Question

Andrew is paid per hour the first 30 hours he works each week. He makes $per hour for each hour he works over 30 hours per week other words total wages fixed wages for 30 hours additional wages at 5 per hour. Apply function notation to answer the following questions about Andrew's wages, Part A Write a function that gives Andrews total wages when he works more than 30 hoursUse the variables w for wages and h for hours.

My question is Explain how this real-life situation is a function. What are the function's input, output, domain, and range?

Answer 1

Andrew’s total wages are a function of the number of hours he works. The input of this function is the total number of hours worked. The output is the total wages earned.

The domain is the number of hours that Andrew can work in a week. A week has 168 hours. He works for 30 hours regularly. So, the domain is D = {30, 31, 32, … , 168}.

Of course, it is unrealistic to expect Andrew to work 24 hours a day for an entire week. 168 simply represents the total possible hours to work.

The range is the money Andrew can make working his usual 30 hours plus any extra hours at $5 per hour: R = {120, 125, 130, ... , 810}.

Answer 2

input is your hours

output is your money

domain is all numbers greater than/equal to 0

range is any number greater than/equal to the amount of money you make per hr
