AI Thread Summary
To determine Rajah's hourly wage, two equations can be set up based on his earnings. Let x represent his hourly wage and y represent the tips earned. The first equation from the first week is 12x + y = 117, and the second equation from the second week is 10x + y = 110. By solving these equations simultaneously, one can find the values of x and y, ultimately revealing Rajah's hourly wage. The discussion emphasizes the importance of forming and solving linear equations to tackle real-world problems.

Rajah earns an hourly wage plus tips. One week he worked 12 h and made a total of \$117. The next week he worked 10 h and earned the same amount in tips as the week before, for a total of \$110. What is Rajah's hourly wage?

I need help getting the two equations

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
