A coupon for $5 off any lunch price states that a 15% tip will be added to the price before the $5 is subtracted. So, C(x) = x - 5 represents the price after the coupon reduction. T(x) = 1.15 x represents the price after the tip is applied. Write the simplified composite functions C(T(x)) and T(C(x)). Which composite function represents the conditions of the coupon?

Answer:

[tex]C(T(x))=1.15x-5[/tex] and [tex]T(C(x))=1.15x-5.75[/tex]

C(T(x)) represents the conditions of the coupon.

Step-by-step explanation:

The price after the coupon reduction is represented by the function

[tex]C(x)=x-5[/tex]

The price after the tip is applied is represented by the function

[tex]T(x)=1.15x[/tex]

We need to find the composite functions C(T(x)) and T(C(x)).

[tex]C(T(x))=C(1.15x)[/tex]            [tex][\because T(x)=1.15x][/tex]

[tex]C(T(x))=1.15x-5[/tex]            [tex][\because C(x)=x-5][/tex]

This function represents that 15% tip will be added first after that $5 is subtracted.

Similarly,

[tex]T(C(x))=T(x-5)[/tex]           [tex][\because C(x)=x-5][/tex]

[tex]T(C(x))=1.15(x-5)[/tex]            [tex][\because T(x)=1.15x][/tex]

[tex]T(C(x))=1.15x-5.75[/tex]

This function represents that $5 is subtracted first after that 15% tip will be added.

It is given that a coupon for $5 off any lunch price states that a 15% tip will be added to the price before the $5 is subtracted.

It means 15% tip will be added first after that $5 is subtracted. So, C(T(x)) represents the conditions of the coupon.
