14 Function Model Construction and Application Day 2


1. The time taken for a water heater to boil water is inversely proportional to the power
used in watts. It takes 2000 watts to boil water in 240 seconds. Find the time it takes
when using 900 watts.

2. The data is inversely proportional. Find the value of a.

3. Price is inversely proportional to time squared. If on day 2 the price is $4, what is the
price on day 4?

4. The cost for making cookies is inversely proportional to the square root of the number of
cookies made. If it costs $2 to make 9 cookies, how much would it cost to make 25
cookies?

5. A rental car costs $20 to rent plus 7 cents every mile driven for the first 100 miles. Miles
driven over 100 only cost 4 cents.

a) Find c (128).

b) How many miles did a customer drive that spent 24 dollars on their rental car?
measuring its skid marks. Function 𝑆 is used to model the speed the car was traveling in
6. Police use a formula to estimate the speed a car was traveling before an accident by

mph where 𝑑 is the distance the car skidded in feet and 𝑓 is the coefficient of friction
which depends on the road surface and road conditions.
S ( d )= √30 df
a) A country road has a coefficient of friction of 0.9 when it is dry and 0.4 when it is
wet. What values of distance skidded would you expect in both conditions for a
car that was travelling 110 mph when the brakes were applied?

b) Analyze the rate of change from a measured 70-foot skid mark to a 160-foot skid
mark on the dry country road.

c) The distance of a skid mark is inversely proportional to the product of 30 and the
coefficient of friction. Using the 60-foot skid mark on a dry country road, find the
constant of proportionality. Explain what it means in this context.
7. The table below shows the average price of a movie ticket during certain years.

A linear regression is used to construct a function model 𝑃 that models the price over the given

of the following defines function 𝑃


years. If t=1 corresponds to 2012, t=4 corresponds to 2015, and this pattern continues, which

a) P ( t ) =0.206 x+ 7.541
b) P ( t ) =0.397 x+ 7.524
c) P ( t ) =0.206 x+ 7.747
d) P ( t ) =0.206 x−407.07

and the center of the earth. This relationship is modeled by the function 𝑊,
8. The weight of an object is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between an object

9
2.944 x 10
W ( d )= 2 where for distance, d, measured in feet, and weight where W (d) measured
d
in pounds. What is the average rate of change, in pounds per foot, if the distance between an
object and the center of the earth is increased from 8500 feet to 9500 feet?
a) 2944
b) 8.127
c) -123.047
d) -0.00817

fitness classes attended after the first 10 free fitness classes cost $5 each. Function 𝐶 is used to
9. A membership to World Fitness costs $75 per month and includes 10 free fitness classes. Any

model the cost of a monthly membership to World Fitness where 𝑛 is the number of fitness
classes taken and C (n) is the cost in dollars. Which of the following defines 𝐶?

a)

b)

c)
d) C ( n )=5 n+75
