Question

A consultant for a major computer company receives $3250 per month as a fee no matter how many hours he works. Using x to represent the number of hours the consultant works each month, write a function, f, in symbolic form to represent the total amount the consultant recieves each month.

Answer 1

The function is;

f(x) = $3,250

Explanation:

The fixed amount the consultant receives each month = $3,250

The number of hours the consultant works each month = x

Let f(x) represent the function of the total amount the consultant receives each month

Therefore;

The function f(x) = The total amount the consultant receives each month = The fixed amount the consultant receives = $3,250

∴ f(x) = $3,250.

The function 'f' which represents the total amount the consultant receives each month is f(x) = $3,250 (Given that the consultant receives a constant amount each month).
