Study Notes
Grocery Carts
- Each grocery cart measures 4 feet in length.
- Total length of a line of carts includes 1 cart length plus an additional 0.5 feet for each extra cart.
- The number of carts is the independent variable while the total length is the dependent variable.
- No carts in line have a total length of 3.5 feet.
Function Rules and Graphing
- For functions like f(x)=x−6 and f(x)=2x+1, the equations represent direct relationships.
- Shipping cost function for shipping a package will be c(x)=5.50 + 0.85x, where x stands for weight in ounces.
- Amusement park charges $25 for entry plus $2 per ride, illustrating a linear cost model.
Cost Calculations
- Repair cost function: C(h)=35h+35, where h represents hours of work.
- If a mechanic works for 2 hours, the total repair cost can be calculated using this function.
Savings and Budgeting
- Tim's savings approach models income over time as a function of months saved.
- Anna saves $50 monthly towards a flat-screen TV costing $1,225, starting with $525 in savings.
- There's an equation s(m)=525 + 50m which depicts her savings function over months.
Truck Rental
- Truck rental cost function: c(m)=85 + 0.25m, covering daily rental and mileage charges.
- Ms. Kai aims to keep her rental spending under $300, which relates to mileage and daily rental constraints.
