Problem 15
Find the variation constant and the corresponding equation for each situation. Let \(y\) vary inversely as \(x,\) and \(y=5\) when \(x=2\)
Problem 28
Find the point of intersection for each pair of lines algebraically. $$y=-\frac{2}{5} x+3 ; y=\frac{5}{2} x+4$$
Problem 31
In this set of exercises you will use linear functions and variation to study real-world problems. If \(0^{\circ}\) Celsius corresponds to \(32^{\circ}\) Fahrenheit and \(100^{\circ}\) Celsius corresponds to \(212^{\circ}\) Fahrenheit, find a linear function that converts a Celsius temperature to a Fahrenheit temperature.
Problem 32
Evaluate \(g(-x), g(2 x),\) and \(g(a+h)\). $$g(x)=x^{2}+6 x-1$$
Problem 35
Determine whether a function is being described. The length of a side of a square is the input variable and the perimeter of the square is the output variable.
Problem 36
In this set of exercises you will use linear functions and variation to study real-world problems. Demand It is known that 10,000 units of a computer chip are demanded at \(\$ 50\) per chip. How many units are demanded at \(\$ 60\) per chip if price varies inversely as the number of chips?
Problem 39
In this set of exercises you will use linear functions and variation to study real-world problems. A 10 -foot U-Haul truck for in-town use rents for \(\$ 19.95\) per day plus \(\$ 0.99\) per mile. You are planning to rent the truck for just one day. (Source:www.uhaul.com) (a) Write the total cost of rental as a linear function of the number of miles driven. (b) Give the slope and \(y\) -intercept of the graph of this function and explain their significance. (c) How much will it cost to rent the truck if you drive a total of 56 miles?
Problem 40
