Let us assume that a person works for 8 hours a day.

Let us assume that the person works for 5 days a week.

Wage earned per hour = $15

So, wage earned in 8 hours = 15*8 = $120

Now, wage earned in 1 day = 120

So, wage earned in 5 days = 120*5 =$600

As the person works for 5 days in 1 week

So, in 50 weeks, he will work = 50*5 = 250 days

So, total number of hours he must have worked = 250*8 =2000 hours

Now, per hour wage = $15

wage in 2000 hours = 15*2000 = $30000

Hence, the estimated wage a person earns in 50 weeks = $30000

Answer:

<em>The value of y when x has a value of 9 is 18</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Functions</u>

The variables x and y are said to have a quadratic relationship. That information is not enough to set up a general equation for both variables.

Furthermore, we know that tripling the value of x causes the value of y to be multiplied by 9. That leads us to establish a proportional equation between them, as follows:

$y=kx^2$

Where k is an unknown constant.

Let's use the given point (3,2) to find the value of k:

$2=k(3)^2$

$2=9k$

Solving for k:

$\displaystyle k=\frac{2}{9}$

The equation is now:

$\displaystyle y=\frac{2}{9}x^2$

Now find y when x=9:

$\displaystyle y=\frac{2}{9}(9)^2$

$\displaystyle y=\frac{2}{9}\cdot 81=18$

The value of y when x has a value of 9 is 18
