Worksheet 5/4/2019

Worksheet #1 Sharon needs to move tomorrow for her new job. She rents a U-Haul truck to move her belongings. It costs $30 to rent the truck she needs, plus $0.50 per mile to rent the truck she needs. Let P(m) be the price of renting the truck and driving it for m miles.

Worksheet #1a, #1b A] Write the symbolic representation of P(m) P(m) = 0.5m + 30 B] Sharon has budgeted $200 for the truck rental. How many miles can she drive on her budget? To find the answer, solve for m such that P(m) ≤ 200. Represent your answer in Set Notation { m : m ≤ 340 }

Worksheet #1c { m : m < 140 } C] Sharon wanted to save money, so she went online to find alternative truck rental companies. She found that Freddy’s garage can rent her a truck for a flat rate of $100. So, she wants to compare under what conditions it will be cheaper for her to rent from U-Haul versus Freddy’s garage. Solve for m, such that P(m) < 100 to find the answer. Represent your answer in set notation. { m : m < 140 }

Worksheet #1d D] Sharon computers the distance she will need to drive during the move. She determines that she will drive 120 miles. Should she rent from U-Haul or from Freddy’s garage? Explain your answer. U-Haul is cheaper because if she travels 120 miles, it will only cost her $90. However, if she rented from Freddy’s, it would be $100, no matter how many miles she drives. If she were to drive over 140 miles, then Freddy’s would be the better deal.

Worksheet #2 When mobile (cell) phones became popular around the year 2000, people had to purchase a text message plan. Back then, a company offered 2 text messaging plans that customers could choose: Plan A charges a monthly fee of $5.00 plus $0.10 per text Plan b charges a monthly fee of $10.00 plus $0.05 per text

Worksheet #2a A] Let A(t) be the cost of Plan A if t texts are used. Write the symbolic representation of A(t). A(t) = 0.1t + 5 B] Let B(t) be the cost of Plan B if t texts are used. Write the symbolic representation of B(t). B(t) = 0.05t + 10

Worksheet #2c C] In the context of the given situation, explain what the inequality A(t) < B(t) is really asking. It is asking, how many text messages can be sent so that Plan A is cheaper than Plan B?

Worksheet #2d D] Set up and solve the inequality A(t) < B(t) using the functions you created in 2a and 2b. t < 100 E] Explain what your solution above (2d) means in context of the given situation t < 10 means that Plan A will be cheaper than Plan b if you send less than 10 text messages in a month

Worksheet 2f F] If a customer estimated they would send about 200 texts per month, which plan (A or B) should they choose? Explain why you decided that plan would be best. Plan A would be the better deal because it is cheaper by $5.

Worksheet 2g G] Kyla’s parents said they would pay, at most, $20 per month for her texting plan. If her parents selected Plan A, how many texts can she send without going past the $20 limit? Set up and solve an inequality using the function you created for Plan A. As long as Kyla sends under 150 texts, she will be within her parents budget of $20
