Fisherman in the Finger Lakes Region have been recording thedead fish they encounter while fishing in the region. The Department ofEnvironmental Conservation monitors the pollution index for the Finger LakesRegion. The model for the number of fish deaths "y" and "x" is y = 9.607x + 111.958. What is the meaning of the slope? (You can round to what seems reasonable)
For every increase in the pollution by one unit, there are nine or ten more fish deaths during the year.
You are working in an area with an important aquifer thathas been contaminated by a buried tank. You need to know the slope of the watertable so that you can calculate how quickly the contaminants will get to thenearby wells. You measure the depth to water in two wells: Well A has water at649 m elevation. Well B has water at 937 m elevation. The two wells are 0.7 kmapart. What is the slope of the water table?
If y varies directly as x and y = 21 when x = 5, find x wheny = 42.
A direct variation equation has (-2, 4) and (n, -8) assolutions. Find the missing value.
The weight of an object on Earth varies directly as theweight of the same object on the moon. A 300 pound object would weigh 48 poundson the moon. How much would a 65 pound object weigh on the moon?
The distance required to stop a car varies directly as thesquare of its speed. If 250 feet are required to stop a car traveling 60 miles perhour, how many feet are required to stop a car traveling 96 miles per hour?
If y varies directly as x², and y = 8 when x = 2, find ywhen x = 1.
y = kx2
8 = k(22)
8 = 4k
2 = k
Write an equation to represent the function. | |||||
Write an equation for {(5, 2), (0, 12), (1, 10), (-2, 16)}
y = -2x + 12
Which of the following situations can be described by alinear, non-proportional function?
A) The number of rabbits in a population that doubles insize every year.
B) The time it takes for a moving car to travel variousdistances at a constant speed.
C) The daily pay of a salesman who earns $5 for every salehe makes, plus a flat $100 fee every day.
D) The money raised by a person collecting pledges of $5 permile to run in a charity race.
Find the inverse function of y = x² + 1
