Answer:
1 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
one and a half because you have a half leftover and 1 whole
If we let x as the number of years of service in the company and f(x) as the increase in the wage, the step wise function that describes the scenario is
f(x) = { 0.5, x < 3
{ 1.0, 3 ≤ x < 6
{ 1.5, 6 ≤ x < 9
{ 2.0, 9 ≤ x < 12
The point (2, 12) represents the wage increase of x < 12
0.04 is multiplied 10 times to get 0.004
The slope is approximately 1.7x+5
