Name: Mount Olive High School Summer Assignment for Precalculus CP Students who may wish to complete this packet: Anyone entering: Precalculus CP in September 2017 Directions: Skills Review It is necessary that you retain the skills you have learned in your previous math courses in order to be successful in precalculus. These skills are going to be built upon and not retaught in precalculus. Without these skills you will not be able to solve problems in precalculus. It will be assumed that you have these skills and they will not be retaught by your teacher. The answers to these skills test review problems are given in the back of this packet so you can check your work and make sure you understand the concepts. If you find that you have forgotten how to solve certain problems, you may need to go back through your notes and refresh your memory. We look forward to seeing you in September. Have a great summer!

Skills Review Answers: 1. A function is a relation between two variables such that for every input there is only output. 2. Examples may vary. The graph must pass the vertical line test to be a function. 3. C, because when the input is 3 there is more than one output. 4. 48 5. 2 6. 0 7. 4 8. 71 ; 36x 2 90x 54 9. y = 200x + 300 10. The slope is 200. The slope is the cost in dollars for one credit at CCM. The y-intercept is 300. This represents a fixed cost you must pay regardless of how many credits you take, usually known as student fees. 11. 2x 2 + 10x 12. A. about 32 ; B. about $4.25 ; C. [ 0, 23 ] ; D. [ 0, 86 ] ; E. 40 ; F. 41 which is how many fewer people will buy the product if you raise the price from $4 to $16. 13. A. In the year 2000 the wolf population is 1700 ; B. When the wolf population is 800, the year is 1960. 14. B 3 x + 6.5 5 x < 3 2 7x 18 3 x < 2 5x + 6 2 x < 0 15. A. [ 5, 5 ] ; B. [ 4, 6 ] ; C. y = 5x + 6 0 x < 2 7x 18 2 x < 3 { 3 x + 6.5 3 x 5 2 16. A. 5 seconds after the ball is thrown the height of the ball is 4 feet ; B. k seconds after the ball is thrown the height of the ball is 16 feet ; C. m seconds after the ball is thrown the height of the ball is 80 feet ; D. When the height of the ball is 30 feet the time is four seconds after the ball was thrown. ; E. [ 0, 6 ] ; F. [ 0, 200 ] 17. A. Yes. For every input (the TV program) there is only one output (the number of seasons) ; B. No. For every input (the number of seasons) there could be more than one output (the TV program). 18. m = 3.2 2.7 = 0.025 calories / pound so y = 0.025x + 0.2 where y is calories and x is 120 100 pounds ; a 150 lb. person would burn 3.95 calories. 19. B 20. A 21. x2 4 3 22. x 5 23. x = 2 3 and 3 ; x = 4 3 24. [ 5, ) 25. A. (3) = $7.00, the amount you would pay to take a cab 3 miles. B. f 1 (x) = x 2.95 f 1 (8.35) = 4 which means if the cost was $8.35 then you traveled 4 miles. 26. The number of gallons you would need to paint a 750 square foot house. 27. 2 1.35 ;
28. B 29. A. yes, a function. The domain is (, ) and the range is ( 0, ). B. f(4) is about 3.5. This means that after 4 months there is about $350 in the account.
