x > 3}} \right. or y=\left \{ {{2x-2, x < 3} \atop {-3, x\geq 3}} \right. because the input value of 3 would not be included twice.

If you look at the attached screenshot, you will see that if you keep your friend's function, inputting 3 will result in two outputs of 4 and -3, so therefore, y=\left \{ {{2x-2,x\leq 3} \atop {-3,x\geq 3}} \right. cannot represent a piecewise function.

the time required to assemble computers varies directly as the number of computers assembled and inversely as the number of work
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

16 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

let t be time, n the number of computers and w the number of workers, then

t = \frac{kn}{w} ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition n = 30, w = 6 and t = 10 , then

10 = \frac{30k}{6} ( multiply both sides by 6 )

60 = 30k ( divide both sides by 30 )

2 = k

t = \frac{2n}{w} ← equation of variation

When w = 5 and n = 40 , then

t = \frac{2(40)}{5} = \frac{80}{5} = 16 hours

Barbara earns $16.50 per hour for the first 8 hours she works What
Bingel [31]
In the morning she worked 3 hours and 45 minutes. In the afternoon she worked 5 hours and 15 minutes. That is a total of 9 hours. At $16.50 per hour for 8 hours that comes to $132. Plus the 1 hour over time with breaks down to $18.50 plus $8.25 totaling $24.75. Add that to the $132 and she made a total of $156.75 for Wednesday’s work. I hope this helps with your question.
