In March , Peoples Energy had the following rate schedule for natural gas usage in single- family residences:
Monthly service charge-
Per therm service charge
therms-
Over therms-
Gas charge-
(a) What is the charge for using therms in a month?
(b) What is the charge for using therms in a month?
(c) Develop a model that relates the monthly charge for therms of gas.
(d) Graph the function found in part (c)
A wire of length xis bent into the shape of a square.
Part (a): Express the perimeter pof the square as a function of x.
Part (b): Express the area Aof the square as a function of x.
Suppose that the x-intercepts of the graph of areand .
(a) What are the x-intercepts of the graph of ?
(b) What are the x-intercepts of the graph of ?
(c) What are thex-intercepts of the graph of ?

B. Identity function
C. Square function
D. Cube function
E. Square root function
F. Reciprocal function
G. Absolute value function
H. Cube root function
Consider the equation
Is this a function? What is its domain? What is its range? What is its y-intercept, if any? What are its x-intercepts, if any? Is it even, odd, or neither? How would you describe its graph?
