Question: The senior class is selling lanyards as a fundraiser. The profit for each lanyard is $0.75. Write and solve an inequality to determine the number of lanyards the class must sell to make a profit of at least $250. Find that minimum number!

Answer: 0.75n >/ 250   n>/ 333  1/3, so they must sell at least 334 lanyards.


Question: Mrs. Hurley wants to run at least 10 miles per week. So far this week, she has run 3.5 miles. Write and solve an inequality to determine how many more miles Mrs. Hurley must run to reach her goal.

Answer: 3.5 + m > 10

M >/ 6.5, so Mrs. Hurley must run at least 6.5 miles sometime this week! Pant pant!

Answer: r > 7 OR r < -2
Better  r < - 2 OR r > 7


Graphs and More Ch. 4

Question: Is this graph a function? How do you know?
Answer: Yes, it is a function. Every x has just one y-value! Note that the vertical line test works, too.


Question: Is this graph a function? How do you know?
... the center-radius equation of the circle whose graph is shown below

Answer: It is NOT a function because several x's have more than one y-value. For instance, (-1, 2.9), (-1, -2.9)  Note that the vertical line test does not work.


Question: Is this graph a function? How do you know?
Jig – zagline of slope of graph shows that the object is moving with ...

Answer: It is a function! Every x has just one y! (The vertical line test works here, too!)


Question: What is the domain and range of this graph?

coordinate graph of a rectangle

Answer: D: { - 5 </ x </ 4}
R: {<-2 </ y </ 4}                               


Question: Can you draw a discrete graph and a continuous graph?

Answer: graph of cubicThis graph of -4/5x+3 has continuous variables — it could go on ...Discrete: points, only
