A store manager wants to determine how much to pay her employees. The number of hours the employees work is x, and the hourly wa

ge that they are paid is y. The store manager is willing to pay the employees a wage given by the equation 10y-30x=20 . The business owner states that the employees should be paid a wage given by the equation 6y+30x=60. If the two equations were added then simplified to determine hourly wage, y, how much would the employees be paid?

Answer:

<em>The employees will work for 1 hour, will earn $5 per hour and will be paid $5</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>System of Equations</u>

The number of hours the employees work is x.

And the hourly wage that they are paid is y. The store manager is willing to pay the employees a wage given by the equation

10y-30x=20

The business owner states that the employees should be paid a wage given by the equation

6y+30x=60

Adding both equations we have:

16y = 80

Dividing by 16:

y = 80/16 = 5

Substituting into the first equation:

10*5-30x=20

Operating and simplifying:

50-30x=20

50 - 20 = 30x

30x = 30

x = 30/30 = 1

Thus, the employees will work for 1 hour, will earn $5 per hour and will be paid $5

ALGEBRA 1, SEMESTER 2
SIZIF [17.4K]

So firstly, we have to find f(x) when x = 8 and x = 0. Plug the two numbers into the x variable of the function to solve for their f(x):

f(0)=\frac{2*0+3}{3*0-3}\\ f(0)=\frac{0+3}{0-3}\\ f(0)=\frac{3}{-3}\\ f(0)=-1\\ \\ f(8)=\frac{2*8+3}{3*8-3}\\ f(8)=\frac{16+3}{24-3}\\ f(8)=\frac{19}{21}

Now that we have their y's, we can use the slope, aka average rate of change, formula, which is \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} . Using what we have, we can solve it as such:

\frac{\frac{19}{21}-(-1)}{8-0}=\frac{\frac{40}{21}}{8}=\frac{40}{21*8}=\frac{40}{168}=\frac{5}{21}

In short, the average rate of change from x = 0 to x = 8 is 5/21.

The height of a ball t seconds after it is thrown upward from a height of 6 feet and with an initial velocity of 80 feet per sec
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

f(2) = f(3) = 102 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The height f at t = 2 seconds is given by:

f(t) = -16t^2 + 80t + 6\\f(2) = -16*2^2 + 80*2 + 6\\f(2)=-64+160+6\\f(2)=102\ ft

The height f at t = 3 seconds is given by:

f(t) = -16t^2 + 80t + 6\\f(3) = -16*3^2 + 80*3 + 6\\f(3)=-144+240+6\\f(3)=102\ ft

For both t =2 and t =3, the expression results in a height of 102 ft, therefore f(2) = f(3) = 102 ft.
