1. As you travel from Tucson to Bisbee (94 miles), you pass through Benson. Benson is 40 miles from
Tucson. You can assume that you travel at a fairly constant speed. Sketch graphs to represent the
functions below. Label the axes and any important features of your graphs.
A. distance from Tucson as a function of time. B. distance from Benson as a function of time
2. The relationship between the tuition, T, and the number of credits, c, at a particular college is given by
⎧100 + 120c 0≤c≤6
T (c ) = ⎨
⎩800 + 120(c − 6) 6 < c ≤ 18
D. What are the practical interpretations of the vertical intercept and the slope?
3. Suppose the rate, R, at which people in a particular town hear a rumor is proportional to the number of
people who have not heard the rumor. Let L be the total population of the town.
