Answer:
$0.96
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find the cost of the 24 bottles, by multiplying 24 by 2
24(2)
= 48
Find the commission by finding 2% of 48
48(0.02)
= 0.96
So, the commission will be $0.96
(=-27) because that’s the end answer
The average rate of change (AROC) of a function f(x) on an interval [a, b] is equal to the slope of the secant line to the graph of f(x) that passes through (a, f(a)) and (b, f(b)), a.k.a. the difference quotient given by
![f_{\mathrm{AROC}[a,b]} = \dfrac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=f_%7B%5Cmathrm%7BAROC%7D%5Ba%2Cb%5D%7D%20%3D%20%5Cdfrac%7Bf%28b%29-f%28a%29%7D%7Bb-a%7D)
So for f(x) = x² on [1, 5], the AROC of f is
![f_{\mathrm{AROC}[1,5]} = \dfrac{5^2-1^2}{5-1} = \dfrac{24}4 = \boxed{6}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=f_%7B%5Cmathrm%7BAROC%7D%5B1%2C5%5D%7D%20%3D%20%5Cdfrac%7B5%5E2-1%5E2%7D%7B5-1%7D%20%3D%20%5Cdfrac%7B24%7D4%20%3D%20%5Cboxed%7B6%7D)
I got 6 units^2. So the answer is the second choice. ab/2 = 3*4/2 = 6.
