The quantity q varies inversely with the square of m and directly with the product of r and x. When m is 4 and the product of r and x is 8, q is 2.5. What is the constant of variation?

How is the graph of transformed to produce the graph of ?

What is the maximum value of P = 24x + 30y, given the constraints on x and y listed below?

The graph below represents c, the amount a phone company charges, based on m, the number of minutes the customer uses each month. If there are a maximum of 44,640 minutes in a month, which equation best represents the phone company’s monthly charges?

Two boats depart from a port located at (–10, 0) in a coordinate system measured in kilometers, and they travel in a positive x-direction. The first boat follows a path that can be modeled by a quadratic function with a vertex at (0, 5), and the second boat follows a path that can be modeled by a linear function and passes through the point (10, 4). At what point, besides the common starting location of the port, do the paths of the two boats cross?

The height of a toy rocket that is shot in the air with an upward velocity of 48 feet per second can be modeled by the function , where t is the time in seconds since the rocket was shot and f(t) is the rocket’s height in feet. What is the maximum height the rocket reaches?

A function is graphed on a coordinate grid. As the domain values approach infinity, the range values approach infinity. As the domain values approach negative infinity, the range values approach infinity. To which family of functions might the described function belong?

A company plans to sell pens for $2 each. The company’s financial planner estimates that the cost, y, of manufacturing the pens is a quadratic function with a y-intercept of 120 and a vertex of (250, 370). What is the minimum number of pens the company must sell to make a profit?

When p = 12, t = 2, and s = , r = 18. If r varies directly with p and inversely with the product of s and t, what is the constant of variation?

A small organic food store makes two types of fruit smoothies: tropical and sport. Each tropical smoothie uses 9 oz of orange juice and 6 oz of milk. Each sport smoothie uses 3 oz of orange juice and 3 oz of milk. The store buys the orange juice in a 210-oz container and milk in a 150-oz container. The store sells the tropical smoothies for $4 and sells the sport smoothie for $3. What is the maximum in smoothie sales the store can make from 1 container each of orange juice and milk?

Based on the family the graph below belongs to, which equation could represent the graph?

A store uses the expression –2p + 50 to model the number of backpacks it sells per day, where the price, p, can be anywhere from $9 to $15. Which price gives the store the maximum amount of revenue, and what is the maximum revenue? (Revenue = price number of backpacks.)

A factory produces 1,250,000 toys each year. The number of toys is expected to increase by about 150% per year. Which model can be used to find the number of toys, n (in millions), being produced in t years?

The constraints of a problem are listed below. What are the vertices of the feasible region?

The potential energy of an object varies jointly with the mass of the object and the height of the object off the ground. A 25-kg object has 980 joules of potential energy when it is 4 meters off the ground. Another object has 150 joules of potential energy at 3 meters off the ground. What is the mass of the second object? Round to two decimal places.

The kinetic energy, K, of an object varies jointly with its mass, m, and the square of its velocity, v. The mass of an object stays the same, but the velocity of the object is halved. How is the kinetic energy of the object affected?

A deli is offering two specials. The roast beef special gives a profit of $2.30 per sandwich, and the turkey special gives a profit of $3.10 per sandwich. The roast beef special uses two slices of bread and three slices of cheese. The turkey special uses two slices of bread and four slices of cheese. The deli has 120 slices of bread and 160 slices of cheese available for the specials. The deli wants to maximize its profit selling specials. Let x represent the number of roast beef specials and y represent the number of turkey specials. What are the constraints for the problem?

An air show is scheduled for an airport located on a coordinate system measured in miles. The air traffic controllers have closed the airspace, modeled by a quadratic equation, to non-air show traffic. The boundary of the closed airspace starts at the vertex at (10, 6) and passes through the point (12, 7). A commuter jet has filed a flight plan that takes it along a linear path from (–18, 14) to (16, –13). Which system of equations can be used to determine whether the commuter jet’s flight path intersects the closed airspace?

A rectangular parking lot has a perimeter of 820 ft. The area of the parking lot measures 42,000 ft2. What is a dimension of the parking lot?

The graph of is transformed as shown in the graph below. Which equation represents the transformed function?
