WORD PROBLEMS
 Decide if the problem involves addition,
subtraction or multiplication.

 If polynomials are given: add, subtract or


multiply like normal.

 If polynomials are not given: use a formula.


 Area = length times width
 Perimeter = add all sides
WORD PROBLEM #1
From 1991 through 1998, the number of
commercial C and education E Internet websites
can be modeled by the following equations, where
t is the number of years since 1991.

C = 0.321t2 – 1.036t + 0.698


E = 0.099t2 – 0.120t + 0.295

Find a model for the total number of commercial


and education sites.

 T = 0.42t2 – 1.156t + 0.993


WORD PROBLEM #2
From 1890 through 1990, the total number of
people T and the number of men M in the US
labor force can be modeled by the following
equations, where t is the number of years since
1890.

T = 0.0086t2 + 0.087t + 25.375


M = 0.0016t2 + 0.315t + 19.467

Find a model for the number of women in the US


labor force.

 W = 0.007t2 – 0.228t + 5.908


WORD PROBLEM #3

and -6x + 12. What is the perimeter of the
triangle?

 7x + 13

WORD PROBLEM #7
The cost of a video game can be modeled by the
equation C = 3x + 2. The number of games sold
can be modeled by the equation N = 8x – 7. Write
a model for the revenue from the sale of the
games.

 R = 24x2 – 5x – 14
The profit a business makes is found by subtracting the
cost to produce an item C from the amount earned in
sales S. The cost to produce and the sales amount could
be modeled by the following equations, where x is the
number of items produced.
C = 100x2 + 500x – 300
S = 150x2 + 450x + 200
Find an equation that models the profit.
A. 50x2 – 50x + 500
B. –50x2 – 50x + 500
C. 250x2 + 950x + 500
