1.4. The average SAT mathematics scores of incoming students at an eastern liberal arts
college have been declining in recent years. In 2006, the average SAT score was 575; in
2011, it was 545. Assuming the average SAT score varies linearly with time, answer these
questions.
a) Express the average SAT score in term of time measured from 2006.
b) If the trend continues, what will the average SAT score of incoming students be in
2024?
c) When will the average SAT score be 455?

1.13. An open box with a square base is built for $96. The sides of the box will cost $3/ft 2
and the base will cost $8/ft2. Express the volume of the box as a function of the length x of
the edge of the base.
1.14. To determine the height of a building (see Figure), select a point P and find the angle
of elevation to be α. Then move out the distance of x units (on a level plane) to point Q and
find that the angle of elevation is now β. Find the height h of the building, as a function of x,
α and β.
