Calculation:  x represents the original score of a student.  10% of x is given by,  10100×x=0.1x  So when the score is increased by 10%, the new score is given by,  x+0.1x = 1.1x  Therefore,  The function that represents the score increased by 10% is given by f(x) = 1.lx  When the original score is increased by 8 points,  The new score is given by,  x+8  Therefore,  The function that represents the score increased by 8 points is given by g(x) =x + 8.
