- 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_forwardSuppose 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_forward
- The total revenue (TR in $) for a textbook on mathematical economics is given by the equation TR = 1800Q − Q2 − 44375, where Q is the number of books sold. a.Draw the graph of the TR function using the example as in WolframAlpha. Can you guess the number of books to be sold to maximise the revenue? (Please take a snip of your graph and add it to your document) b. Find the number of books sold when the TR is $765,625? You can apply the quadratic formula or the method of completing squares.arrow_forward1. Find a formula for the function whose graph consists of the line segment from the point (−4,3) to the point (−2,0) and the lower half of the circle centered at the origin with radius 2. 2. If the domain of the function ?=?(?) equals (−1,5]∪[8,10], what is the domain of the new function ?=5?(?+3)−20? Explainarrow_forwarda. When is the function represented by the graph increasing?

Answer choices: 1) Between 0 minutes and 2 minutes 2) Between 2 minutes and 4 minutes 3) Between 4 minutes and 5 minutes 4) Between 5 minutes and 6 minutes Question 2 b. When is the function represented by the graph decreasing? That is, when is the motorcycle’s speed decreasing? Select all that apply. Answer choices: 1) Between 0 minutes and 2 minutes 2) Between 2 minutes and 4 minutes 3) Between 4 minutes and 5 minutes 4) Between 5 minutes and 6 minutes Question 3 c. When is the function represented by the graph constant? That is, when is the motorcycle’s speed constant. Select all that apply. Answer choices: 1) Between 0 minutes and 2 minutes 2) Between 2 minutes and 4 minutes 3) Between 4 minutes and 5 minutes 4) Between 5 minutes and 6 minutesarrow_forward
- After filling out the xy chart and graphing, answer the following: 1. What is the domain of the function? 2. List the increasing and decreasing intervals of the function.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_forwardAt what interval is the graph increasing and decreasing. The question is complete.arrow_forward
- Suppose that a company has just purchased a new computer for $3200. 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 33 years? (e) When will the computer have a book value of $ 2400?arrow_forwardSuppose that a company has just purchased a new computer for $4000. The company chooses to depreciate using the straight-line method for 5 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 $3200?arrow_forwardThe business manager of a 90 unit apartment building is trying to determine the rent to be charged. From past experience with similar buildings, when rent is set at $400, all the units are full. For every $20 increase in rent, one additional unit remains vacant. What rent should be charged for maximum total revenue? 1. What is the maximum total revenue? 2. What is the formula for revenues R after x $20 price hikes in the apartment building? 3. Graph the function 4. Find the maximum revenue (or income) of the apartment building. 5. What is the rent that coincides with this maximum revenue? 6. What is the outcome of the rent hike of $20 results in 2 additional vacancies instead of 1 additional vacancy? Recalculate questions 3, 5, 6 for this new scenario.arrow_forward
