68 Chapter 1 LINEAR FUNCTIONS The slope 1032.6 indicates that tuition and fees have increased approximately $1033 per year. (c) The year 202 is too far in the future to rely on this equation to predict costs; too many other factors may influence these costs by then. 1.2 Linear Functions and Applications 1. /(2) = 7 - (2) = 7-10 = -3 2. /(4) = 7- (4) = 7-20 = -13 3. /(-3) = 7 - (-3) = 7 + 1 = 22 4. /(-I) = 7 - (-l) = 7 + = 12. ^(1.) = 2(1.)-3 = 3-3 = 0 6. g(2.) = (2.) -3 = -3 = 2 ^(-y-'h)-3 1-3 4 (-!)-'(-)- i- i 9. f(t) = 7- (0 = 7-* 10. g(k2) = 2{k2) - 3 = 2A:2-3 11. This statement is true. When we solve y = f(x) = 0, we are finding the value of x when y = 0, which is the x-intercept. When we evaluate /(0), we are finding the value of y when x = 0, which is the y-intercept. 12. This statement is false. The graph of f(x) = is a horizontal line. 13. This statement is true. Only a vertical line has an undefined slope, but a vertical line is not the graph of a function. There fore, the slope of a linear function cannot be de fined. 14. This statement is true. For any value of a, /(0) = a 0 = 0, so the point (0,0), which is the origin, lies on the line. 1. The fixed cost is constant for a particular prod uct and does not change as more items are made. The marginal cost is the rate of change of cost at a specific level of production and is equal to the slope of the cost function at that specific value; it approximates the cost of producing one additional item. 19. $10is the fixed cost and $2.2 is the cost per hour. Let x = number of hours; R(x) = cost of renting a snowboard for Thus, x hours. R(x) = fixed cost + (cost per hour) (number of hours) R(x) = 10 + (2.2)(ar) = 2.2x + 10 20. $10 is the fixed cost and $0.99 is the cost per down loaded song the marginal cost. Let x = the number of downloaded songs and C(x) = cost of downloading x songs Then, C{x) = (marginal cost) (number of downloaded songs) -f fixed cost C(x) = 0.99.T + 10. 21. 0^ is the fixed cost and 3^ is the cost per halfhour. Let x = the number of half-hours; C(x) = the cost of parking a car for Thus, x half-hours. C(x) = 0 + 3.T = 3.T -I- 0. 22. $44 is the fixed cost and $0.28 is the cost per mile. Let x = the number of miles; R(x) = the cost of renting for x Thus, miles. R(x) = fixed cost 4- (cost per mile) (number of miles) R(x) = 44 + 0.28.r.
Section 1.2 Linear Functions and Applications 69 23. Fixed cost, $100; 0 items cost $1600 to produce. Let C{x) = cost of producing x items. C(x) = mx + b, where b is the fixed Now, cost. C(x) = mx + 100 C{x) = 1600 when x = 0, so 1600 = m(0) + 100 100 = 0m 30 = m. Thus, C(x) = 30x + 100. 24. Fixed cost: $3; 8 items cost $39. Let C{x) = cost of x items C(x) = mx + 6, where b is the fixed cost C(x) = mx + 3 27. D{q) = 16-1.2g (a) D(0) = 16-1.2(0) = 16-0 = 16 When 0 watches are demanded, the price is $16. (b) D{A) = 16-1.2(4) = 16- = 11 When 400 watches are demanded, the price is $11. (c) D(8) = 16-1.2(8) = 16-10 = 6 When 800 watches are demanded, the price is $6. (d) Let D(q) = 8.

Thus, C(x) = 4.x- + 3. 2. Marginal cost: $7; 0 items cost $4300. C{x) = 7x + b Now, C{x) = 4300 when x = 0. 4300 = 7(0) + b 4300 = 370 + b 0 = 6? = 4.8 When the price is $10, 480 watches are demanded. (f) Let D(q) = 12. Find q. 12 = 16-1.2?? = 3.2 When the price is $12, 320 watches are demanded. (g) 16-k p- 16-1.2? Thus, C{x) = 7rr + 0. 26. Marginal cost, $120; 700 items cost $96,00 to pro duce. C{x) = 120.x- + b Now, C{x) = 96,00 when x = 700. 96,00 = 120(700) + b 96,00 = 84,000 + b 12,00 = 6 Thus, C{x) = 120aH-12,00. (h) S(q) = 0.7? 1 I I I I M n 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 q Let S(q) = 0.
