Question

The hourly wage increase each employee receives each year depends on their number of years of service. Every three years of service means an increase of $0.50 per hour. So, employees that have been with the company for less than three years can expect to receive an increase of $0.50 per hour. Employees that have been with the company for at least three years, but less than six years can expect an increase of $1.00. Employees that have been with the company for at six years, but less than nine years, receive an increase of $1.50 per hour. And, employees of at least nine years, but less than twelve years receive an increase of $2.00. Write a function to represent this scenario.

Which graph represents this wage increase for x < 12?

Answer 1

x<12

Explanation:

its not that hard people

Answer 2

If we have x stand as the number of years of service inside the company, and f(x) would serve as the as the increase in the wage, these would be the steps.
f(x) = 0.5 x < 3
1.0 3 ≤ x < 6
1.5 6 ≤ x < 9
2.0 9 ≤ x < 12
So, the point located at (2, 12) represents the amount of wage increase of
x < 12
