Follow these steps to write a function, P(x), that defines the total weekly pay for employees who work more than 40 hours in a week. (4 points) a. How much does an employee make working the first 40 hours at $14.50 an hour.

Answer 1

happy ramadan to you all

Answer 2

Well you have to multiply the Pay times the days is there a chart?

Answer 3

So pretty much \(P(x)\) is \(f(x)\)

so to make the equation it has to be in \(y=mx+b\) form

so you already have \(y\), this is \(P(x)\)
that makes this \(P(x)=mx+b\)

40 would be the amount of hours worked, so that would be put in \(m\)
\(P(x)=40x+b\)

now, since there is no given \(b\) amount, we assume that it is \(0\)
\(P(x)=40x+0\)

(in the real world minimum wage is what b would be)

to answer the second part input \($14.50\) into \(x\) and solve it.

Answer 4

I like that you dont give exact answers!
