APPLICATIONS ON LINEAR FUNCTIONS

Answer the following in a one whole sheet of paper. It will be collected on
Monday, July 14, 2014 during our Math period. No need to copy the
probles. !how coplete solutions.

2.% A high school had 1200 students enrolled in 200( and 1)00 students in 2011. If
the student
population * ' grows as a linear function of tie t, where t is the nuber of years
after 200(.
a% +ow any students will be enrolled in the school in 201),
b% -ind a linear function that relates the student population to the tie t.
..% A )00/liter tan0 full of oil is being drained at the constant rate of 20 liters per
inute.
a% 1rite a linear function " for the nuber of liters in the tan0 after t inutes
$assuing that the
drainage started at t 2 0%.
b% -ind the " and the t intercepts and interpret the.
c% +ow any liters are in the tan0 after 11 inutes and 4) seconds,
4.% 3he graph shown below is that of the linear function that relates the &alue " $in
4% of a car to its age
t, where t is the nuber of years after 2000.
a% -ind the slope
and
interpret it.
b% 1hat will be
the
&alue of the car in
the year 2010,

).% A dri&er starts a 5ourney with 2) gallons in the tan0 of his car. 3he car burns )
gallons for e&ery 100
iles. Assuing that the aount of gasoline in the tan0 decreases linearly,
a% write a linear function that relates the nuber of gallons 6 left in the tan0 after a
5ourney of # iles.
b% 1hat is the &alue and eaning of the slope of the graph of 6,
c% 1hat is the &alue and eaning of the # intercept,
7.% 3he cost of producing # tools by a copany is gi&en by 8$#% 2 1200 # 9 ))00
$in *hp%
a% 1hat is the cost of 100 tools,
b% 1hat is the cost of 101 tools,
c% -ind the di:erence between the cost of 101 and 100 tools.
d% -ind the slope of the graph of 8,
e% Interpret the slope.
;.% A )0/eter by ;0/eter rectangular garden is surrounded by a wal0way of
constant width # eters.
a% 1rite the outside perieter * in
ters
of #.
b% -ind the slope of the graph of *.
c% 1hat is the eaning of the slope
found in b%,
(.% A rectangular wire frae has one of its diensions o&ing at the rate of 0.)
c < second. Its width is constant and e=ual to 4 c. If at t 2 0 the length of the
rectangle is 10 c,
a% what is the length at
tie t.
b% 1rite a forula for the
area A
of the rectangle in ters
of t.
c% 1rite a forula for the
perieter * of the
rectangle in
ters of t.

d% As # increases, which one, the
perieter or the area, increases
faster,
