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.

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

False.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a residence whose primary usage is for rental purpose, its expenses must still be allocated between personal and rental days as agreed between the client and the owner

All terms of agreement remains valid and there's no other allocation of expenses that will be required. The taxpayer cannot claim any deduction for the full amount of the expenses.
