2) D: x = [0, 24]
3) R: y = [0, 384]
4) see graph
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Eric's regular wage is $12 per hour for all hours less than 9 hours.
The minimum number of hours Eric can work each day is 0.
f(x) = 12x for 0 ≤ x < 9
Eric's overtime wage is $18 per hour for 9 hours and greater.
The maximum number of hours Eric can work each day is 24 (because there are only 24 hours in a day).
f(x) = 18(x - 8) + 12(8)
= 18x - 144 + 96
= 18x - 48 for 9 ≤ x ≤ 24
The daily wage where x represents the number of hours worked can be displayed in function format as follows:
2) Domain represents the x-values (number of hours Eric can work).
The minimum hours he can work in one day is 0 and the maximum he can work in one day is 24.
D: 0 ≤ x ≤ 24 → D: x = [0, 24]
3) Range represents the y-values (wage Eric will earn).
Eric's wage depends on the number of hours he works. Use the Domain (given above) to find the wage.
The minimum hours he can work in one day is 0.
f(x) = 12x
f(0) = 12(0)
= 0
The maximum hours he can work in one day is 24 <em>(although unlikely, it is theoretically possible).</em>
f(x) = 18x - 48
f(24) = 18(24) - 48
= 432 - 48
= 384
D: 0 ≤ y ≤ 384 → D: x = [0, 384]
4) see graph.
Notice that there is an open dot at x = 9 for f(x) = 12x
and a closed dot at x = 9 for f(x) = 18x - 48
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The axis of symmetry can be calculated using the formula:
First we must determine a and b from the quadratic: . This is in standard form, with the highest power first in descending order.
Standard form is also:
If we compare this to the quadratic given, we can conclude that:
Substitute the values for a and b into the formula.
Multiply in the denominator.
Divide.
This can also be determined from the graph. It is the x-coordinate of the vertex or the maximum/minimum. It divides the quadratic into 2 symmetrical halves.
