Answer:
Kate's possible hourly rate of pay: $34.75
Hours of overtime: 100
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find Kate's hourly wage, we can set up an equation based on the number of hours she works per week and the estimated number of overtime hours to equal her total pay for the year. If Kate works 36 hours/week and there are 52 weeks in a year, her total hours for one year are: 36 x 52 = 1872. Setting up an equation based on her total earnings of $72,000:
1872x + 100(2x) = 72000, where 'x' is the hourly rate and '2x' is her overtime rate which is double time.
Combine like terms: 1872x + 200x = 72000 or 2072x = 72000
Divide both sides by 2072: 2072x/2072 = 72000/2072
Solve for x: x = $34.75
Kate's hourly rate is estimated at $34.75. We can check to see if this is correct by putting this value back into our original equation:
1872(34.75) + 100(2)(34.75) = 65052 + 6950 = 72002
The answer of $72,002 is very close to $72,000 and the best estimate of Kate's hourly wage and overtime hours.
I one is 8x<24 and -8≤2x-4
Hence x <24/8 =3 and -4≤2x: divide by positive 2 to get -2≤x
Hence solution is -2≤x<3
Therefore c is the correct matching for 1.
2) 5x-2>13 or -4x≥8
i.e. 5x>15 or x≤8/(-4) = -2 (since dividing by negative inequality reverses)
Or x>3 or x ≤-2
Hence solution is two regions to the right of 3 excluding 3 and left of -2 including -2.
Graph b is the correct match.
3) -25≤9x+2<20
Subtract 2
-27≤9x<18: Now divide by positive 9
-3≤x<2
Hence graph is the region between -3 and 2 including only -3.
Graph a is correct matching for question 3.
Answer: c) The base is 2.
Reason: It is an exponential function because the variable (2) depends on the x.
The first step is to identify the order in which the equation must be solved, by following PEMDAS (you might know it as BEDMAS):
Parenthesis (or Brackets)
Exponents
Multiplication and Division
Addition and Subtraction
My advice would be to add parenthesis, following these rules, if you are not very good at finding them immediately by sight.
So:
