00:01
So our ultimate goal in this problem is to write a piecewise function to represent the salary that this salesperson would make.
00:06
So we're going to have f of x equals and then we'll set up our piecewise function.
00:10
So there's our brace.
00:11
Well, notice that this person is going to make $1 ,000 a month.
00:15
Then once they reach $50 ,000 in sales, they're going to earn an additional 6 % commission.
00:22
So we're going to use x to represent the amount of sales.
00:25
So f of x would be what he earns in salary.
00:28
Well, our turning point is going to be in terms of when he finally sells $50 ,000.
00:34
So before that, all he's going to make is $1 ,000.
00:37
So that's going to be the first piece to this piecewise function...
