- 4. The BestElect electronics store is having a sale on November 8th on any new electronics purchased. Every customer will receive $50 off their purchase of a new electronic item. They are also offering a student discount on every item in the store for the whole month of November. If you can prove you are a student, you will receive 15% off any item. Let x be the price of any new electronic item in the store. a. Write a function P(x) that represents the price of a new electronic item on November 8th for any customer. b. Write a function D(x) that represents the price you will pay for an item after the student discount is applied during any day in November. Now, we have two functions P and D that depend on the price of the item, x. P is a rule that says "take the price of the item, then subtract $50." D is a rule that says "take the price, then take 85% of it." If you want to take advantage of both sales, a composition of functions is necessary! But is there a difference between P(D(x))…Suppose Steve derives 3 units of utility from consuming either 1 cup of milk or 2 glasses of apple juice.
