More than 4,000 years ago, people in ancient Babylonia used math to calculate how much land to use for farming and how much of each crop they harvested. They also
used math to calculate how much tax to charge people.
Today, we use algebraic tools such as writing and solving equations, systems of
equations, inequalities, and systems of inequalities to help us measure and interpret
real-world scenarios. What twenty-first century tasks do these tools help us manage?

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs. match the exponential functions with their horizontal asymptotes and y-intercepts. f(x) = 7x − 4 f(x) = 3x+2 + 4 f(x) = 9x+1 − 4 f(x) = 2x + 4 horizontal asymptote and y-intercept exponential function horizontal asymptote: y = 4 y-intercept: (0, 5) arrowboth horizontal asymptote: y = -4 y-intercept: (0, 5) arrowboth horizontal asymptote: y = -4 y-intercept: (0, -3) arrowboth horizontal asymptote: y = 4 y-intercept: (0, 13) arrowboth
