III. SOLVING EQUATIONS
Def 1: An equation in one variable is a statement in which
two expressions, at least one containing the variable, are set
equal.
Def 2: Unless otherwise restricted, the admissible values of
the variable are those in the domain of the variable. These
admissible values of the variable, if any, that result in a true
statement are called solutions, or roots, of the equation.

Example 1.6: A total of $18,000 is invested, some in stocks
and some in bonds. If the amount invested in bonds is half
that invested in stocks, how much is invested in each
category?

Suppose that Juanita borrows $500 for 6 months at the
simple interest rate of 9% per annum. What is the interest
that Juanita will be charged on the loan? How much does
Juanita owe after 6 months?
Example 1.13: Computing Business Expense
Therese, an outside salesperson, uses her car for both
business and pleasure. Last year, she traveled 30,000
miles, using 900 gallons of gasoline. Her car gets 40 miles
per gallon on the highway and 25 miles in the city. She can
deduct all highway travel, but no city travel, on her taxes.

Example 9: Profit-and-loss analysis. Boxowitz, Inc., a computer
firm, is planning to sell a new graphing calculator. For the first
year, the fixed costs for setting up the new production line are
$100,000. The variable costs for producing each calculator are
estimated at $20. The sales department projects that 150,000
calculators can be sold during the first year at a price of $45 each.
a) Find and graph ( ), the total cost of producing calculators.
b) Using the same axes as in part (a), find and graph , the
total revenue from the sale of calculators.
c) Using the same axes as in part (a), find and graph ,

d) What profit or loss will the firm realize if the expected
sale of 150,000 calculators occurs?
e) How many calculators must the firm sell in order to break
even?
Example 10: Profit-and-loss analysis. Jimmy decides to
mow lawns to earn money. The initial cost of his
lawnmower is $250. Gasoline and maintenance costs are
$4 per lawn.
a) Formulate a function ( ) for the total cost of mowing
lawns.
b) Jimmy determines that the total-profit function for the
lawnmowing business is given by = 9 − 250. Find a
function for the total revenue from mowing lawns. How
much does Jimmy charge per lawn?
c) How many lawns must Jimmy mow before he begins
making a profit?

Find the equilibrium point for each pair of demand and

supply functions.

250 + 5
 Nonlinear Functions and Models

Example 13: Demand: = −4 ; Supply: = +

2 + 6 (assume ≤ 4).
Example 14: Stock prices and prime rate. It is theorized
that the price per share of a stock is inversely proportional
to the prime (interest) rate. In January 2010, the price per
share of Apple Inc. stock was $205.93 and the prime rate
was 3.25%. The prime rate rose to 4.75% in March 2010.
(Source: finance.yahoo.com and Federal Reserve Board.)
What was the price per share in March 2010 if the
assumption of inverse proportionality is correct?
Example 15: Demand. The quantity sold of a
plasma television is inversely proportional to the
price . If 85,000 plasma TVs sold for $2900 each,
how many will be sold if the price is $850 each?

13.3 Geometric Sequences; Geometric Series

* Section 13.4: Mathematical Induction

 13.1 Sequences
Definition 1: A sequence is a function whose domain is
the set of positive integers.
A sequence is usually represented by listing its values in
order. For example, the sequence whose graph is given in
right figure might be represented as

1 , 2 , 3 , … or 1, , , …
The list never ends, as the ellipsis indicates. The numbers
in this ordered list are called the terms of the sequence.
When a formula for the nth term (sometimes called the
general term) of a sequence is known, the entire
sequence can be represented by placing braces around the
formula for the term.

For example, the sequence whose ℎ term is =

may be represented as =

or , , ,…, = ,…

What is an annuity?
An annuity is a contract between you and an insurance
company in which you make a lump-sum payment or
series of payments and, in return, receive regular
disbursements, beginning either immediately or at
some point in the future.
 EXTENSION: ANNUITIES
Two types of annuities:
1. Ordinary annuities: An ordinary annuity is a series of
equal payments made at the end of consecutive periods over
a fixed length of time. While the payments in an ordinary
annuity can be made as frequently as every week, in practice
they are generally made monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or
annually.
2. Annuity due: An annuity due is an annuity whose payment
is due immediately at the beginning of each period. A common
example of an annuity due payment is rent, as landlords often
require payment upon the start of a new month as opposed to
collecting it after the renter has enjoyed the benefits of the
apartment for an entire month.

calculators can be sold during the first year at a price of $45 each.
a) Find and graph ( ), the total cost of producing calculators.
b) Using the same axes as in part (a), find and graph , the
total revenue from the sale of calculators.
c) Using the same axes as in part (a), find and graph ,
the total profit from the production and sale of calculators.
d) What profit or loss will the firm realize if the expected
sale of 150,000 calculators occurs?
e) How many calculators must the firm sell in order to break
even?

R.4 SLOPE AND LINEAR FUNCTIONS

Exercise 68: Straight-line depreciation. Quick Copy buys an
office machine for $5200 on January 1 of a given year. The
machine is expected to last for 8 yr, at the end of which time its
salvage value will be $1100. If the company figures the decline in
value to be the same each year, then the book value, ( ), after
years, 0 ≤ ≤ 8, is given by

−
= −

where is the original cost of the item, is the number of years

of expected life, and is the salvage value.
a) Find the linear function for the straight-line depreciation
of the office machine.
b) Find the book value after 0 yr, 1 yr, 2 yr, 3 yr, 4 yr, 7 yr,
and 8 yr.
Exercise 69: Profit-and-loss analysis. Jimmy decides to
mow lawns to earn money. The initial cost of his
lawnmower is $250. Gasoline and maintenance costs are
$4 per lawn.
a) Formulate a function ( ) for the total cost of mowing
lawns.
b) Jimmy determines that the total-profit function for the
lawnmowing business is given by = 9 − 250. Find a
function for the total revenue from mowing lawns. How
much does Jimmy charge per lawn?
c) How many lawns must Jimmy mow before he begins
making a profit?
Exercise 72: Book value. Tyline Electric uses the function
= −700 + 3500 to find the book value, ( ), in
dollars, of a photocopier years after its purchase.

a) What do the numbers −700 and 3500 signify?

b) How long will it take the copier to depreciate completely?
c) What is the domain of ? Explain.
R5. Nonlinear Functions and Models

Find the equilibrium point for each pair of demand and

supply functions.
Exercise 87: Demand: = 1000 − 10 ; Supply: =
250 + 5
R5. Nonlinear Functions and Models

Exercise 92: Demand: = −4 ; Supply: = +

2 + 6 (assume ≤ 4).
Exercise 95: Stock prices and prime rate. It is theorized
that the price per share of a stock is inversely proportional
to the prime (interest) rate. In January 2010, the price per
share of Apple Inc. stock was $205.93 and the prime rate
was 3.25%. The prime rate rose to 4.75% in March 2010.
(Source: finance.yahoo.com and Federal Reserve Board.)
What was the price per share in March 2010 if the
assumption of inverse proportionality is correct?
Exercise 96: Demand. The quantity sold of a
plasma television is inversely proportional to the
price . If 85,000 plasma TVs sold for $2900 each,
how many will be sold if the price is $850 each?
