100-point Question!!! Arthur has decided to start saving for a new computer. His money is currently in a piggy bank at home, modeled by the function s(x) = 85. He was told that he could do the laundry for the house and his allowance would be a(x) = 10(x − 1), where x is measured in weeks. Explain to Arthur how he can create a function that combines the two and describe any simplification that can be done.

Two or more independent functions (say f(x) and g(x)) can be combined to generate a new function (say g(x)) using any of the following approach.

h(x) = f(x) + g(x)h(x)=f(x)+g(x) h(x) = f(x) - g(x)h(x)=f(x)−g(x)

h(x) = \frac{f(x)}{g(x)}h(x)=

g(x)

f(x)

h(x) = f(g(x))h(x)=f(g(x))

And many more.

The approach or formula to use depends on the question.

In this case, the combined function is:

f(x) = 75+ 10xf(x)=75+10x

The savings function is given as

s(x) = 85s(x)=85

The allowance function is given as:

a(x) = 10(x - 1)a(x)=10(x−1)

The new function that combined his savings and his allowances is calculated as:

f(x) = s(x) + a(x)f(x)=s(x)+a(x)

Substitute values for s(x) and a(x)

f(x) = 85 + 10(x - 1)f(x)=85+10(x−1)

Open bracket

f(x) = 85 + 10x - 10f(x)=85+10x−10

Collect like terms

mark as brainiest

f(x) = 85 - 10+ 10xf(x)=85−10+10x

f(x) = 75+ 10xf(x)=75+10x

3 is greater then both of those numbers

$5.41
