Aim: Function Operations Course: Alg. 2 & Trig. Model Problems A store offers a 10% discount sale on its $25 jeans. You also have a coupon worth $5 off any item. Which is a better deal: 10% off first then subtract the $5 or subtract the $5 and then discount the rest at 10%? Use functional notation/operations; let x represent the original price f(x) = x – 5 g(x) =.90x subtract $5 10% discount g(f(x)) subtract $5; discount 10% discount 10%; subtract $5 f(g(x)) g(x – 5) =.90(x – 5)f(.90x) =.90x – 5 g(f(25))f(g(25)) = 18= 17.50

Aim: Function Operations Course: Alg. 2 & Trig. Hand-in Assignment The regular price of a certain new car is $15,800. The dealership advertised a factory rebate of $1500 and a 12% discount. Compare the sale price obtained by subtracting the rebate first, then taking the discount, with the sale price obtained by taking the discount first, then subtracting the rebate. Use function notation as in a similar problem in your text book (Book B) on page 28 to explain your resulting conclusions on looseleaf – to be handed in.
