Someone help pleas A employer, who started a new business, has promised his employees a minimum starting wage of $3, with an increase of $2 every 4 years. Sketch a graph of wage as a function of time for 16 years. Assume the wages take effect at the beginning of the year where the change is made. (HINT : use a step function to represent the function.)

Upload your graph in the box below.

y = 3 for 0 <= x < 4

y = 5 for 4 <= x < 8

y = 7 for 8 <= x < 12

y = 9 for 12 <= x < 16

y = 11 for 16 <= x < 20

x represents the number of years of employment.

for example, when x = 4, the employee has been there a full 4 years and is entitled to an additional 2 dollars wage to make the total wage equal to 3 + 2 = 5.

your graph stops at x = 16 because that's the number of years being considered.

at x = 16, the wage will be 11 dollars.

the closed circle indicates the value of y is valid at that value of x.

an open circle indicates the value of y is not valid at that value of x.

for example, when x = 4, y = 3 is not valid anymore, but y = 5 is.

on the 16th year of employment, the employee is entitled to an additional 2 dollars wage and starts earning at a wage of 11 dollars.

at employment (x = 0), the employee starts earning a wage of 3 dollars.

at 4 years (x = 4), the employee starts earning a wage of 5 dollars.

at 8 years (x = 8), the employee starts earning a wage of 7 dollars.

at 12 years (x = 12), the employee starts earning a wage of 9 dollars.

at 16 years (x = 16), the employee starts earning a wage of 11 dollars.

x represents a full year of employment.

y represents the wage the employee is entitled to earn.
