Afurniture store is having a weekend sale and is offering a 20% discount on patio chairs and tables. the sales tax on furniture is 6.25%. using function composition, how can you represent the total amount, a, that you would need to pay for furniture that costs x dollars?

P(x)=0.085x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of the item be x

Discount = 20% of x

We know that 20%=

Hence

Discount = 0.02x

Selling Price = x - 0.02x

Selling Price = 0.08x

Tax = 6.25% of Selling price

Tax = 0.0625*(0.08)x

Tax=0.005x

Net payment to be made = selling price + Tax

Net Payment = 0.08x+0.005x

Net payment = 0.085x

Hence we can write our function as

P(x)=0.085x

step-by-step explanation:

. your answer will contain x - and y -terms. (1 point) x ( ¿¿ 2 − 7 ) 2 +( y 2 − 9 ) 2 √ ¿ 12. what is the distance from the directrix (the crocodile river) to the point ( x , y )? write this equation. your answer will contain a y -term.

(- 1, 0 )

step-by-step explanation:

an x- intercept is where the function crosses the x- axis.

to find the x- intercept/s look for the value of x when f(x) = 0

from the given table there are 3 values of x where f(x) = 0

when x = - 1, x = 2, x = 3

the one that is listed is (- 1, 0 )
