A clothing store is having a “40% off everything” sale. Ted has a $25 gift card. The function
represents Ted’s cost T (in dollars) for items that cost cdollars. The function
represents the purchase price P (in dollars) for items that originally cost c dollars.
Question 1
1.

Use the information from the problem above to write Ted’s cost T as a function of the purchase cost P.

Question 2
2.

Now, use the function to find Ted’s cost when the original cost of his items is $54.

Question 3
3.

Write a function that applies the gift card first and then the discount?

Question 4
4.

Should he ask for the gift card to be applied before or after a discount? Explain.

A small rock is thrown into a pool from the shore, creating ripples in the water. The ripples form concentric circles. The function r(t) = 14t models the radius (in inches) of the outer ripple t seconds after the rock enters the water. Write a function for the area (in square inches) of the outer ripple as a function of time (in seconds). What is the approximate area of the circle defined by the outer ripple 6 seconds after the rock was dropped?

A small rock is thrown into a pool from the shore, creating ripples in the water. The ripples form concentric circles. The function r(t) = 14t models the radius (in inches) of the outer ripple t seconds after the rock enters the water. Write a function for the area (in square inches) of the outer ripple as a function of time (in seconds). What is the approximate area of the circle defined by the outer ripple 6 seconds after the rock was dropped? Round to the nearest whole square inch.
