Part 2: using the variables define in part 1, write a function using function notation that represents Ashley's income.


Part 3: Ashley's hours for the last two weeks were 35 hours and 29 hours. Using the function you wrote in part 2, determine her income for each of the two weeks. Show your work.

Week 1: Ashley worked 35 hours. She earned _______.

Week 2: Ashley worked 29 hours. She earned _______.

Respuesta :

Part 1:
Variable x - number of the hours.
Variable y - her total income.
y = f ( x ), Her total income is a function of the hours she worked.
Part 2 :
The function is: y = 15 * x
Part 3 :
f ( 35 ) = 15 * 35 = $525
f ( 29 ) = 15 * 29 = $435
Week 1 : Ashley worked 35 hours. She earned $525.
Week 2: Ashley worked 29 hours. She earned $435.
