Yes you are right! There is much more balance in the left than in the right!
The values of k are 4,5,6
Exponential functions are related to logarithmic functions in that they are inverse functions. Exponential functions move quickly up towards a [y] infinity, bounded by a vertical asymptote (aka limit), whereas logarithmic functions start quick but then taper out towards an [x] infinity, bounded by a horizontal asymptote (aka limit).
If we use the natural logarithm (ln) as an example, the constant "e" is the base of ln, such that:
ln(x) = y, which is really stating that the base (assumed "e" even though not shown), that:
if we try to solve for y in this form it's nearly impossible, that's why we stick with ln(x) = y
but to find the inverse of the form:
switch the x and y, then solve for y:
So the exponential function is the inverse of the logarithmic one, f(x) = ln x
As the price per hour worked is $11, then 11 is the coefficient (or multiplier) of the number of hours Rita and Tina had worked. As for Rita, she will receive an extra $32 flat wage for her total overtime hours, so it will not be multiplied any further. Expressing their total wages mathematically:
Rita's total wages = 11r + 32
Tina's total wages = 11t
Answer: 2/3x-12=48
remember that less than means it goes to the back
