Answer:

Hey there!

The given equation helps us understand the relationship between Amber's tips earned and the money she earned through her hourly wage. This information will add up to equal a grand total of $69.20.

We know that Amber earns $15.50 in tips during her 6 hour shift. Therefore, this is not considered part of her wage. This would be one of the constants of our equation.

We also know that Amber earns a fixed hourly wage, but we don't know what this wage is. We need to find w.

6w+15.5=\$69.20

Subtract 15.5 from both sides of the equation (and get rid of the currency symbol).

6w=69.20-15.5\\6w=53.7

Divide both sides of the equation by 6.

\displaystyle \frac{6w}{6}=\frac{53.7}{6}\\\\w=8.95

Therefore, Amber's hourly wage is $8.95.

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

DA/dt  = 75.27 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Cube Volume    =   V(c)   =  683  cm³

DV(c) /dt    =  824 cm³

V(c,x) = x³    

Then

DV(c,x)/ dt   =  3x² Dx/dt

( DV(c,x)/ dt )/ 3x²  =  Dx/dt       (1)

Now  as  V(c,x) = x³    when    V(c,x)  =  683 cm³     x = ∛683

x  =  8.806     ( from excel)

And by subtitution of this value in equation (1)

Dx/dt   =  ( DV(c,x)/ dt )/ 3x²   ⇒  Dx/dt  =  824 / 3*x²

  Dx/dt   = 824 /3*77.55

Dx/dt   =  824/232,64

Dx/dt   = 3,542

Then we got  Dx/dt  where x is cube edge. The area of the face is x² then

the rate of change of the suface area is  

DA/dt  = ( Dx/dt )²*6         ( 6 faces of a cube)

DA/dt  = (3.542)²*6

DA/dt  = 75.27 cm²
