55) The table gives the approximate monthly average temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit in a certain city. In
this table x represents the month with x = 0 corresponding to July.
Month 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
Temperature 81 74 62 49 42 34
If(°F) 29 table correspond to an even function f with domain {x|-6 ≤ x ≤ 6}, what is the average
the numbers in the
temperature in March?
A) 52°F
B) 42°F
C) 37°F
D) 32°F
Answer: B
56) The approximate monthly average temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit in a certain city can be
approximated by the function
f(x) = -0.005x6 + 0.31x4 - 6.14x2 + 79
with domain {x|-6 ≤ x ≤ 6}. Here x represents the month with x = 0 corresponding to July. What is the
average temperature (rounded to the nearest degree) in January?
A) 41°F
B) 26°F
C) 36°F
D) 31°F
Answer: B
f(x) = -0.005x6 + 0.31x4 - 6.14x2 + 76
with domain {x|-6 ≤ x ≤ 6}. Here x represents the month with x = 0 corresponding to July. What other
month has the same average temperature as March?
A) September
B) October
C) November
D) December
Answer: C
f(x) = -0.005x6 + 0.31x4 - 6.14x2 + 77
with domain {x|-6 ≤ x ≤ 6}. Here x represents the month with x = 0 corresponding to July. In most cities
average temperatures decrease from July to December. What month violates this trend in this particular
city?
A) August
B) September
C) October
D) November

A) The turning point is at approximately (35, 0). This is the point at which the rock reaches the surface of
the
moon again.
B) The turning point is at approximately (17.5, 245). This is the point at which the rock reaches its
maximum
velocity and starts to slow down.
C) The turning point is at approximately (35, 245). This is the point at which the rock reaches its
maximum
height and starts to fall back towards the surface of the moon.
D) The turning point is at approximately (17.5, 245). This is the point at which the rock reaches its
maximum
height and starts to fall back towards the surface of the
moon. Answer: D

A) The first turning point is at approximately (6, 48). This is where the person's distance from the starting
point stops increasing and starts to decrease. The second turning point is at approximately (10, 44).
This is
where the person's distance from the starting point stops decreasing and starts to increase again.
B) The first turning point is at approximately (7, 48). This is where the person's speed first stops
increasing and starts to decrease. The second turning point is at approximately (11, 44). This is
where the person's speed stops decreasing and starts to increase again.
C) The first turning point is at approximately (5, 48). This is where the person's distance from the starting
point stops increasing and starts to decrease. The second turning point is at approximately (9, 44).
This is where the person's distance from the starting point stops decreasing and starts to increase
again.

D) The first turning point is at approximately (6, 48). This is where the person's speed first stops
increasing and starts to decrease. The second turning point is at approximately (10, 44). This is
where the person's
speed stops decreasing and starts to increase
again. Answer: D

454) The table shows the population of a certain city in various years. The population of the city f(x), in
hundreds of thousands, can be modeled by f(x) = axb, where x represents the number of years since 1980.
Estimate the population of the city in the year 2000. (You will first need to use regression to estimate the
values of a and b).
