1. A rectangle has side lengths (x + 4) feet

and (2x + 1) feet for x > 0. Write a

function that describes the area A, in square feet, in terms of x.

A(x) = 3x + 5

A(x) = 6x + 10

A(x) = 2x2 + 9x + 4

A(x) = 2x2 + 7x − 4

functions correctly describe the combined volume V of both tanks after t minutes?

V(t) = 10,000 − 10t + 13t

V(t) = 10,000 − 10t − 13t

V(t) = 10,000 + 10t − 13t

V(t) = 10,000 − 3t

V(t) = 10,000 + 3t

The square enclosure will be 200 feet by

200 feet. The rectangular enclosure will be 100 feet by 200 feet. The vertex of the function, (200, 60000), is a maximum.

This means that the combined area of the enclosures is maximized when s = 200. Since s is the side length of the square, the square is 200 feet by 200 feet. Since

the rectangle shares a side with the square, one of its dimensions is 200 feet. The other is given by the expression 600 − 2.5s.

600 − 2.5(200) = 600 − 500

Thus, the rectangle is 100 feet by

= −2 x2 + 8x +16 −16( )− 34

= −2 x2 + 8x +16( ) + 32− 34

6. a. An arithmetic sequence models this

situation because there is a common

difference between every term.

334 − 306 = 28 362 − 334 = 28

390 − 362 = 28

b. Since the common difference is 28, the first term of the sequence is p = 2,

and c(2) = 306, an explicit formula that models this situation is c(p) = 306 + 28(p − 2) for p ≥ 2.

A recursive formula that models this

situation is c(2) = 306, c(p) = c(p − 1) + 28, for p ≥ 3.

c. Substitute 44 for p in the explicit formula, c(p) = 306 + 28(p − 2).

c(p) = 306 + 28(44 − 2)= 306 + 28(42)= 306 +1176= 1482

3. Possible answer: The graph of f(x) is reflected about the y-axis, shifted left 1 unit, vertically stretched by a factor of 2, reflected about the x-axis, and shifted up 3 units to obtain g(x).

Rubric 5 points for transformations; 1 point for graph

4. The slope m acts as a vertical stretch or shrink factor. If 0 < |m| < 1, then the graph of g(x) is a vertical shrink of the graph of f(x) by a factor of m. If |m| > 1, then the graph of g(x) is a vertical stretch of the graph of f(x) by a factor of m. The sign of the slope can also transform the graph of g(x). If m < 0, then the graph of g(x) is a reflection about the x-axis of the graph of f(x). If m > 0, no reflection occurs.
