Jim has a new job and earns a salary of $46,000. Valorie has a new job and earns a salary of $59,000. Jim will receive a salary increase of $2,700 per year and Valorie will receive a salary increase of $1,500 per year. Based on this information, which TWO statements are
correct?
A)
It will take 10 years for Jim to earn the same salary as Valorie.
B)
It will take 12 years for Jim to earn the same salary as Valorie.
D)
When solved for x, 46,000x + 2,700 = 58,000x + 1,500 gives the number of
years it will take Jim to earn the same salary as Valorie.
When solved for x, 46,000 + 2,700x = 58,000 + 1,500x gives the number of
years it will take Jim to earn the same salary as Valorie.
When solved for x, 46,000x + 2,700x = 58,000x + 1,500x gives the number
of years it will take Jim to earn the same salary as Valorie.
E)

The number of calories you burn depends on your weight. a 110-pound person burns 163 calories during 30 minutes of tennis. find the number of calories that a 190-pound person would burn during the same activity, assuming they burn calories at the same rate.

The biologist has a second culture to examine. she knows that the population of the culture doubles every 15 minutes. after 1 hour and 15 minutes, her assistant found that 80,000 bacteria were present. a) what was the size of the initial population? b) predict the size of the culture at t=3 hours. what was the size of the population at 40 minutes? explain and justify your answers. c) create a graph of the population as a function of time. find an equation that can be used to predict the size of the population at any time t. d) examine the rate at which the bacteria culture is growing. how fast is the culture growing after 1 hour? after 1.5 hours? after 2 hours? use a time interval of h = 0.01 hours to estimate these rates. interpret these rates in terms of the context of the problem situation. how do these three rates compare?
