Use linear and exponential functions to model real-world situations

Standards basis

Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSS-M) / PARCC Model Content Frameworks — national

How the PARCC reports it

PARCC was a multistate assessment system built around the Common Core-era PARCC mathematics model content frameworks rather than a separate proprietary standards set. Its math structure is organized by grade/course and aligned to CCSS-M content categories and model content frameworks.

Which is the completely factored form of $9x^{2} - 6x$ ?

The greatest common factor of $9x^{2}$ and $6x$ is $3x\textsf{.}$ Factoring gives $3x(3x - 2)$ .

Which expression is equivalent to $4x^{2} - 81$ ?

$4x^{2} - 81 = (2x)^{2} - 9^{2} = (2x - 9)(2x + 9)$ .

Which expression is equivalent to $\dfrac{50x}{h} + 50x$ , where $h > 0$ ?

Write $50x$ with denominator $h$ : $\dfrac{50x}{h} + \dfrac{50xh}{h} = \dfrac{50x + 50xh}{h} = \dfrac{50x(h + 1)}{h}$ .

A warehouse begins a clearance week with $640$ boxes. Each week, half of the boxes still in the warehouse are shipped out. Which equation gives the number of boxes, $b$ , still in the warehouse after $w$ weeks?

The warehouse starts with $640$ boxes, and each week the remaining amount is multiplied by $\dfrac{1}{2}$ . After $w$ weeks, $b = 640\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^w$ .

The function $I$ is defined by $I(t) = 275(1.04)^t$ . The function $I$ models the balance, in thousands of dollars, of an investment account, where $t$ is the number of months after the account was opened. According to the model, what is the estimated balance, in thousands of dollars, of the account $1$ month after it was opened?

When $t = 1$ , $I(1) = 275(1.04)^1 = 275 \cdot 1.04 = 286$ thousand dollars.

You invest $\text{\char36}400$ at $25\%$ annual interest for $1$ year. What is the total?

$400 \times 1.25 = 500$ .

$x^3 - 27 = 0$ . What is the real root?

$x^3 - 27 = (x - 3)(x^2 + 3x + 9) = 0$ . The quadratic factor has no real roots, so the only real root is $x = 3$ .

Practice playeasy

Factor: $12x^{2} + 8x$ .

The greatest common factor of $12x^{2}$ and $8x$ is $4x$ . So $12x^{2} + 8x = 4x(3x + 2)$ .
