Suppose you are paid an annual salary, plus a bonus of 20% on annual sales over $500,000. Consider the two functions f(x) = x − 500,000 and g(x) = 0.2x where x equals your annual sales. Which function composition gives the bonus amount when your sales are over $500,000?

A) x(f(g))

B) x(g(f))

C) g(f(x))

D) f(g(x))

Answer:

C. [tex]g\,\circ \, f (x) =g(f(x))[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be [tex]f(x) = x-500000[/tex] the excedent on annual sales and [tex]g(x) = 0.2\cdot x[/tex] the bonus factor, to determine the bonus amount a composition of [tex]f(x)[/tex] is [tex]g(x)[/tex] must be done. That is:

[tex]g\,\circ \, f (x) =g(f(x))[/tex]

Hence, the right answer is C.
