2. A student won $500 in an art contest. At first, the student kept the money in a desk. After 10 months, the
student deposited the money in a savings account that earned interest. Six months after depositing the
money (t = 6), the amount in the account is $508.67. Twelve months after depositing the money
(t = 12), the amount in the account is $517.50.
The amount of money the student has can be modeled by the piecewise function M given by
{ab ( t/12 ) for t ≥ 0

500 for − 10 ≤ t < 0
M( t ) = ,
where M( t ) is the amount, in dollars, at time t months since the $500 was deposited into the savings
account. A negative value for t represents the number of months before the student deposited the $500
into the savings account.
(A) (i) Use the given data to write two equations that can be used to find the values for constants a and
b in the expression for M( t ) .
(ii) Find the values for a and b as decimal approximations.
(B) (i) Use the given data to find the average rate of change of the amount of money the student
has, in dollars per month, from t = − 2 to t = 12 months. Express your answer as a decimal
approximation. Show the computations that lead to your answer.
(ii) Use M( 12 ) and the average rate of change found in (i) to estimate the amount of money, in
dollars, the student has when t = 20 months. Show the work that leads to your answer.
(iii) Let A( t ) be the estimate of the amount of money, in dollars, the student has at time t months
using the average rate of change found in (i). In (ii), A( 20 ) was computed. If A( t ) is used
to estimate values for M( t ) for t > 12, the error in the estimates will increase as t increases.
Explain why this is true.
(C) The student plans to close the account when the amount of money in the account reaches $565.
Explain how this information can be used to determine the domain limitations for the model M.

3. The figure shows a robotic arm rotating in a circular counterclockwise direction that completes one
rotation every 2 seconds. Point S is on the tip of the arm, and point X does not move. As the arm rotates
at a constant speed, the height of S above X periodically increases and decreases. At time t = 0 seconds,
S is at its lowest position, 6 inches directly below X. At its highest position, S is 20 inches directly
above X.
The sinusoidal function h models the height of S above X, in inches, as a function of time t, in seconds.
A positive value of h( t ) indicates S is above X; a negative value of h( t ) indicates S is below X.
(A) The graph of h and its dashed midline for two full cycles is shown. Five points, F, G, J, K, and P, are
labeled on the graph. No scale is indicated, and no axes are presented.
Determine possible coordinates ( t, h( t )) for the five points: F, G, J, K, and P.
