As part of their employee benefits, all workers at Middletown Electronics receive a pension that is calculated by multiplying the number of years worked times 1.65% of the average of their three highest years' salary. Maureen has worked for Middletown for 27 years and is retiring. Her highest salaries are $97,000, $97,800, and $98,198. Calculate Maureen's pension.

when functions are first introduced, you will probably have some simplistic "functions" and relations to deal with, usually being just sets of points. these won't be terribly useful or interesting functions and relations, but your text wants you to get the idea of what the domain and range of a function are. small sets of points are generally the simplest sorts of relations, so your book starts with those.

step-by-step explanation:

state the domain and range of the following relation. is the relation a function?

{(2, –3), (4, 6), (3, –1), (6, 6), (2, 3)}

the above list of points, being a relationship between certain x's and certain y's, is a relation. the domain is all the x-values, and the range is all the y-values. to give the domain and the range, i just list the values without duplication:

domain: {2, 3, 4, 6}

range: {–3, –1, 3, 6}

(it is customary to list these values in numerical order, but it is not required. sets are called "unordered lists", so you can list the numbers in any order you feel like. just don't duplicate: technically, repetitions are okay in sets, but most instructors would count off for this.)

while the given set does indeed represent a relation (because x's and y's are being related to each other), the set they gave me contains two points with the same x-value: (2, –3) and (2, 3). since x = 2 gives me two possible destinations (that is, two possible y-values), then this relation is not a function.

note that all i had to do to check whether the relation was a function was to look for duplicate x-values. if you find any duplicate x-values, then the different y-values mean that you do not have a function. remember: for a relation to be a function, each x-value has to go to one, and only one, y-value.

state the domain and range of the following relation. is the relation a function?

{(–3, 5), (–2, 5), (–1, 5), (0, 5), (1, 5), (2, 5)}

i'll just list the x-values for the domain and the y-values for the range:

$2^{2x+11}=3^{x-31}$

take the logarithm of both sides (the base of the log doesn't matter):

$\ln2^{2x+11}=\ln3^{x-31}$

apply the exponent property - this says that $\ln a^b=b\ln a$ :

$(2x+11)\ln2=(x-31)\ln3$

distribute the log terms on both sides:

$(2\ln2)x+11\ln2=(\ln3)x-31\ln3$

group like terms together:

$(2\ln2-\ln3)x=-11\ln2-31\ln3$

divide through both sides by the coefficient on $x$ :

$x=-\dfrac{11\ln2+31\ln3}{2\ln2-\ln3}$

you can do some additional rewriting here using the properties of the logarithm to simplify things if you like:

$x=-\dfrac{\ln2^{11}+\ln3^{31}}{\ln2^2-\ln3}$

$x=-\dfrac{\ln2^{11}3^{31}}{\ln\frac43}$

$x=-\log_{4/3}2^{11}3^{31}$

third choice down

step-by-step explanation:

the first inequality is based on the number of adults and campers, and the second inequality is based on the cost of feeding both the adult and the camper.

we know that there is room for 525 people max. it's ok to have less than 525, but it's not ok to have more than 525, so the inequality is less than or equal to. the number combination of adults (x) and campers (y) cannot exceed this 525 max. therefore:

x + y ≤ 525

now we talk about cost. it costs $9 to feed one adult, so depending upon the number of adults you have (x) depends upon how much it will cost to feed that number of adults. same with the campers, who cost $5 to feed. the adults can be represented by 9x and the campers can be represented by 5y. since the budget cannot exceed 1,200, the second inequality is:

9x + 5y ≤ 1200
