The hourly wage increase each employee receives each year depends on their number of years of service. Every three years of serv
ice means an increase of $0.50 per hour. So, employees that have been with the company for less than three years can expect to receive an increase of $0.50 per hour. Employees that have been with the company for at least three years, but less than six years can expect an increase of $1.00. Employees that have been with the company for at six years, but less than nine years, receive an increase of $1.50 per hour. And, employees of at least nine years, but less than twelve years receive an increase of $2.00. Write a function to represent this scenario.
Which graph represents this wage increase for x < 12?

To solve this, we would need to figure out the values of for which an absolute value is negative. From basics, you should know that an absolute value is always greater than or equal to 0.
If we rearrange this equation a little bit, we get,
So <em>cannot </em>be negative. So,
For this to <em>have </em>a solution, k needs to be greater than or equal to .
For <em>no solution</em>, k is less than -5. So, values of k which will make the equation to <em>not </em>have any solution is .
