Modeling with Functions
In this course you have learned the characteristics of different types of functions and have practiced solving application problems involving modeling with these functions. For each scenario below, decide what type of function would best model the situation. Explain why you chose that type of function. Show your work in writing the function to model the situation. Be sure to state what the independent variable represents. Then use your model to answer the questions for that scenario.
Susan decides to take a job as a transcriptionist so that she can work part-time from home. To get started, she has to buy a computer, headphones, and some special software. The equipment and software together cost her $1000. The company pays her $0.004 per word, and Susan can type 90 words per minute.
What type of function would be best to model this scenario? Choose one of the following: linear, quadratic, polynomial of degree 3 or higher, rational, exponential, or logarithmic. Explain why you chose this answer.
Write a formula for the function you chose to model this scenario. What does the independent variable in your function represent?
How many hours must Susan work to break even, that is, to make enough to cover her $1000 start-up cost? Show how you found the answer.
If Susan works 4 hours a day, 3 days a week, how much will she earn in a month? Show how you found the answer.

Consider Cardano's problem of finding two numbers whose sum is 10 and whose product is 40.
a) Cardano knew beforehand that no such (real) numbers existed. How did he know? Can you prove it?
b) Solve the system of equations x+y=10 and xy=40 to find Cardano's complex solution.
c) Check that this solution does work-that is, thatb the sum of your complex numbers is 10 and that their product is 40.

189. An altitude of a triangle is a segment that joins one of the three vertices to a point on the line that contains the opposite side, the intersection being perpendicular. For example, consider the triangle whose vertices are A = (0, 0), B = (8, 0), and C = (4, 12). (a) Find the length of the altitude from C to side AB. What is the area of ABC? (b) Find an equation for the line that contains the altitude from A to side BC. (c) Find an equation for the line BC. (d) Find coordinates for the point F where the altitude from A meets side BC. It is customary to call F the foot of the altitude from A. (e) Find the length of the altitude from A to side BC. (f) As a check on your work, calculate BC and multiply it by your answer to part (e). You should be able to predict the result. (g) It is possible to deduce the length of the altitude from B to side AC from what you have already calculated. Show how.

For the following, give constructions using a straightedge and a compass with memory. You must prove that your construction works.
We say that a positive real number a is constructible if whenever we are given a line segment of length c , we can construct a line segment of length ac . Suppose that a and b are constructible real numbers. Show that ab is also constructible.
