Question

Maggie tells you she is deciding between two jobs for which the pay is calculated by the functions A(x) = 5x+20 B(x) = 20x+5 Explain in detail which job (A or B), if either is better, you would recommend she take and for what reasons.

Answer 1

Answer:

B(x) is the better option

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that these functions represent the pay f(x) in hours, x. Function B would increase linearly on a greater scale because each X is being multiplied by 20.

You'll notice this trend for larger numbers, such as 10.

A(x) = 5(10) + 20 = 70

B(x) = 20(10) + 5 = 205

Therefore, your answer is B.

Answer 2

B(x). if you it out you should probably get B (x)
