2. At 7:00 AM it began to snow at two different ski resorts. Resort A already had 21 inches of base
snow and was getting 2 inches of snow per hour.
a. Write an equation to represent the amount of snow, y(t), at resort A after t hours after 7:00
AM.

b. Resort B has no base snow at 7:00 AM but is getting 5 inches of snow per hour. The
equation, B(t)=5t, represents the amount of snow at resort B after t hours. Give the y-
intercept of each and its meaning.

c. Determine the number of hours before both resorts will have the same amount of snow.
3. The table below shows the height of a tree after t months

a. Give the equation that will model the height of the tree h(t), in feet, after t months (2
decimal places)

b. Use the equation to approximate how many months it will take the tree to reach the height
of 50 feet.

c. Fill in the blanks in the equation to show the tree being 66 ft after 40 months.

h()=¿ ¿

d. What is the domain of the situation if the tree will be cut down after 70 months?

4. Which ordered pairs satisfy the equation? y +3 x=88 Select all that apply.

A) (10, 25)

B) (24, 16)

C) (10, 38)

D) (6, 70)

E) (22, 22)

5. The formula for finding distance traveled D, at a rate of r and a time of t is given below. Rearrange
the formula to show how the time can be found if you know the distance and rate.
D=rt
6. The ordered pairs (x, y) that represents the cost of a gym membership, y, with respect to
the number of months, x are (7, $32.00), (8, $45.50), (9, $59.00).
a. Write a linear function that models the situation.

b. What is the rate of change (slope) of the linear function? What does it mean in the
context of this situation?

c. What is the y-intercept of the linear function? What does it not make sense in the
context of this situation?

7. The table below shows 3 functions.

b. The line of best fit of A(t)=7t+22 and for C(t)=15t+6. Find a value t such that
A(t)=C(t).

c. Why do the three functions have different slopes even though the first few values
are the same?
8. A school selling tickets charges $4 for students and $10 for adults. The school needs to
bring in at least $900 to cover expenses but can only accommodate 150 people to enter.
Let x be the number of students and y be the number of adults.

a. What inequalities below represent the constraints in this situation. Select all that
apply.

A) x + y ≤ 150 D) 4 x+10 y ≥150

B) x + y ≥ 150 E) 4 x+10 y ≤ 900
C) 4 x+10 y ≤150 F) 4 x+10 y ≥ 900
