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

the barkery you choose costs $1,000 per month to rent. The bakery that you almost rented was 1/4 the cost but was much too small
liubo4ka [24]
Well the easiest way to figure out this question is to just divide it by 4, like quarters, so 1000 divided by 4 is 250. so the other bakery was only 250. hope this helped

20,000 times 0.8 is 16,000, so the decreased value that was lost was 20% of the original price.
