Question 2

Refer to the graph of percent of students in the College of Engineering. What is the value of $$f(1995)$$?

Accepted Answer

$$f(1995) = 18\%$$

Question 3

If $$f(x) = 12\% in $$the graph of percent of students in the College of Engineering, what year does $$x$$ represent?

Accepted Answer

$$x = 1980$$

Question 4

Given the function $$f(x) = \frac{2x-3}{x+6}$$, what is $$f(-1)$$?

Accepted Answer

$$f(-1) = \frac{-5}{5}$$

Question 5

Find and simplify the difference quotient for $$f(x) = 7x - 4.$$

Accepted Answer

$$\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h} = 7$$

Question 6

Write the equation of the line passing through $$(3,5)$$ and $$(-5,6) in $$point-slope form.

Accepted Answer

$$y - 5 = -\frac{1}{8}(x - 3)$$

Question 7

A car's value depreciates from $$14,760 in 1991 to 4$$,440 in 1994$$. Let y$ be the value in year x$, where x=0$ is 1991. What is the linear equation modeling the value?

Accepted Answer

$$y = -4,106.67x + 14,760$$

Question 8

Find the average rate of change of $$f(x) = x^2$ from x = 2$ to x = 8$.

Accepted Answer

$$12$$

Question 9

Accepted Answer

$$x = 4$$, $$x = -1.5$$

Question 14

For the function $$f(x) = \frac{24,000 + 280x}{x}$$, how many units must be produced for the average cost per unit to be $$440$$?

Accepted Answer

$$60$$ units

Question 15

A city grows at $$0.8\%$$ annually. If there were $$3,980,000$$ residents in $$1995$$, how many are there in $$2000$$? Use $$y = 3,980,000(2.7$$)^{0.008t}$$, where t$ is years since 1995$.
