A company pays $20 per hour for up to 8 hours of work, and $30 per hour for overtime hours (hours beyond 8 hours). For up to 8 hours worked, the equation for total pay (y) for hours worked (x) is y = 20x. For over 8 hours worked, what is the equation for total pay (y) as a function of total hours worked (x)?
Answer: y = 30x
Step-by-step explanation:
Because we are talking about over 8 hours. The question states that you get 30$ per hour for overtime hours. That means if you work over 8 hours your dollars per hour increases to 30. So because the amount of dollars increases to 30 you can infer that all you have to do is make the same equation as the 20 dollar's per hour equation. Except you put 30 making it y = 30x.

If the slope of a wheelchair ramp is 1/11 then what is the angle of inclination to the nearest tenth of a degree?
Answer
4.8 degrees to the nearest tenth.
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope = rise / run = opposite side / adjacent side.
So the angle of inclination is the angle whose tangent is 1/12.
To the nearest tenth of a degree it is 4.8 degrees.
Trucks in a delivery fleet travel a mean of 120 miles per day with a standard deviation of 23 miles per day. The mileage per day is distributed normally. Find the probability that a truck drives less than 159 miles in a day. Round your answer to four decimal places.
Answer:
the probability that a truck drives less than 159 miles in a day = 0.9374
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
mean of the truck's speed, (m) = 120 miles per day
standard deviation, d = 23 miles per day
If the mileage per day is normally distributed, we use the following conceptual method to determine the probability of less than 159 miles per day;
1 standard deviation above the mean = m + d, = 120 + 23 = 143
2 standard deviation above the mean = m + 2d, = 120 + 46 = 166
159 is below 2 standard deviation above the mean but greater than 1 standard deviation above the mean.
For normal districution, 1 standard deviation above the mean = 84 percentile
Also, 2 standard deviation above the mean = 98 percentile
143 --------> 84%
159 ---------> x
166 --------- 98%
[tex]\frac{159-143}{166-143} = \frac{x-84}{98-84} \\\\\frac{16}{23} = \frac{x-84}{14} \\\\23(x-84) = 224\\\\x-84 = 9.7391\\\\x = 93.7391\ \%[/tex]
Therefore, the probability that a truck drives less than 159 miles in a day = 0.9374

An article in the November 1983 Consumer Reports compared various types of batteries. The average lifetimes of Duracell Alkaline AA batteries and Eveready Energizer Alkaline AA batteries were given as 4.1 hours and 4.5 hours, respectively. Suppose these are the population average lifetimes.
Required:
Let x̄ be the sample average lifetime of 64 Duracell and ȳ be the sample average lifetime of 64 Eveready Energizer batteries. What is the mean value of x̄- ȳ(i.e., where is the distribution of -centered)?
Answer:
The mean is of -0.4 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question, we need to understand the central limit theorem and subtraction of normal variables.
Central Limit Theorem
The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].
For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.
Subtraction between normal variables:
When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the difference of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.
Mean of the sample of 64 Duracell:
By the Central Limit Theorem, 4.1 hours.
Mean of the sample of 64 Eveready:
By the Central Limit Theorem, 4.5 hours.
Mean of the difference?
Subtraction of normal variables, so we subtract the means.
4.1 - 4.5 = -0.4
The mean is of -0.4 hours.

The residual for the house with 6 bedrooms is -26k.
What is Scatterplots?Scatterplots are the plotting of set of points on a vertical axis and an horizontal axis. The shows the correlation extent between the numbers of the observed quantities.
Given is a scatterplot showing the selling price of houses with the number of bedrooms.
Equation of the line of best fit is given as,
y = 6.3x + 4.8
Residual = Actual value - Predicted value
From the scatterplot,
Actual selling price of house with 6 bedrooms = 40 × 10,000 = 400,000
Predicted selling price for 6 bedrooms = (6.3 × 6) + 4.8
= 42.6 × 10,000
= 426,000
Residual = 400,000 - 426,000
= -26,000
Hence the residual is -26k.

Step-by-step explanation:
CE and are the sides making up the sine of an angle.
CE is the side opposite the angle
DE is the side hypotenuse.
<D = 61 degrees
Sin(D) = opposite / hypotenuse
hypotenuse = 8

CE = ?
sin(61) = CE / 8 multiply both sides by 8

Answer:
1,-3,-5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
f(x)=x^3+7x^2+7x-15
Finding all the possible rational zeros of f(x)
p= ±1,±3,±5,±15 (factors of coefficient of last term)
q=±1(factors of coefficient of leading term)
p/q=±1,±3,±5,±15
Now finding the rational zeros using rational root theorem
f(p/q)
f(1)=1+7+7-15
=0
f(-1)= -1 +7-7-15
= -16
f(3)=27+7(9)+21-15

Seven and one-half foot-pounds of work is required to compress a spring 2 inches from its natural length. Find the work required to compress the spring an additional 3 inch.
Answer:
Apply Hooke's Law to the integral application for work: W = int_a^b F dx , we get:
W = int_a^b kx dx
W = k * int_a^b x dx
Apply Power rule for integration: int x^n(dx) = x^(n+1)/(n+1)
W = k * x^(1+1)/(1+1)|_a^b
W = k * x^2/2|_a^b
From the given work: seven and one-half foot-pounds (7.5 ft-lbs) , note that the units has "ft" instead of inches. To be consistent, apply the conversion factor: 12 inches = 1 foot then:
2 inches = 1/6 ft
1/2 or 0.5 inches =1/24 ft
To solve for k, we consider the initial condition of applying 7.5 ft-lbs to compress a spring 2 inches or 1/6 ft from its natural length. Compressing 1/6 ft of it natural length implies the boundary values: a=0 to b=1/6 ft.
Applying W = k * x^2/2|_a^b , we get:
7.5= k * x^2/2|_0^(1/6)
Apply definite integral formula: F(x)|_a^b = F(b)-F(a) .
7.5 =k [(1/6)^2/2-(0)^2/2]
7.5 = k * [(1/36)/2 -0]
7.5= k *[1/72]
k =7.5*72
k =540
To solve for the work needed to compress the spring with additional 1/24 ft, we plug-in: k =540 , a=1/6 , and b = 5/24 on W = k * x^2/2|_a^b .
Note that compressing "additional one-half inches" from its 2 inches compression is the same as to compress a spring 2.5 inches or 5/24 ft from its natural length.
W= 540 * x^2/2|_((1/6))^((5/24))
W = 540 [ (5/24)^2/2-(1/6)^2/2 ]
W =540 [25/1152- 1/72 ]
W =540[1/128]
W=135/32 or 4.21875 ft-lbs

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.
Total number of countries:
23 + 12 + 47 + 44 + 54 + 14 = 194
Let A = the event that a country is in Asia.
44 of the 194 countries are in Asia, thus:

consider the differential equation x3y ''' + 8x2y '' + 9xy ' − 9y = 0; x, x−3, x−3 ln(x), (0, [infinity]). Verify that the given functions form a fundamental set of solutions of the differential equation on the indicated interval. The functions satisfy the differential equation and are linearly independent since W(x, x−3, x−3 ln(x)) = ≠ 0 for 0 < x < [infinity].
Verifying that a given expression is a solution to the equation is just a matter of plugging in the expression and its derivatives, and making sure that the given expressions are indeed linearly independent.
For example, if y = x, then y' = 1 and the other derivatives vanish. So the DE after substitution reduces to
9x - 9x = 0
which is true for all 0 < x < ∞.
To check for linear independence, you compute the Wronskian, which, judging by what you wrote, you've already done...
