Lia must work at least 5 hours per week in her family’s restaurant for $8 per hour. She also does yard work for $12 per hour. Li

a’s parents allow her to work a maximum of 15 hours per week overall. Lia’s goal is to earn at least $120 per week.
Write a system of inequalities to represent this situation. Let r be the number of hours worked at the restaurant, and let y be the number of hours of yard work.
Graph the inequalities.
What is the maximum number of hours Lia can work at the restaurant and still meet her earnings goal? Explain.
What is the maximum amount of money Lia can earn in 1 week? Explain.

Hello,

As the question states, let r be the number of hours worked at the restaurant, and y be the number of hours of yard work. We know that she can only work a maximum of 15 hours per work total, and that at she must work at least 5 hours in the restaurant. Therefore:r + y ≤ 15r ≥ 5We also know that she wants to earn at least 120 dollars, earning $8/hr in the restaurant and $12/hr in the yard:8r + 12y ≥ 120
What is the maximum of hours Lia can work in the restaurant and still make at leas 120 hours? Lia's parents won't let her work more than 15 hours, so we know that the answer won't be higher than 15.If she worked all 15 hours in the restaurant, she would make 8*15 = 120.The maximum number of hours she can work in the restaurant is therefore 15 hours
What is the maximum amount of money Lia can earn in a week? Lia has to work a minimum of 5 hours in the restaurant. She makes more money doing yard work, so she should devote the rest of her available work hours to yard work. That means that, given her 15 hour work limit, she will maximize her income by working 5 hours in the restaurant and 10 hours in the yard. 5*8 + 10*12 = 40 + 120 = 160The most she can make is 160 dollars, working 5 hours in the restaurant and 10 hours in the yard

Hope this helps

Amelia wants to rearrange the furniture in her room. She makes a scale drawing of her rectangular room,
vovangra [49]

Answer:

The other side = 13 feets long

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Scale of drawing : 2 inches represents 5 feets

Area of rectangular room according to scale drawing = 24.96 in²

Length of one side of the room = 12 feets

Length of other side = x

Area of rectangle = Length * width

If :

2 inches = 5 feets

x = 12 feets

x = (12 *2) / 5

x = 4.8 inches

Hence,

For the scaled drawing :

4.8 * width = 24.96

Width = 24.96 / 4.8

Width = 5.2 inches

Converting to feets according to scale:

2 inches = 5 feets

5.2 inches = x feets

x = (5.2 * 5 ) / 2

x = 13 feets

Other side is 13 feets long

Is this a function?
liraira [26]

Answer:

It isn't a function.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are two points on the same x value, in this case x=3, this means that these points can not be a function.

Please explain and tell me how to do it please

The answer is b) y = 3x + 3.

To find this, we first need to find the slope. The slope formula is listed below.

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

In this equation, m is the slope, and (x1, y1) is the first point, where (x2, y2) is the second point. We'll use (2, 9) and (3, 12) for the points.

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (12 - 9)/(3 - 2)

m = 3/1

m = 3

Now that we have the slope at 3. we can use slope intercept form and one point to solve for the y-intercept. We'll use (2, 9) as the point.

y = mx + b

9 = 3(2) + b

9 = 6 + b

3 = b

When we use the slope and intercept together to get the equation. y = 3x + 3

Which graph shows the same end behavior as the graph of f(x) = 2x6 - 2x2 - 5?
aleksandrvk [35]

Step-by-step explanation:

End behavior of a polynomial function is the behavior of the graph of f(x) as x tends towards infinity in the positive or negative sense.

  Given function:

            f(x)  = 2x⁶   -    2x²   -  5

To find the end behavior of a function:

  • Find the degree of the function. it is the highest power of the variable.

  Here the highest power is 6

  • Find the value of the leading coefficient. It is the number before the variable with the highest power.

   Here it is  +2

We observe that the degree of the function is even

         Also the leading coefficient is positive.

For even degree and positive leading coefficient, the end behavior of a graph is:

x → ∞ , f(x) = +∞

x → -∞ , f(x) = +∞

The graph is similar to the attached image
