Order of Operations, also known as PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication & Division, Addition & Subtraction), can help to simplify an equation by guiding you through the steps to solve it.
This is because it tells you to solve the parentheses. If there is none, but you've already done this, you solve for exponents, etc.
The progressive soling of the equation not only makes it physically shorter, but also brings you closer to the answer.
Hope this helps, and I was the brainliest! :)
Answer:
Option d.$18 to $30
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The quartet earn between $25 and $40 per hour.
so
If they play for 3 hours
then
($25*3)=$75
($40*3)=$120
the quartet will earn between $75 and $120
Divide the money equally between the four members
$75/4=$18.75
$120/4=$30
therefore
Each member can make between $18.75 and $30
A=6200(1+0.0237/12)^12*8
A=7,492.95
Amount earned=7492.95-6200=1,292.95
Answer: No, the friend is correct. In any function, each input value can only lead to one output value. When you input 3 for the x-values, you would get two output values because 3 is included in both equations. To fix this, you need to have the 3 not included in one of the equations.
For example, you could say 
or 
because the input value of 3 would not be included twice.
If you look at the attached screenshot, you will see that if you keep your friend's function, inputting 3 will result in two outputs of 4 and -3, so therefore, 
cannot represent a piecewise function.
