Answer:
-4.8
Step-by-step explanation:
-4 is a whole number and 4/5 is 0.8 as a decimal
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation: x = 6
Subtract 4 from -2 to get -6. Then divide -6 by -x to get x = 6
If you add $15 + $27 because that's how much it costs for each student, you get $42. Then you divide $714 by $42, you get 17 and that's how many students are in the class this month.

so we have those critical values, which gives us the intervals of (-∞, 0] , [0, 6] and [6, +∞).
where is it increasing or decreasing? well, that's just a matter of checking a value on each region for the the first derivative, namely the first derivative test.
we can check for f(-1) = 12(-1)² - 72(-1), is a positive value, increasing.
and check f(1) = 12(1)² - 72(1), is a negative value, decreasing.
and check f(7) = 12(7)² - 72(7), positive, so increasing.
check the picture below, and you can see there which are the minima or maxima.
Total salary = 909.50
Out of this, overtime salary was = 229.50
Normal salary for 40 hours was = 909.50 - 229.50 = 680
Hourly rate = 680/40 = 17
Overtime is time and half = 17 + 17/2 = 17 + 8.5 = 25.5
Number of overtime hours = 229.50/25.5 = 9 hours
