Problem 4

A small bus charges $3.50 per person for a ride from the train station to a concert. The bus will run if at least 3 people take it, and it cannot fit more than 10 people. Function B gives the amount of money that the bus operator earns when n people ride the bus. a. Identify all numbers that make sense as inputs and outputs for this function.

b. Sketch a graph of B.

Problem 5

The graph of function f passes through the coordinate points (0,3) and (4,6). Use function notation to write the information each point gives us about function f.

Problem 8

The graphs show the audience, in millions, of two TV shows as a function of the episode number. For each show, pick two episode numbers between which the function has a negative average rate of change, if possible. Estimate the average rate of change, or explain why it is not possible.
