using a table of values, by using the
equation of the relation, and by interpo-
lating or extrapolating from the graph
- Determine other representations of a lin-

(eg. Given a numeric model, determine a
graphical model and an algebraic model;
given a graph, determine some points on

3 Word Problems (10)
Ask students if they want to go through the prob-
lems together to understand and then they individ-
ually solve, or if they want to go in groups and
work on them.
1. C = $3,000
I = 6%
Greater income, people don’t have to
sell their body, can afford condoms,
pay for HIV test, better education
2. 1 male, 3 female
Women more vulnerable for physio-
logical reasons, and biologically due
to greater surface area of vagina. So-
cial/Cultural young women married to
older man who may have been ex-
posed to HIV

3. Y=X/14
I=T/14
1 day (86,400s)
I = 6,172
In 1 year = 365 X 6,172 = 2,252,572
