Answer:

1.  \( f\circ g(x)=0.05x-150

2. \( g\circ f(x)=0.05x-3000

3. The first one represents Dale's commission

Explanation:

1. The composition of the function

                                                             \( f\circ g(x)=f(g(x)) \)    

means that you first apply the function g(x) and then f(x) on the output of g(x).

That is:

  • f(x) = 0.05x
  • g(x) = x - 3000

       f(g(x)=0.05(x - 3000)

       f(g(x))=0.05x-150

2. The composition of the function

                                                             \( g\circ f(x)=g(f(x)) \)                                                                  

means that you first apply the function f(x) and then g(x) on the output of f(x).

That is:

      g(f(x))=((0.05x)-3000)=0.05x-3000

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:

  f(g(x)=0.05(x - 3000)

       f(g(x))=0.05x-150

She is incorrect. It doesn’t matter what sides you label a or b but c matters. The longest side (the hypotenuse) is always c.

Solve the system of equations.
Sloan [31]

Answer:

b.

( -3, -5)

Step-by-step explanation:

6x + 13 = 2x + 1

6x -2x = 1-13

4x = -12

x = -12/4 = -3

y = 6x + 13

y = 6(-3) +13 = -18+13 = -5

(x, y) = (-3,-5)
