Megan buys condiments in bulk for her restaurant. The company that she orders ketchup from charges $14.78 per gallon for orders less than 8 gallons. For orders of 8 gallons or more, the cost is $11.99 per gallon of ketchup. Which function represents this situation? side note: f(x)= blank

Below

Step-by-step explanation:

● Orders of 8 gallons or more can be modeled as: x》 8

● For each gallons in the situation above the company charges 11.99 per gallon so: 11.99x

● For orders that are less than 8, the comapny charges 14.78 per gallon

● => 14.78x for x < 8

So the function that represent the situation is the second one

  b.   the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).

step-by-step explanation:

since the length of the interval is the same in each case, we only need to compare the change in y-value to see which is greater.

so the change in y-value for function f is (6 )) = 9.

the table tells us

so the change in y-value for function g is (31 -1) = 30.

the change in y-value of f(x) on the interval is less than the change in y-value of g(x) on the same interval, so the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).

it is b)

hope this : )
