Analysis Of Mexican Pesos

Improved Essays
I learned that to find the value in Mexican pesos of an item that costs 15 Chinese yuan using function, I first need to reuse the equation f(x)=0.15, using that equation, I plugged in 15 (given- Chinese yuan) in to the equation and got f(x)=2.25. Utilizing the 2.25, I plugged it into the g(y)=14.07y function, where g(y)=14.07(2.25) turned out to be 31.6575. I rounded the solution up, and got 15 Chinese yuan to be about 32 Mexican pesos. We didn't really need to use the composition function that I calculated from 46a, but the tutor and me used the given functions inside the problem because when we tried to plug in 15 for x in this equation; h(x)=0.474x, it doesn't work. We decided to plug the given number from 46b to the functions in the problem

    To experience a local aspect of Hispanic culture I visited the Tienda Mexicana La Guadalupana, a grocery store in Chapel Hill. Once inside, the term that came to mind when looking around was bodega. The store was small, but made clear use of its space, with items on the walls, shelves, and even the ceiling. This is in contrast to most “American”, or english speaking, grocery stores I have been to, as they are often wide and spacious, with plenty or room to showcase products. They commonly have bright lights; light, colorful walls; ads and signs everywhere with directions and promotional deals; and music playing over loudspeakers.…
