- Suppose you have a job that pays $8.50 per hour and you work anywhere from 10 to 40 hours per week. a. Write an equation, with a restriction on the variable x, that gives the amount of money, y, you will earn for working x hours in one week. b. Use the function rule you have written in part (a) to complete Table 4. c. Construct a line graph from the information in Table 4. d. State the domain and range of this function.arrow_forwardA company determines that its weekly profit from manufacturing and selling x units of a certain item is given by Px=-x3+3x2+2880x-500. Use a graphing utility to find the weekly production rate that will maximize the profit.arrow_forwardA business has a cost function of C=0.4x+8000, where C is measured in dollars and x is the number of units produced. The average cost per unit is given by C=Cx=0.4x+8000x,x0. a. Find the average costs per unit when x=1000,x=8000,x=20,000,andx=100,000. b. What is the horizontal asymptote of the graph of this function, and what does it represent?arrow_forward
- Suppose the range of a function fis [5,8] . What is the range of |f(x)| ?arrow_forwardFor the graph in Figure 3, the domain of the function is [3,3] . The range is [10,10] . Find the absolute minimum of the function on this interval.arrow_forwardSuppose that the function y = f(x) is decreasing on the interval [ - 2, 7].(a) Over what interval is the graph of y = f(x + 2) decreasing?(b) Over what interval is the graph of y = f(x - 5) decreasing?(c) What can be said about the graph of y = - f(x)?(d) What can be said about the graph of y = f( - x)?arrow_forward
- Suppose that a company has just purchased a new computer for $2400. The company chooses to depreciate using the straight-line method for 4 years? (a) Write a linear function that expresses the book value V of the computer as a function of its age x. (b) What is the domain of the function found in part (a)? (c) Graph the linear function. (d) What is the book value of the computer after 2 years? (e) When will the computer have a book value of $600?arrow_forwardA company is planning to manufacture mountain bikes. The fixed monthly cost will be $100,000 and it will cost $100 to produce each bicycle. Solve; a. Write the cost function, C, of producing x mountain bikes. b. Write the average cost function, C*, of producing x mountain bikes. c. Find and interpret C*(500), C*(1000), C*(2000), and C*(4000). d. What is the horizontal asymptote for the graph of the average cost function, C*? Describe what this means in practical terms.arrow_forwardWhen given the equation for a function, how can you determinewhere it is increasing and where it is decreasing?arrow_forward
- A T-shirt manufacturer is planning to expand its workforce. It estimates that the number of T-shirts produced by hiring x new workers is given by T(x)=−0.75x4+9x3, 0≤x≤9. When is the rate of change of T-shirt production increasing and when is it decreasing?( Type your answer in interval notation.) What is the point of diminishing returns and the maximum rate of change for T-shirt production? Graph T and T′ on the same coordinate system.arrow_forwardStudent Loans Data for selected years from 2011and projected to 2023 can be used to show that thebalance of federal direct student loans y, in billions ofdollars, is related to the number of years after 2010,x, by the function y = 130.7x + 699.7.a. Graph the function for x-values corresponding2010 to 2025.b. Find the value of y when x is 13.c. What does this function predict the balance offederal direct student loans will be in 2029?(Source: U.S. Office of Management and Budget)arrow_forwardA2. Ms. Whitmell says that the odd degree function she's looking at has a domain of {x∈ℝ} and {y∈ℝ}. If she solves for the turning points of the function, will that change the values for the domain or range Question 1 options: Yes, it will affect the domain Yes, it will affect the range Yes, it will affect the domain and the range No, it will affect neither the domain nor the rangearrow_forward
