A consultant for a major computer company receives $3250 per month as a fee no matter how many hours he works. Using x to repres
ent the number of hours the consultant works each month, write a function, f, in symbolic form to represent the total amount the consultant recieves each month.
The fixed amount the consultant receives each month = $3,250
The number of hours the consultant works each month = x
Let f(x) represent the function of the total amount the consultant receives each month
Therefore;
The function f(x) = The total amount the consultant receives each month = The fixed amount the consultant receives = $3,250
∴ f(x) = $3,250.
The function 'f' which represents the total amount the consultant receives each month is f(x) = $3,250 (Given that the consultant receives a constant amount each month).
The fastest way to do this is to convert both equations into slope-intercept form and graph it to find the solution point. If you wanted to do this algebraically, you might want to start out by getting rid of the fractions and using either substitution or elimination to find x and y.
