Answer

$W(h)=\begin{cases} 16h,0\lt h\leq 40\\ 24(h-40)+640,h\gt 40 \end{cases}$

Work Step by Step

We are given the function for a regular week of 40 hours: $W(h)=\begin{cases} 14h,0\lt h\leq 40\\ 21(h-40)+560,h\gt 40 \end{cases}$ When the hourly payment increases to 16, the payment for overtime will be $(1.5(16)$, so the new function will be: $W(h)=\begin{cases} 16h,0\lt h\leq 40\\ (1.5(16))(h-40)+40(16),h\gt 40 \end{cases}$ $W(h)=\begin{cases} 16h,0\lt h\leq 40\\ 24(h-40)+640,h\gt 40 \end{cases}$
