Joshua is planning to make a large consumer purchase. If the item costs x dollars in his home state of West Virginia, where the tax rate is 6%, the function f(x) = 0.06x + x represents his total costs. Write a function g(x) to represent Joshua’s total costs if he decides to make the purchase in his neighboring state of Virginia, where the tax rate is 5%. How will the graph of g(x) differ from f(x)?
