8. Donnie and Tania are math tutors. The amount Donnie charges for a session
h hours long is represented by the function D​(h)​ = 40h + 10. Tania charges a flat
fee of $30 plus $15 an hour. Write a function, T​(h)​, that represents the amount
in dollars that Tania charges for h hours of tutoring. Graph both functions on the
same coordinate grid, and label each line. Compare the slopes and y-intercepts
of the graphs.

Performance Tasks
9. A bicycle computer or cyclometer uses a magnetic counter that records
each wheel rotation to calculate the bike’s total distance traveled. To set up
the computer, you select a calibration constant for the bike’s wheel size. The
computer multiplies this constant times the number of tire rotations to find
the total distance in miles. Write a function for the distance d in miles if the
calibration number is 0.00125. If the function is incorrect and your tire is actually
slightly smaller, how should the function change?

 10. A marina rents party boats for large social gatherings. They charge the following
amounts for a 2-hour rental.

Number of People 10 20 35 50

Cost $165 $192.50 $233.75 $275

A. Write an equation that represents the data. Include a definition of your

variables.
B. What are the intercepts of the graph of your equation? What is the slope?
What do they mean in this context?
C. Use your equation to predict the cost of providing a party boat for 75 people.
D. The marina actually charges $460 for 75 people. What might be a reason for
the difference?

11. High demand cars that are also in low supply tend to retain their value better
than other cars. The data in the table are for a car that won a resale value award.

Value (%) 84 64 44

A. Write a function to represent the car’s value over time, assuming that the

car’s value is linear for the first 5 years.

B. According to your model, how much did the car’s value drop the day it was
purchased and driven off the lot?
C. Do you think the linear model would still be useful after 10 years? Explain.
D. Suppose you used months instead of years to write a function. How would
your model change?

Wildlife Field Researcher Alexa is a wildlife field researcher who is studying the
American black bear. American black bears are the most common bears in the United
States. They can be found in 11 of the 21 counties in New Jersey. Most wild male black bears
weigh between 125 and 600 pounds, while females generally weigh between 90 and 300
pounds. Their weight depends upon their age, the season of the year and how much food is
available.
a. Write inequalities to show the range of weights for male and female black bears.
b. Black bears hibernate for about 5 months in the winter. They must store 50 to 60
pounds of fat to survive hibernation. During the month before hibernation, a black bear
may consume up to 20,000 Calories per day. If a
bear consumes an average of 18,500 Calories per
day in the month of August, about how many total 450 (20, 400)
calories will he consume that month? 400

hibernates for 155 days, how many times will its heart beat?
