Accepted Answer

$$6$$

Question 7

A car was purchased for $$22,500$$ and depreciates by $$3,300$$ per year for the first six years. Write a function $$V(x)$$ for the value after $$x$$ years and find $$V(2). $$What does $$V(2)$$ represent?

Accepted Answer

$$V(x) = 22,500 - 3,300x$$; $$V(2) = 15,900$$; The value of the car after $$2$$ years is $$15,900.$$

Question 8

Find the equation of the line passing through $$(6, 3)$$ with slope $$-2 in $$standard form.

Accepted Answer

$$2x + y = 15$$

Question 9

Determine whether the relation $$\{(4, 2), (5, 2), (4, 1)\}$$ defines a function.

Accepted Answer

No

Question 10

Find the average rate of change per year in the number of high school dropouts from $$1975$$ ($$5217$$ thousand) to $$2003$$ ($$3121$$ thousand).

Accepted Answer

$$-74.9$$ thousand per year; the number of dropouts decreased by an average of $$74.9$$ thousand each year from $$1975 to$$ $$2003$$

Question 11

Rewrite the equation $$3x + y - 4 = 0 in $$slope-intercept form and state the slope and y-intercept.

Accepted Answer

$$y = -3x + 4$$; slope $$-3$$, y-intercept $$4$$

Question 12

Given the function $$f(x) = \frac{5x^2$ - 1}{x^2$}$$, evaluate $$f(5).$$

Accepted Answer

$$\frac{124}{25}$$

Question 13

Find the slope of the line passing through $$(-7, 9)$$ and $$(5, 9)$$ and describe the line.

Accepted Answer

Slope $$0$$; the line is horizontal.

Question 14

Find the slope of the line passing through $$(-5, -1)$$ and $$(-5, 8)$$ and describe the line.

Accepted Answer

Slope undefined; the line is vertical.
