12. At an exhibition in a museum, there is a light decoration involving several lamps. One lamp is
attached to the wall at a distance of 12 m above the floor. The light from this lamp is directed at a
mirror which is 16 m from the wall and reflects the light onto another wall which is x m from the
mirror. Predict the width of the museum if the height of the reflected light reach the wall in front of
the first wall is 3 m.

14. Steve has a summer job that pays time and a half for overtime. That is, if he works more than 40 hours per
week, his hourly wage for extra hours is 1.5 times his normal hourly wage of $ 30
a. Write a piecewise function that gives his weekly pay P(h) in terms of the number of hours "h" he
works.
