represents the cost to purchase l
lip glosses, including the flat rate shipping cost, does finding C(−2)
make sense in the context of this function? (1 point)

No, it does not make sense because one cannot purchase -2 lip glosses.
To determine if finding C(-2) makes sense in the context of this function, we need to evaluate what it represents. In this case, C(l) represents the cost to purchase l lip glosses, including the flat rate shipping cost.
Since -2 is a negative value, it does not make sense in the context of purchasing lip glosses. One cannot purchase a negative quantity of lip glosses. Therefore, the answer is "No, it does not make sense because one cannot purchase -2 lip glosses."
