Here is a model I have made (I'm not a great artist). There are 42 circles in total, placed in 7 columns. Each column has 6 circles. This model represents 42/7 by splitting 42 into 7 parts, which are the columns, and showing that each column has 6 circles, which is the answer to 42/7.
Answer:
1.
2.
3. The first one represents Dale's commission
Explanation:
1. The composition of the function
means that you first apply the function g(x) and then f(x) on the output of g(x).
That is:
2. The composition of the function
means that you first apply the function f(x) and then g(x) on the output of f(x).
That is:
3. Which one represents Dale's commission
To calculate Dales's commision you must subtract $3,000 from the sales, to find the sales over $3000. That is: x - 3,000, which is the function g(x).
Therefore, you first use g(x).
Then, you must multiply the output of g(x) by 0.05 to find the 5% of the sales over $3,000. That is: 0.05(g((x)) = 0.05(x - 3000) = 0.05x - 150.
Therefore, the composition that represents Dale's commission is the first one:
