Help with equation.

Mike has created a function explaining the productivity of his company. He knows his employees produce 80 bicycle parts per hour. He also inventoried his stock and knows that he currently has 90 parts ready to be shipped. What function represents the total bicycles parts (b) in terms of the number of hours (h) worked?

Mike has created a function explaining the productivity of his company. He knows his employees produce 80 bicycle parts per hour. He also inventoried his stock and knows that he currently has 90 parts ready to be shipped. What function represents the total bicycles parts (b) in terms of the number of hours (h) worked?

darkbluechocobo · Answer

(h) = 90h + 80
	
b) = 80b + 90
	
(h) = 80h + 90
	
(b) = 90b + 80

ok so for every hour of work you have 80 part which is represented with 80h and you already have 90 parts. you would represent it like this 80h+90

hope this helped!

darkbluechocobo · Answer

so since its 80 parts per hour it would be h? and since he already has 90 to be shipped that would be the second part?

anonymous · Answer

well it should look like this
$$(B)=80(h)+90$$

anonymous · Answer

sorry for the confusion

let me restate what i said properly...
B is the total parts you have. You make 80 parts per hour 80(h) and have 90 parts already

Okay :3 I believe i understand just to make sure I have another one which has the same concept

anonymous · Answer

alright let me see

Mike has created a function explaining the productivity of his company. He knows his employees produce 40 bicycle parts per hour. He also inventoried his stock and knows that he currently has 500 parts ready to be shipped. What function represents the total bicycles parts (b) in terms of the number of hours (h) worked?

(h) = 40h + 500
	
(b) = 40b + 500
	
(h) = 500h + 40
	
(b) = 500b + 40
So wouldnt this be  A?

darkbluechocobo · Answer

Using the same stuff from the other equation?

anonymous · Answer

yes the question are the same except for the numbers.

anonymous · Answer

is the same*

anonymous · Answer

show me how you would represent the equation

darkbluechocobo · Answer

I would use B=40h since you make forty parts an hour and since you have 500 already the equation would be
B=40h+500

anonymous · Answer

correct! you got it!

darkbluechocobo · Answer

yay :3

anonymous · Answer

can you handle this now on your own?

darkbluechocobo · Answer
