(a) Solve f(x) = 0.
(b) Solve g(x) = 0.
(c) Solve f(x) = g(x).

7) Suppose that f(x) = -x - 1 and g(x) = x - 19. 7)


(a) Solve f(x) > 0.
(b) Solve g(x) > 0.
(c) Solve f(x) g(x).

8) A truck rental company rents a moving truck one day by charging $35 plus $0.09 per mile. 8)
Write a linear equation that relates the cost C, in dollars, of renting the truck to the number
x of miles driven. What is the cost of renting the truck if the truck is driven 220 miles?

9) A lumber yard has fixed costs of $1810.90 per day and variable costs of $0.49 per 9)
board-foot produced. Lumber sells for $1.79 per board-foot. How many board-feet must
be produced and sold daily to break even?

10) Suppose that the quantity supplied S and quantity demanded D of baseball caps at a major 10)
league game are given by the functions S(p) = 3610 - 70p and D(p) = 120p, where p is the
price. Find the equilibrium price for caps at the game. Then find the equilibrium quantity.

11) Marty's Tee Shirt & Jacket Company is to produce a new line of jackets with a embroidery 11)
of a Great Pyrenees dog on the front. There are fixed costs of $620 to set up for production,
and variable costs of $44 per jacket. Write an equation that can be used to determine the
total cost, C(x), encountered by Marty's Company in producing x jackets, and use the
equation to find the total cost of producing 110 jackets.
