Study Notes

Regents Exam Questions A.CED.A.2: Modeling Linear Equations

  • Problem 1: If the width of a rectangle is 4 less than half the length (represented by 'l'), the equation for the width ('w') is w = (1/2)l - 4.
  • Problem 2: A cell phone company charges a base fee of $60 and $0.05 per megabyte of additional data. The total cost ('c') is found using the formula c = 60 + 0.05d, where 'd' is the number of additional megabytes used.
  • Problem 3: A cell phone plan has a base fee of $62 and an overage charge of $30 per gigabyte above 2 gigabytes. The cost ('C') is represented by C = 62 + 30(g - 2) when g > 2 represents gigabytes of data.
  • Problem 4: The cost of a pound of grapes (g) is 15 cents more than a pound of apples (a). The cost of a pound of bananas (b) is twice the cost of a pound of grapes. The equation is b = 2(a + 0.15).
  • Problem 5: A student's earnings are directly proportional to the number of hours worked (h). The equation is d = 6.25h. For 40 hours, earnings would be $250.

Regents Exam Questions A.CED.A.3: Modeling Linear Inequalities

  • Problem 1: A store wants a profit of at least $255 from selling 'd' DVD players and 'c' cordless phones. The profit on DVD players is $75 and on cordless phones is $30. The inequality is 75d + 30c ≥ 255.
  • Problem 2: Joy wants to spend $10 on strawberries (x pounds at $1.60/pound) and raspberries (y pounds at $1.75/pound). The inequality is 1.60x + 1.75y ≤ 10.
  • Problem 3: Peter has $100 to spend on lemonade (x bottles at $2/bottle) and juice boxes (y boxes at $0.50/box). The inequality is 2x + 0.50y ≤ 100.
  • Problem 4: David earns $8 per hour babysitting (x hours) and $11 per hour working at a coffee shop (y hours). He needs to earn at least $200. The inequality is 8x + 11y ≥ 200. If he works 15 hours at the coffee shop, the inequality 8x + 11(15) ≥ 200 finds that he needs at least 25.6 hours of babysitting
  • Problem 5: Two companies offer shirt printing: Company A charges a $50 set-up fee plus $5 per shirt (A = 50 + 5x); Company B charges a $25 set-up fee plus $6 per shirt (B = 25 + 6x). Determining the minimum number of shirts for Company A to be cheaper than Company B requires solving 50 + 5x < 25 + 6x, which answers at least 26 shirts.
  • Problem 6: The senior class has $125 to spend on sports drinks (15.79 per case x ) and bottled water ( 5.69 per case y ). Nine cases of bottled water are purchased. This leads to 15.79x + 5.69(9) ≤125 so the senior class can buy a maximum of 4 cases of sports drinks.
