A. c=15n+8.99c = 15n + 8.99
B. c=8.99n+15c = 8.99n + 15
C. c=15(n+8.99)c = 15(n + 8.99)
D. c=8.99(n+15)c = 8.99(n + 15)

At the intersection of the left transversal with line qq, the angle between the transversal going down to DD and line qq going right is labeled 110°110°. At the intersection of the right transversal with line qq, the angle between the transversal going down to FF and line qq going left is labeled 105°105°.

What is the measure, in degrees, of BAC\angle BAC?

Show your work.

Answer:

35 degrees

Solution:

Since pqp \parallel q, co-interior angles are supplementary.

At BB: the angle between the transversal and line pp (interior side) is 180°110°=70°180° - 110° = 70°, so ABC=70°\angle ABC = 70°.

At CC: the angle between the transversal and line pp (interior side) is 180°105°=75°180° - 105° = 75°, so BCA=75°\angle BCA = 75°.

In triangle ABC: BAC=180°70°75°=35°\angle BAC = 180° - 70° - 75° = 35°

The equation y=1.5x+29y = 1.5x + 29 is used to model the yearly salary, yy, of an employee, in thousands of dollars, where xx is the number of years the employee has worked for the company. What does the slope of the line represent in this situation?

Explain your answer.

Answer:

The slope of 1.5 represents the increase in yearly salary, in thousands of dollars, for each additional year the employee works for the company.

Solution:

In the equation y=1.5x+29y = 1.5x + 29, the slope is 1.51.5. Since yy represents the yearly salary in thousands of dollars and xx represents the number of years worked, the slope of 1.51.5 means the employee's yearly salary increases by $1,500$1{,}500 (or 1.51.5 thousand dollars) for each additional year worked.

  • 72\frac{7}{2}

Answer:

Rational: 49\sqrt{49}, 1.31.\overline{3}, 72\frac{7}{2}, 1.2341.234
Irrational: 32\sqrt{32}

Solution:

49=7\sqrt{49} = 7, which is an integer, so it is rational.

1.3=1.333...1.\overline{3} = 1.333... is a repeating decimal, which can be written as the fraction 43\frac{4}{3}, so it is rational.

32=42\sqrt{32} = 4\sqrt{2}. Since 3232 is not a perfect square, 32\sqrt{32} is irrational.

72\frac{7}{2} is already written as a fraction of two integers, so it is rational.

1.2341.234 is a terminating decimal, which can be written as 12341000\frac{1234}{1000}, so it is rational.

Store A and Store B sell fabric for different prices. The equation y=3.5xy = 3.5x represents the price, yy, in dollars, for xx yards of fabric at Store A. The graph below represents the price for the same type of fabric at Store B.

STORE B

Image Description: A graph with the xx-axis labeled "Fabric Length (yards)" ranging from 00 to 1010 and the yy-axis labeled "Total Price (dollars)" ranging from 00 to 3030. A straight line passes through the origin and through the labeled points (2,5.5)(2, 5.5) and (6,16.5)(6, 16.5).

What is the unit rate for the price of fabric, per yard, at each store?

Store A $$ _____ per yard of fabric

Store B $$ _____ per yard of fabric

Answer:

Store A: $3.50 per yard
Store B: $2.75 per yard

Solution:

Store A: The equation y=3.5xy = 3.5x shows the unit rate is the coefficient of xx, which is $3.50$3.50 per yard.

Store B: Using the points (2,5.5)(2, 5.5) and (6,16.5)(6, 16.5) from the graph:

Unit rate =16.55.562=114=2.75= \frac{16.5 - 5.5}{6 - 2} = \frac{11}{4} = 2.75

Store B charges $2.75$2.75 per yard.
