Question

Internet Purchases An Internet bookstore charges $\$ 15$ shipping for orders under $\$ 100$ but provides free shipping for orders of $\$ 100$ or more. The cost $C$ of an order is a function of the total price $x$ of the books purchased, given by $$ C(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll} x+15 & \text { if } x<100 \\ x & \text { if } x \geq 100 \end{array}\right. $$ a. Find $C(75), C(90), C(100),$ and $C(105)$ b. What do your answers in part (a) represent?

Key Concepts

Conditional Definitions

Conditional definitions in functions specify different formulas or rules for different subsets of the domain. They help represent real-world scenarios where outcomes differ based on specific conditions.

Interpreting Function Outputs

Interpreting function outputs means understanding the significance of the calculated values in context. It connects the numeric results generated by a function to the practical implications they represent.

Piecewise Functions

Piecewise functions are functions defined by different expressions over various intervals of the domain. They are used to model situations where the rule governing a function changes depending on the value of the input.

Function Evaluation

Function evaluation involves substituting a specific number into a function to find the output. This process is essential for understanding how the function behaves at different inputs.
