A.
C=14+n ; continuous
B.
C=14n ; discrete
C.
C=14+n ; discrete
D.
C=14n ; continuous
Correct Answer
B. C=14n ; discrete
Explanation The function rule for the situation is C=14n, where C represents the cost of n DVDs. This means that the cost of the DVDs is directly proportional to the number of DVDs purchased. The graph of this function would be discrete because the number of DVDs purchased can only be a whole number, resulting in discrete points on the graph.

A tomato plant in Steve's gardeb was 11 centimeters tall when it was first planted. Since then, it has grown approximately 0.7 centimeters per day.
Write a rule to describe the function.
After how many days will the tomato plant be 18.7 centimeters tall?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Correct Answer
C.
Explanation The rule to describe the function is that the tomato plant grows approximately 0.7 centimeters per day. To find out after how many days the tomato plant will be 18.7 centimeters tall, we can subtract the initial height of 11 centimeters from the target height of 18.7 centimeters. Then, we divide this difference by the growth rate of 0.7 centimeters per day. This gives us the number of days it will take for the tomato plant to reach 18.7 centimeters tall, which is approximately 12 days.

The function j(x)=27x represents the number of jumping jacks j(x) you can do in x minutes. How many jumping jacks can you do in 15 minutes?
A.
142
B.
405
C.
1
D.
212
Correct Answer
B. 405
Explanation The given function states that the number of jumping jacks you can do in x minutes is equal to 27 times x. To find out how many jumping jacks can be done in 15 minutes, we substitute x with 15 in the function. Therefore, j(15) = 27 * 15 = 405. So, the correct answer is 405.

You have 8 cups of flour. It takes 1 cup to make 24 cookies. The function c(f)=24f represents the number of cookies, c, that can be made with f cups of flour. What domain and range are reasonable for the function? What is the graph of the function?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Correct Answer
D.
Explanation The domain of the function represents the possible input values, which in this case is the number of cups of flour. Since we have 8 cups of flour, a reasonable domain would be any non-negative number less than or equal to 8. Therefore, the domain is [0, 8].
The range of the function represents the possible output values, which in this case is the number of cookies. Since it takes 1 cup of flour to make 24 cookies, a reasonable range would be any non-negative multiple of 24. Therefore, the range is [0, infinity).
The graph of the function would be a straight line with a positive slope, passing through the origin (0,0) and extending indefinitely in the positive y-direction.

Subtract 1 from the previous term: 16, 32
D.
Multiply the previous term by -2: -16, 32
Correct Answer
B. Multiply the previous term by 2: 16, 32
Explanation The pattern in the given sequence is that each term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by 2. Therefore, to find the next two terms, we multiply the previous term (8) by 2. This gives us 16 as the next term, and multiplying 16 by 2 gives us 32 as the term after that.

Suppose your buisness has a special checking account used just for paying the phone bill. The balance is $740.00 this month. Next month the balance will be $707.60, after that it will be $675.20, and on the third month the balance will be $642.80. Write a rule to represent the balance in the account as an arithmetic sequence. How many months can you pay your phone bill without depositing any more money in the account?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Correct Answer
B.
Explanation The rule to represent the balance in the account as an arithmetic sequence is: each month, the balance decreases by $32.40. To find out how many months you can pay your phone bill without depositing any more money, you need to divide the initial balance of $740.00 by the decrease amount of $32.40. This gives you approximately 22.84 months. Since you cannot have a fraction of a month, you can pay your phone bill for 22 months without depositing any more money.

An employee recieves a weekly salary of $280 and 3% commission on all sales.
The function rule f(d) that gives weekly earnings in terms of d dollars in sales is:
f(d)=280+0.03d
a) Find the emplyee's earnings for a week with $600 total sales.
b) What are the employee's total sales for a week which her earnings were $670.
A.
A) $298 b)$13000
B.
A) $298 b) $300.10
C.
A) $10666.67 b) $13000
D.
A) $10666.67 b) $300.01
Correct Answer
A. A) $298 b)$13000
Explanation For part a), to find the employee's earnings for a week with $600 total sales, we can substitute d = 600 into the function rule f(d) = 280 + 0.03d. So, f(600) = 280 + 0.03(600) = $298.
For part b), to find the employee's total sales for a week when her earnings were $670, we need to solve the equation 670 = 280 + 0.03d for d. Subtracting 280 from both sides gives 390 = 0.03d. Dividing both sides by 0.03 gives d = 13000.
Therefore, the employee's earnings for a week with $600 total sales is $298, and her total sales for a week when her earnings were $670 is $13000.

Is the relation a function?
A.
Yes, it is a function
B.
No, it is not a function
Correct Answer
B. No, it is not a function
Explanation The given answer states that the relation is not a function. This means that there exists at least one element in the domain that is associated with more than one element in the range. In a function, each element in the domain should be associated with only one element in the range. Therefore, if the given relation violates this condition, it is not a function.

Is the relation a function? (Use the vertical line test)
A.
Yes, it is a function
B.
No, it is not a function
Correct Answer
B. No, it is not a function
Explanation The relation is not a function because it fails the vertical line test. This means that there exists at least one vertical line that intersects the graph of the relation at more than one point. In a function, each input (x-value) should correspond to only one output (y-value), but in this case, there are multiple y-values for at least one x-value, violating the definition of a function.
