Example #1
(Write this example down in your notes)
You receive a $5.00 off a pair of jeans coupon in the mail.
When you arrive at the store, you find that all jeans are 25% off.
Let x represent the original cost of the jeans.
3
1. Write a function f(x) that represents the effect of your original coupon in the mail.
**Try to write function first BEFORE watching video**
4
1. Write a function g(x) that represents the effect of the 25% discount at the store.
**Try to write function first BEFORE watching video**
5
Multiple Choice
Write the composition of functions that represents how much you would pay if you used the mail coupon FIRST, followed by applying the discount from the store.
(f°g)(x)
(g°f)(x)
6
Video Explanation of Composition of Function
You used the mail coupon FIRST, followed by applying the discount from the store.
you applied the discount from the store 2nd.
7
Multiple Choice
Simplify the function (g°f)(x), that represents how much you would pay if you used the mail coupon FIRST, followed by applying the store discount.
(f°g)(x)=.75x−5
(f°g)(x)=.75x−3.75
(g°f)(x)=.75x−5
(g°f)(x)=.75x−3.75
