Answer:

  w = -2 or 8 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Setting the two expressions equal makes a quadratic equation:

  -5 +0.6w = w(2.5 -0.3w)

  0.3w^2 -1.9w -5 = 0 . . . . . . subtract the right-side expression

  3w^2 -19s -50 = 0 . . . . . . . multiply by 10 to give integer coefficients

  (3w -25)(w +2) = 0 . . . . . . . factor

We can use the zero product rule to find the solutions. The product will be zero only if a factor is zero.

  3w -25 = 0   ⇒   w = 25/3 = 8 1/3

  w +2 = 0   ⇒   w = -2

The values of w that make the two expressions equivalent are -2 and 8 1/3.

Elena is paid a constant rate for each hour she works. The table shows the amounts of money that Elena earned for various amount
Nikolay [14]

Constant rates are used to illustrate linear functions.

  • The average rate of change is $9.0 per hour
  • The function that models the table is: \mathbf{f(x) = 9x }
  • The amount earned in 7.5 hours is $67.5

<u>(a) The average rate of change</u>

This is calculated using:

\mathbf{Rate = \frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1}}

So, we have:

\mathbf{Rate = \frac{31.5-22.50}{3.5 - 2.5}}

\mathbf{Rate = \frac{9}{1.0}}

\mathbf{Rate = 9.0}

Hence, the average rate of change is $9.0 per hour

<u>(b) A function that models the table of values</u>

Let x represent hours, and y represent the earnings.

So, we have:

\mathbf{y =m (x - x_1) + y_1}

Where:

m =Rate = 9.0

So, we have:

\mathbf{y = 9(x - 2.5) + 22.5}

Expand

\mathbf{y = 9x - 22.5 + 22.5}

\mathbf{y = 9x }

Represent as a function

\mathbf{f(x) = 9x }

Hence, the function that models the table is: \mathbf{f(x) = 9x }

<u>(c) Amount earned for 7.5 hours</u>

This means that x = 7.5

So, we have:

\mathbf{f(7.5) = 9 \times 7.5 }

\mathbf{f(7.5) = 67.5}

Hence, the amount earned in 7.5 hours is $67.5
