f(x) = 3x – 2, if x ≥ 0 10hrs, 11hrs and so on. How do we compute for the
salary of the overtime work?
Examples:
1. The base salary of a worker is PHP 60.00 per hour for

3hrs.

Given:
P60 – base salary per hour
150% - additional pay per hour for overtime
x – number of hour/s worked
S – salary
In the given, it says that the worker’s salary is P60 per
hour for the first 8 hours. It means that if he works, for
instance 6 hours, the base pay for him is still P60 per
hour. As well as if he works for 1hr, 2hrs up until 8hrs,
the base pay is still P60 per hour.
He could work up to 8hrs or x = 8, he could work less
than 8hrs or x < 8 and it is still P60 per hour, so, for the
first function and interval, we will have a function
P60x if x ≤ 8.
What did you notice from our example? 9hrs, 10hrs and
11hrs? They are all belong to the interval x > 8.
Therefore, we can conclude that these are all possible x-
value, and they are subtracted by 8. Hence, we can say
that x – 8 is the function representing your overtime
work.
Next, your first 8hrs of work is paid P60 per hour.
Therefore, you just need to multiply P60 by 8 to get the
salary for the first 8hrs of work.
P60 x 8 = P480 salary for the first 8hrs of work
To get your pay for overtime work, you just need to
multiple (x-8) to P90.

The maximum hours the worker to be paid P60 per x - 8 - overtime

hour is 8hrs. Thus, if he exceeds for more than 8hrs, P480 – salary for the first 8hrs of work
there will be a 150% increase in his salary. P90 – additional pay per hour for overtime
P90(x-8) – overtime pay
Therefore, our 2nd interval should be x greater than 8 x > 8 - 2nd interval
or x > 8.

For the 2nd function, let’s have an example first. For 0.035x, if x ≤ 10000
instance, we have an income that is P11500, P12000, T(x) = P350 + 0.05(x – 10000), if x > 10000
P13500, and P15000. How do we compute the excess
P350 + 0.05x – 500
income?
P350 – 500 + 0.05x
-150 + 0.05x
We just simply subtract the first P10000 income for us
0.05x – 150 if x > 10000
to get the excess income.

The final answer:

P11500 – P10000 = P1500
0.035x, if x ≤ 10000
P12000 – P10000 = P2000
T(x) = 0.05x – 150 if x > 10000
P13500 – P10000 = P3500
P15000 – P10000 = P5000
Find:
What did you notice from our example? P11500, How much will the take home salary if your income is

interval x > 10000. Therefore, we can conclude that
these are all possible x-values, and they are subtracted T(x) = 0.05x – 150 if x > 10000
to P10000. Hence, we can say that x – 10000 is your T(x) = 0.05(20000) – 150
excess income. T(x) = 1000 – 150
T(x) = 850 if x > 10000
Next, we need to find the 3.5% income tax for your first

Total income – Total tax = Take home salary
income is different. Thus, P10000 multiplied to 0.035 to

Final answer:

Total take home salary is P19150.

Factoring a trinomial:
Step 3: Find the factors that go in the last positions.
Step 1: Set up a product of two () where each will hold
Factors: two terms.
If you will be multiplying the factors, the product of It will look like this: ( )( )
these factors must be the last term of the trinomial.
Step 2: Find the factors that go in the first positions.
If you will be adding or subtracting the factors, the sum Since we have x squared as our first term, it will look
or difference must be the middle term of the trinomial. like this:

(f*g)(x) = *
𝑥+1 (𝑥+5)(𝑥−4)
Step 3: Find the factors that go in the last positions.

𝑥 2 + 7𝑥 + 6 Factors:

– Factors of 6, 3,2 and 6,1 If you will be multiplying the factors, the product of
- If we will be multiplying the factors 3 * 2 will give us 6 these factors must be the last term of the trinomial.
and 6 * 1 will give us 6 as well. Same result.
- Let’s try adding the factors, 3 + 2 will give us 5 and 6 + If you will be adding or subtracting the factors, the sum
1 will give us 7. or difference must be the middle term of the trinomial.
- Note that when adding or subtracting the factors, the
result must be the coefficient in the middle term. If the (f/g)(x) = f(x)/g(x) Correct denotation
middle term is positive, the resulting factors must be 𝑥 2 +2𝑥+1
positive. If the middle term is negative, the resulting (f/g)(x) = (𝑥 2 −1)
Substitute
factors must be negative.
(𝑥+1)(𝑥+1)
- Therefore, the factors of this trinomial are (x+1) and (f/g)(x) = (𝑥+1)(𝑥−1) Factor the numerator and
