CHAPTER 1 FUNCTIONSAND MODELS
(c) To belong to both families, an equation must have slope = 2, so the equation in part (b), = + (1 − 2),
becomes = 2 − 3. It is the only function that belongs to both families.
8. All members of the family of linear functions () = 1 + ( + 3) have
graphs that are lines passing through the point (−31).
9. All members of the family of linear functions () = − have graphs
that are lines with slope −1. The intercept is .
10. We graph () = 3 − 2 for = −2, 0, 1, and 3. For 6= 0,
() = 3 − 2 = 2 (−) has two intercepts, 0 and . The curve has
one decreasing portion that begins or ends at the origin and increases in
length as || increases; the decreasing portion is in quadrant II for 0 and
in quadrant IV for 0.
11. Because is a quadratic function, we know it is of the form () = 2 + + . The intercept is 18, so (0) = 18 ⇒
= 18 and () = 2 + + 18. Since the points (30) and (42) lie on the graph of , we have
(3) = 0 ⇒ 9 + 3 + 18 = 0 ⇒ 3 + = −6 (1)
(4) = 2 ⇒ 16 + 4 + 18 = 2 ⇒ 4 + = −4 (2)
This is a system of two equations in the unknowns and , and subtracting (1) from (2) gives = 2. From (1),
3(2) + = −6 ⇒ = −12, so a formula for is () = 2 2 − 12 + 18.
12. is a quadratic function so () = 2 + + . The yintercept is 1, so (0) = 1 ⇒ = 1 and () = 2 + + 1.
Since the points (−22) and (1−25) lie on the graph of , we have
(−2) = 2 ⇒ 4 − 2 + 1 = 2 ⇒ 4 − 2 = 1 (1)
(1) = −25 ⇒ + + 1 = −25 ⇒ + = −35 (2)
Then (1) +2 · (2) gives us 6 = −6 ⇒ = −1 and from (2), we have −1 + = −35 ⇒ = −25, so a formula for
is () = − 2 − 25 + 1.

13. Since (−1) = (0) = (2) = 0, has zeros of −1, 0, and 2, so an equation for is () = [ − (−1)]( − 0)( − 2),
or () = ( + 1)( − 2). Because (1) = 6, we’ll substitute 1 for and 6 for ().
6 = (1)(2)(−1) ⇒ −2 = 6 ⇒ = −3, so an equation for is () = −3( + 1)( − 2).
14. (a) For = 002 + 850, the slope is 002, which means that the average surface temperature of the world is increasing at
a rate of 002
◦ C per year. The intercept is 850, which represents the average surface temperature in ◦ C in the
year 1900.
(b) = 2100 − 1900 = 200 ⇒ = 002(200)+ 850 = 1250
◦ C
15. (a) = 200, so = 00417( + 1) = 00417(200)( + 1) = 834 + 834. The slope is 834, which represents the
change in mg of the dosage for a child for each change of 1 year in age.
(b) For a newborn, = 0, so = 834 mg.
16. (a) (b) The slope of −4 means that for each increase of 1 dollar for a
rental space, the number of spaces rented decreases by 4. The
intercept of 200 is the number of spaces that would be occupied
