Equations and Inequations

Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.

Linear Functions

A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.

Angelina already had $1500 saved before she started. She isn't working while she's in school, so she can only save $250 a year each year she is in college. Ray didn't have any money saved before he started, but he has a part-time job. He figures that he can save about $750 a year each year that he is in college. Let x represent the number of years the two students are in college. Assume that this is the same number of years for both. Let y represent the total amount of savings in dollars after x years. What is the equation that represents Angelina’s savings for college? What is the equation that represents Ray’s savings for college? When will Angelina and Ray have the same amount saved for college? Explain how you know. After the first two years, who has the most saved? Explain how you know.
Julio went on his first airplane ride. The plane was flying 600 kilometers per hour relative to the surrounding air. The wind was moving surrounding air backwards relative to the ground below 30 kilometers per hour. Julio was walking forward to the front of the air plane at 2 kilometers per hour. Julio wondered how fast he was moving relative to the ground below.A.S=600+30-2B.S=600+30-2C.S=600-30-2D.S=600-30+2

use the Y axis to represent distance and the X axis to represent time. Four race cars are heading for the finish line. Car 11 is in the lead and has 1.2 miles to go. But he has engine trouble and is only traveling at a speed of 130 mph. How long before car 11 crosses the finish line (where distance remaining = 0). Car 32 is in second and is .1 miles behind Car 11 (he has 1.3 miles to go). He is traveling at a speed of 140 mph. Add that line to your graph. Car 53 is in third and is .3 miles behind the leader (1.5 miles to go). He is traveling at a speed of 165 mph. Car 94 is in last place, and is .5 miles behind the leader (1.8 miles to go). He is gaining fast, at a speed of 185 mph. Remember, the x axis is time, and the y axis is distance to go.

Akira is running around a circular track. Akira runs counterclockwise. From where he starts, it takes him 22 seconds to reach the easternmost point of the track. It takes him 95 seconds to run one complete lap.Bob starts running at the same time as Akira. Bob starts from the northernmost point and runs clockwise. Bob and Akira pass each other for the first time after 26 seconds. How long does Bob take to run one lap of the track? The answer to this question should be the amount of time in seconds rounded to four decimal places that it takes for Bob to run a complete lap around the circular track.
