Joe earns $14 an hour and Blaine earns $18 per hour. Joe receives a raise of $1.75 every six months, and Blaine receives a raise

Katarina [22]

After 4 interval of six months, Joe to earn same hourly rate as Blaine

Solution:

Given that,

Amount earned by Joe = $ 14 per hour

Amount earned by Blaine = $ 18 per hour

Lets assume the number of six month intervals be "x"

Joe receives a raise of $1.75 every six months

Therefore,

Joe earning: 14 + 1.75(number of six month intervals)

Equation for Joe earning: 14 + 1.75x ------- eqn 1

Blaine receives a raise of $0.75 every six months

Therefore,

Blaine earning: 18 + 0.75(number of six month intervals)

Equation for Blaine earning: 18 + 0.75x ------------ eqn 2

The number of six-month intervals it will take Joe to earn the same hourly rate as Blaine,

Eqn 1 must be equal to eqn 2

$14+1.75x = 18+0.75x\\\\1.75x-0.75x = 18-14\\\\1x = 4\\\\x = 4$

Thus after 4 interval of six months, Joe to earn same hourly rate as Blaine.

1. Evaluate the function f(x)=3x-1 using the domain of -2, 0, 3, and 5. Results are to be shown in a table.

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the function $f(x)=3x-1$

The domain of the function are all possible values of variable x, so you can find f(x) for x=-2, 0, 3, 5:

$f(-2)=3\cdot (-2)-1=-6-1=-7\\ \\f(0)=3\cdot 0-1=0-1=-1\\ \\f(3)=3\cdot 3-1=9-1=8\\ \\f(5)=3\cdot 5-1=15-1=14$

The table is

$\begin{array}{cc}x&f(x)\\-2&-7\\0&-1\\3&8\\5&14\end{array}$

The inverse function $f^{-1}(x)$ has the domain which is the range of the function f(x) (all possible values of f(x)), so the domain of inverse function is {-7,-1,8,14}

What is the area of a triangle with vertices at (−4, 1) , (−7, 5) , and (0, 1) ?

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Plot the points on a graph. Connect the dots into a triangle. See that the height of the triangle is from y=5 down to y=1. So the height is 4 units.
Area of a triangle: A = (1/2)BH

You need to find the length of the base. Which is from point (-4,1) to (0,1). You can use the distance formula r just see from the graph that the base is 4 units.

A = (1/2)(4)(4)
A = 8

** Distance formula fyi
d² = (X-x)² + (Y-y)²
with points (X,Y) and (x,y)
