The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:
A contractor has two choices for billing a completed job.
· $500 flat rate, regardless of the number of hours worked
· $20 per hour worked
The graph shows the relationship between pay per hour and number of hours worked for both scenarios.
What is the solution to this system of equations, and what does it mean to the contractor?
A.The solution (0, 20) tells the contractor the minimum amount that can be charged.
B.The solution (0, 500) tells the contractor the maximum amount that can be charged.
C.The solution (25, 20) tells the contractor the number of hours on a job where the hourly rate is the same for both billing options.
D.The solution (20, 25) tells the contractor the number of hours on a job where the hourly rate is the same for both billing options.
Answer:
The graph is attached below.
C.The solution (25, 20) tells the contractor the number of hours on a job where the hourly rate is the same for both billing options.
Step-by-step explanation:
As per the graph, the x-axis represents the number of hours worked and the y-axis represents the rate in dollars per hour.
The hourly rate is given as $20.
The solution to the given lines drawn on the graph is the point of intersection of the two curves.
As we observe from the graph, the point of intersection of the two curves is at (25,20). The point tells the contractor that when the hourly rate is $20, then the number of hours worked will be 25.
So, when the hourly rate is same for both the billings, then the number of hours worked will be 25.
Hence, the correct option is (C).
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
These cannot combine the way they are. The rule for adding and subtracting radicals is really picky. Not only does the index have to be the same (the little number that is sitting outside in the bend of the radical {ours is a 2, which isn't usually there, but is instead understood to be a square root}), but the radicand, the expression under the square root (or cubed root, or fourth root, etc) has to the same as well. All of our radicals are square roots, so that's good, but the radicands are all different. The first one is an 8, the next one is a 72, and the last one is a 50. BUT if we can rewrite them by simplifying them and then the radicands are the same, we're in good shape.
Simplify by taking the prime factorization of each of those numbers.
8: 4*2 and 4 is a perfect square, so we'll stop there
72: 36*2 and 36 is a perfect square, so we'll stop there
50: 25*2 and 25 is a perfect square, so we'll stop there.
Now, rewrite each one of them in terms of their prime factorization:
and then pull out each perfect square as its root:
and now all the radicands are the same, so we can add them to get
or simply
