The function that represents the paycheck is an illustration of a linear function
The function is given as:
[tex]f(x) = 11.75x + 50[/tex]
(a) Hours to earn $200000
This means that:
[tex]f(x) = 200000[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]11.75x + 50 = 200000[/tex]
Collect like terms
[tex]11.75x = 200000 - 50[/tex]
[tex]11.75x = 199950[/tex]
Solve for x
[tex]x = \frac{199950}{11.75}[/tex]
[tex]x = 17017[/tex]
(b) See attachment for the graph of [tex]f(x) = 11.75x + 50[/tex]
(c) The possible values
The function is a linear function with a positive slope.
This means that:
Hence,
If you worked more hours; you'd get a nicer car
If you worked less; you'd get a cheaper car
