Answer:
f(x) * g(x)
Explanation:
Hours worked per week = 45 hours
Weekly salary = $850 plus ;
3.5% commission on sales above $6,500
Given the functions :
f(x) = 0.035x and
g(x) = x - 6,500
and the fact that Joe’s dad sold enough this week to earn commission, which composition function represents Joe’s dad’s commissions ?
Commission = 3.5 / 100 = 0.035
Let his sales for the week = x ; since his sales exceeds 6,500
Hence, sales on which commission is payable is x - 6,500
Hence, commission for the week :
0.035 × (x - 6,500)
f(x) = 0.035 ; g(x) = (x - 6,500)
Composition function:
f(x) * g(x)
