Accepted Answer

$$y - 5 = -3(x - 2)$$

Question 9

Which of the following is the equation of a vertical line passing through $$(4, -2)$$?

Accepted Answer

$$x = 4$$

Question 10

A biologist models the population of bacteria as $$P(t) = 200 + 50t$$, where $$t is $$time in hours. What is the slope of the population growth, and what does it represent?

Accepted Answer

Slope is $$50$$, representing the rate of increase in bacteria per hour.

Question 11

Solve the equation $$2x - 5 = 9$$ and classify the solution.

Accepted Answer

Conditional; $$x = 7$$

Question 12

A student’s grade is calculated as $$G = 0.4x + 0.6y$$, where $$x is $$the midterm score and $$y is $$the final exam score. If the student scored $$x = 80$$ and $$y = 90$$, what is their grade?

Accepted Answer

$$G = 0.4(80) + 0.6(90) = 32 + 54 = 86$$

Question 13

Solve the inequality $$3x - 7 \u003c 2$$ and express the solution in interval notation.

Accepted Answer

$$(-\infty, 3)$$

Accepted Answer

$$C = 0.15m + 20$$

Question 16

If $$y$$ varies directly with $$x$$ and $$y = 12$$ when $$x = 3$$, what is the equation relating $$y$$ and $$x$$?

Accepted Answer

$$y = 4x$$

Accepted Answer

$$x = 1$$ and $$x = 3$$

Question 18

A medication’s concentration in the bloodstream is modeled by $$C(t) = 10 - 2t$$, where $$t is $$hours after administration. After how many hours will the concentration reach zero?

Accepted Answer

$$t = 5$$

Question 19

For the function $$f(x) = x^2$ - 6x + 9$$, determine the interval where the function is decreasing.

Accepted Answer

$$(-\infty, 3)$$
