The function C(d)=8d+2
represents the cost to order a box of donuts d, including the flat rate shipping charge.
Does finding C(−2)
make sense in the context of this function?
Responses
Yes, it makes sense because that is the cost of shipping.
Yes, it makes sense because that is the cost of shipping.
No, it does not make sense because -2 is not rational.

To find the cost of ordering a box of donuts, we plug in the value of d into the function C(d)=8d+2. However, in this case, -2 represents the number of boxes of donuts ordered. Since we cannot order a negative number of boxes, it does not make sense to find C(-2) in the context of this function.
