Answer:
Lindsey earned a commission of $6.23
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Commission rate = 5%
Amount of merchandise bought by customer = $124.50
Commission amount = 5% of 124.50
Commission amount =
Commission amount = 0.05 * 124.50
Commission amount = $6.225
Rounding off to nearest cent
Commission amount = $6.23
Hence,
Lindsey earned a commission of $6.23
<u>Part A</u>:
<u>Part B</u>: rate of change in section B is 16 times as great
<h3>Explanation:</h3><u>Part A</u>:
The rate of change is computed as ...
... rate of change = (change in g(x)) / (change in x)
In section A, this is ...
... (change in g(x)) / (change in x) = (24 - 6)/(1 - 0) = 18
In section B, this is ...
... (change in g(x)) / (change in x) = (384 -96)/(3 -2) = 288
<u>Part B</u>:
The function, like any exponential function, increases at an increasing rate. The increase in the rate of change reflects the fact that as x increases, the rate of change of g(x) increases. (See the attachment for a graph.)
