Unit 4 Test REVIEW #1

1. A room is designed so that the length of the room is fourteen less than twice the width in feet.
The ratio of the length to the width is 3:5. What is the area of the room?

2. The ratio of males to females in a spider colony is about 7:9. There are 150 fewer males than
females. How many female spiders are in the colony?

3. Jims team can complete a basement excavation in 4.5 hours. Giselles team can complete
the excavation in 6 hours. How much time will it take to complete the excavation if both teams
work together?

4. Daniels Floors can wax the school floors in 4 hours. When Daniel adds Tomas to his team,
the floors get done in 3.5 hours. How long would it take Tomas to do the floors alone?

5 The time required to solve a certain problem on a computer is inversely proportional to the
computers CPU speed. A computer with a CPU speed of 4.7 GHz can solve the problem in 1.5
hours. What CPU speed would be necessary to solve the problem in 1 hour?

6. Solve the following equations:

5 8 7
a. =
2x 3x 8

x 2x 18
b. + =
x3 x+ 3 x 29
 x+1 2 x
c. + =
x1 x x +1

7. Write an equation for a rational function that has a horizontal asymptote of y = 3 and a
vertical asymptote of x = 5.

8. Write an equation for a rational function that has a horizontal asymptote of y = 0, x-

intercepts at x = 2 and x = 4, and a vertical asymptote at x = 1.
