Question

100 POINTS, PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. Malik’s weekly pay varies directly to the number of hours he works as a lifeguard. His weekly pay is $229.50 when he works 17 hours. What is his weekly salary when he works 23 hours? Note: Write a direct variation equation representing this situation and use this equation to answer the question. Show all steps.

2. Determine the vertical asymptotes and holes for the graph of the equation below. Show all steps.

y = x+1 / x^2 - 6x - 7.

Answer 1

Answer:  310.5       2) 7 , -1

Step-by-step explanation:

1) divide 229.50 by 17 (13.5) and multiply by 23 (310.5)

2) To find the vertical asymptotes, set the denominator equal to zero and solve for x. This is already factored in, so set each factor to zero and solve. Since the asymptotes are lines, they are written as equations of lines. The vertical asymptotes are 7 and -1.
