Average Rate of Change main ideas & questions Average Rate of Change notes & examples Up to this point we have been using rates of change which are mostly constant. Many real-world situations, however, involve rates of the change that are not constant. These situations are often described using and average rate of change over a specified interval.

Systems of Linear Equations main ideas & questions What is a System of Linear Equations? notes & examples A situation in which two or more linear equations are involved is called a system of linear equations when the equations have the same variables. A system of equations can have exactly o n e solution, n o solution, or i n f i n i t e l y m a n y solutions. A solution to a system of equations in two variables is an ordered pair that satisfies b o t h equations in the system. We will solve systems of linear equations in two variables by g r a p h i n g, by s u b s t i t u t i o n, and by e l i m i n a t i o n method. 1) The figure below shows that the size of China s manufacturing sector exceeded that of the United States in this decade. If we find the linear functions that model these graphs, with x representing the number of years past 2000 and y representing the sizes of the manufacturing sector in trillions of 2005 dollars, the point of intersection of the functions will represent the simultaneous solution of the two equations because both equations will be satisfied by the coordinates of the point. 2.5 2 1.5 1 United States China 0.5 Solve by graphing 0 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 When solving a system of linear equations by graphing, graph each equation, then determine its intersection. y = 300x 7200 2) ቊ y = 5800x + 8600 3x 4y = 21 3) ቊ 2x + 5y = 9 Solve algebraically SOLVE BY SUBSTITUTION y = 10 4) ቊ 4x 2y = 6 SOLVE BY ELIMINATION 3x 4y = 10 5) ቊ 4x 2y = 6 6) Suppose the graphs by the previous example on the Chinese and American manufacturing sector can be modeled by the functions y = 0.158x 0.0949 y =.037x + 1.47 Sister Mary Rebekah 14

COST main ideas & questions Cost Fixed Cost notes & examples Variable Cost Marginal Cost Examples 1) For total cost, total revenue, and profit functions that are linear, the rates of change are called marginal cost, marginal revenue, and marginal profit respectively. Suppose that the cost to produce and sell a product is C x 54.36 x = 6790, where x is the number of units produced and sold. This is a linear function, and its graph is a line with slope 54.3. Thus, the rate of change of this cost function is called the ; it s $54.36 per unit produced and sold. This means that the production and sale of each additional unit will cost an additional $54.36. 2) Suppose the monthly cost for the manufacture of golf balls is C(x) = 3450 +.56x, where x is the number of balls produced each month. a) What is the slope of the graph of the total cost function? b) What is the marginal cost (rate of change of the cost function) for the product? c) What is the cost of each individual ball that is produced in a month? Sister Mary Rebekah 17
Revenue & Profit main ideas & questions Revenue Marginal Revenue notes & examples Profit Example Marginal Revenue and Marginal Profit.

Sister Mary Rebekah 18
Revenue & Profit main ideas & questions Breaking Even notes & examples Break-Even. A company is said to break even from the production and sale of a product if the total revenue equals the total cost that is if R(x) = C(x). Because profit, we can also say that the company breaks even if the profit for the product is zero. Examples 1) Suppose a company has its total revenue for a product given by R = 5585x and its total cost is given by C = 61,740 + 440x, where x is the number of thousands of tons of the product that are produced and sold per year. The company is said to break even when the total revenue equals the total cost that is, when R=C. Find the number of thousands of tons of the product that gives the break even and how much revenue and cost are at that level of production. 2) A manufacturer of reading lamps has a total revenue given by R=15.80x and a total cost given by C=8593.20+3.20x, where x is the number of units produced and sold. Find the number of units that gives break-even for this product. 3) A manufacturer of automobile air conditioners has a total revenue given by R=136.50x and a total cost given by C=9661.60 +43.60, where x is the number of units produced and sold. Use a nongraphical method to find the number of units that gives breakeven for this product. Sister Mary Rebekah 19
Toyota Camry & Hybrid Project Due Project The Situation Your family wants to buy a new Toyota Camry and is considering buying the hybrid version if the money saved on gas will be enough to pay the extra cost for the hybrid. The Challenge(s) How many years will it take from saved gas money to pay for the extra cost for a hybrid? Could you ever save enough money on gas (compared to your current car) to pay the entire car payment? Question(s) To Ask Defining assumptions: How many miles will the car be driven each year? What is the car s miles per gallon (mpg)? What does a gallon of gas cost? Exploring the answer: What is being measured on the axis? What do the y-intercepts mean? What is the significance of where the two lines intersect? What does it mean when one line has higher y-values than the other line? Consider This What information will you need to create a system of equations representing the cost of each vehicle? The list of information they will need to know includes: The price of the cars The distance (in miles) the cars are driven The miles per gallon (mpg) each car gets The cost of gas For the price of the cars, I have provided two options. Both options ignore extra fees such as registration and tax. We want to keep it simple, so the image Toyota Camry LE vs. Toyota Camry Hybrid LE MPG (from the Toyota website) has the MSRP (Manufacturer s Suggested Retail Price) listed and you can use that. Toyota Camry vs. Toyota Camry Hybrid MPG Sister Mary Rebekah 20
Toyota Camry Sales Data For systems of equations, the cars prices will be the y-intercepts. What is the y-intercept for the Camry? What is the y-intercept for the Hybrid? Gas Cost Next you will need to find out each car s yearly gas costs. Many assumptions will need to be made here and should be agreed upon as partners: How many miles will the car be driven each year? Use the chart below (from the US Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration) to agree upon a common value. Consider your age and your gender and decide as partners what value you will use for your equation. Then please circle it! What is the car s miles per gallon (mpg)? Miles per gallon with separate values for city and highway driving is above in the image Toyota Camry vs. Toyota Camry Hybrid MPG. You should agree upon a common value by first determining what portion of the time the car will be driven in the city or highway. For example, if it is 50% city and 50% highway, then 29/41 will give an assumed value of 35 mpg 0.5 29 + 0.5 41. If it is 75% city and 25% highway it would be 32 mpg 0.75 29 + 0.25 41. Please test TWO scenarios. You may use these two if you wish or determine other scenarios that might fit better with your driving habits. 21
What does a gallon of gas cost? Does anyone have a receipt from recently purchasing gas? I went Kanku s two weeks ago and filled up my Toyota Camry at $2.299 a gallon. You can use this value, or you may use your recent receipt. For your information: PLEASE ASSUME: Both cars use regular unleaded gas. Both cars have equal maintenance costs (which may not be true) THE END IN MIND In the end you are creating two systems linear equations, four equations total: Driving Senario 1: y camry = (cost per year) x + msp camry y hybrid = (cost per year) x + msp hybrid Driving Senario 2: y camry = (cost per year) x + msp camry y hybrid = (cost per year) x + msp hybrid Then determine the solution to each system and interpret those results in your write-up. 22
