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

Answer & Step-by-step explanation:

When we see the phrase "rate of change" then it means that we are looking for the slope. So, we will need to know the formula for finding slope or the rate of change.

slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Now, let's use this equation to solve for the rate of change of each question.

<u>Problem 1:</u>

Slope=\frac{2-\frac{4}{3}}{0-(-1)}\\\\Slope=\frac{\frac{2}{3}}{1}\\\\Slope=\frac{2}{3}

<em>The rate of change of this equation is 2/3</em>

<u>Problem 2:</u>

<u></u>Slope=\frac{4-2}{1-0}\\\\Slope=\frac{2}{1}\\\\Slope=2<u></u>

<em>The rate of change for this equation is 2</em>

<u>Problem 3:</u>

<u></u>Slope=\frac{10-4}{2-1}\\\\Slope=\frac{6}{1}\\\\Slope=6<u></u>

<em>The rate of change for this equation is 6</em>
