Jill would like an increase in the hourly wage she receives from the Mathematics Research Center, where she works in the mail ro

om. Her boss gives her an equation to solve, telling her that her raise is the solution to the equation, but only if she can solve it. The equation is x 2- 6x + 9 = 0. What was the amount of her raise per hour? Answer:

Answer:

<em>Her raise per hour is $3.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Quadratic Equation</u>

The standard representation of a quadratic equation is:

ax^2+bx+c=0

where a,b, and c are constants.

It can be solved by using the quadratic formula:

\displaystyle x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

Jill asks for an increase in the hourly wage she receives. Since she works in a Maths Center, the increase comes as a maths equation.

She must solve the equation:

x^2-6x+9=0

The solution to the equation is the increase in her hourly wage.

Comparing with the general form, we have a=1, b=-6, c=9. Thus, the solutions are:

\displaystyle x=\frac{-(-6)\pm \sqrt{(-6)^2-4(1)(9)}}{2(1)}

\displaystyle x=\frac{6\pm \sqrt{36-36}}{2}

\displaystyle x=\frac{6\pm \sqrt{0}}{2}

Since the square root is 0, there is only one solution:

\displaystyle x=\frac{6}{2}=3

x = 3

Thus, her raise per hour is $3.

F(x)= x-2/ x-4
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

The discontinuity is x = 4

There no holes

The equation of the vertical asymptote is x = 4

The x intercept is 2

The equation of the horizontal asymptote is y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain the problem

∵ f(x)=\frac{x-2}{x-4}

- To find the point of discontinuity put the denominator = 0 and find

 the value of x

∵ The denominator is x - 4

∵ x - 4 = 0 ⇒ add 4 to both sides

∴ x = 4

* The discontinuity is x = 4

- A hole occurs when a number is both a zero of the numerator

 and denominator

∵ The numerator is x - 2

∵ x - 2 = 0 ⇒ add 2 to both sides

∴ x = 2

∵ The denominator is x - 4

∵ x - 4 = 0 ⇒ add 4 to both sides

∴ x = 4

∵ There is no common number makes the numerator and denominator

   equal to 0

∴ There no holes

- Vertical asymptotes are vertical lines which correspond to the zeroes  

  of the denominator of the function

∵ The zero of the denominator is x = 4

∴ The equation of the vertical asymptote is x = 4

- x- intercept is the values of x which make f(x) = 0, means the

 intersection points between the graph and the x-axis

∵ f(x) = 0

∴ \frac{x-2}{x-4}=0 ⇒ by using cross multiplication

∴ x - 2 = 0 ⇒ add 2 to both sides

∴ x = 2

* The x intercept is 2

- If the highest power of the numerator = the highest power of the

 denominator, then the equation of the horizontal asymptote is

 y = The leading coeff. of numerator/leading coeff. of denominator

∵ The numerator is x - 2

∵ The denominator is x - 4

∵ The leading coefficient of the numerator is 1

∵ The leading coefficient of the denominator is 1

∴ y = 1/1 = 1

* The equation of the horizontal asymptote is y = 1
