Unit 1

A train ticket costs $100, In addition to a charge of 25 cents per kilometer traveled. While a
plane ticket costs $150, Plus a charge of 20 cents per kilometer.

A) Write a function representing cost of a trip, as a function of distance, for both the train
and the plane.
B) Determine the distances it is cheaper to take the train and the distances it is cheaper to
take the plane.

A)
Let, d = distance traveled

Train
t(d) = 100 + 0.25(d)

Plane
p(d) = 150 + 0.20(d)

B)
Find the distance when the price is equal.
100 + 0.25(d) = 150 + 0.20(d)
0.25(d) − 0.20(d) = 150 − 100
0.05(d) = 50
d = 1000
At a distance of 1000 kilometers traveled the price for each option is equal. Because the train
increases more with each kilometer, for distances over 1000 kilometers the plane is cheaper.
While it is cheaper to take the train if the distance of the trip is under 1000 kilometers.

Unit 2
A new social media platform has 1000 members, after four days the creator notices that there
are now 5000 members. Assume that the growth of the website will be exponential

A) Write an equation modeling the growth of the platform and find the daily growth rate.
B) Use your equation to predict the membership the next day. (day 5 of the platform)
A)
A = A0 (1 + i)n
5000 = 1000(1 + i)4
5000
1000 = (1 + i)4
√4 5 = 1 + i
1.4953 = 1 + i
1.4953 − 1 = i
0.4953 = i

Final equation
A = 1000(1 + 0.4953)n

B)
A = 1000(1 + 0.4953)n
A = 1000(1 + 0.4953)5
A = 1000(7.4755)
A = 7475.5

On the fifth day of the social media platforms existence its membership will be 7476 people.

Unit 3
A person on a ferris wheel does 5 revolution in 3 minutes.
A) Determine the persons angular velocity.
B) Determine the number of revolutions they will complete if they are on the ride for ten
minutes
C) If another ferris wheel has the same angular velocity but a radius much greater than that
of the the original ferris wheel. How does the persons linear velocity compare to the
linear velocity of the person on the original ferris wheel

n= 3
n= 16 32
n = 16.66666
The ferris wheel does 16.66666 revolutions in 10 minutes

C)
If the person was riding a larger ferris wheel with the same angular velocity they would have a
greater linear velocity on the larger ferris wheel

Unit 4
A city's power usage varies throughout a day. During peak times, which occur at 6 am and 6pm,
power usage reaches 50 kwh. During minimum power usage, at noon and midnight, only 15
kwh are used.

A) Draw a graph over a one day period, starting from midnight, that models the city's power
usage.
B) Write an equation that models the city's power usage. Assume that power usage is
modeled by a sinusoidal function.

C) What does the “C” value of the equation represent

The c value represents the average power usage throughout the day, as this is the median
value between maximum and minimum values.

Unit 5
A person wants to build a rectangular backyard pool. The builder only build pools that have
widths three metres less than the length and depths two metres less than the width.

A) Write an equation that models the volume of possible pool sizes

B) The area that this person lives in has water usage limits, so the volume of the pool is
limited to 350 cubic metres. What is the maximum length that the pool can be.
C) The person wants to be able to dive into their pool and will only build the pool if it can be
4 metres deep. Will the pool be built or will the person have to find a different builder.

A)
Let v = volume, l = length, w = width, d = depth
v = (l)(w)(d)
v = (l)(l − 3)(l − 5)
v = (l3 − 5l2 − 3l2 + 15l)
v = (l3 − 82 + 15l)

B)
v = (l3 − 82 + 15l)
350 = l3 − 82 + 15l
0 = l3 − 82 + 15l − 350
f (l) = l3 − 82 + 15l − 350
Find possible factors of 350
+/-(1,2,5,7,10…)
f (10) = 0
This means that for a length of 10 metres the pool will have a volume of 3503 metres

C)
v = (l)(l − 3)(l − 5)
In the equation it can be seen that the factor (l-5) is the factor for depth.
d=l−5
d = 10 − 5
d=5
The person will build the pool with this builder as the depth is over 4 metres

Unit 6

A person's blood sugar level can be modeled by the equation s(t) = 2t , where is is the
person's blood sugar given in millimoles per decalitre. s=mmol/dl.

A) What is a person's blood sugar 3 hours after eating.

B) How long after eating will a person's blood sugar be 103 mmol/dl
C) What is the lowest a person's blood sugar can normally go after a meal

A)
200t+30
s(t) = 2t

s(3) = 2(3)
s(3) = 600+30

s(3) = 105
The person's blood sugar will be 105 mmol/dl three hours after eating

B)

6t = 30
t=5

Five hours after the person eats their blood sugar reaches the level of 103 mmol/dl

C)

First find the horizontal asymptote.

Because the degrees of the numerator and denominator are the same division of the leading
coefficients is used to determine the horizontal asymptote.

200
y= 2
y = 100

The horizontal asymptote is at 100 mmol/dl

End behaviour must be done to determine if the asymptote is approached from below or above.

x y

100 100.15

1000 100.015

The end behavior shows that 100 mmol/dl is in fact the lowest possible blood sugar for this
person, after a meal.
