Number 4: the slope is 3/4
number 5: y-intercept is 2
9514 1404 393
Answer:
12/x^5
Step-by-step explanation:
The fractions are multiplied in the usual way. The applicable rule of exponents is ...
(x^a)(x^b) = x^(a+b)
__
Let same number of hours = x,
since the salary earned is also the same, then
Salary of supervisor A = $25x
Salary of supervisor B = $20(30)+$30(x-30)
Equating
25x=600+30(x-30)
30x-25x=900-600
5x=300
x=60 hours
Check:
Salary of supervisor A = 25*60=1500
Salary of supervisor B = 20*30+30*(60-30)=600+900=1500, ok.
The function with the smallest rate of change is B.
Rate of change is like slope, the vertical change over the horizontal change.
The horizontal change for each of these choices will be ONE since 3-2 = 1.
Plug 2 in for x to find y, then plug 3 in for x and find y. Subtract the y values and you will get the rate of change as follows:
A) 30
B) 7
C) 192
D) 12
