Then find f (0), f (3), and f (-2) and write the corresponding ordered pairs. (See Objective 5.) 87. 2x - 7y = 21 88. y = u4x + 1u Solve each problem. (See Objective 5.) 89. Rikki has a new job as a math instructor at a local community college. Her starting salary is $43,200 with a regular annual teaching load of 30 credit hours. If she teaches beyond the regular load, she earns $1020 per credit hour. a. Write a linear function f (x) that represents Rikki’s yearly income, where x is the number of extra credit hours Rikki teaches. b. If Rikki teaches two 3-credit-hour courses in addition to her regular load, what is her income? c. Find f (9) and interpret the answer. 90. Wong purchases a new car for $16,400. The car’s value decreases by $1325 each year. a. Write a linear function that represents the value of the car, where x is the age of the car in years. b. What is the car’s value after 3 yr? c. Find f (5) and interpret the answer. CHAPTER 3 TEST / LINEAR EQUATIONS IN TWO VARIABLES 1. The point (2, -4) is a solution of the equation a. y = 2x + 8 b. x = -4 c. 2x - y = 8 d. y = ux - 6u 2. If a > 0 and b < 0, then the point (a, b) lies in a. Quadrant I b. Quadrant II c. Quadrant III d. Quadrant IV Graph each equation by creating a table of solutions. 3. y = x2 + 1 4. y = ux + 2u 5. Is the point (-1, 1) a solution of the equation shown in the graph? 2 2 4 4 –2 –4 –2 –4 x y 6.
