1. A liquid starts at an initial temperature of 175 C and cools down in a room held at a constant temperature of 16 C. It's temperature can be modeled, as a function of time cooling, by the equation y=a(b) +c. Which of the following statements is true? (1) a=159 andc=16 (3) a=175adc=16 (2) a=16 andc=159 (4) a=16 and c=175

1. When you swim underwater, the pressure in your ears depends on the depth at which you are swimming. The formula p=0.43d relates the water pressure p, in pounds per square feet, to a depth of d feet. We can use this linear function to determine the pressure in your ears at a different depths. (a) If your depth is doubled, how did the pressure change? (b) Fill in the blank: i. If the depth is increasing, the pressure is ii. If the depth is decreasing, the pressure is

10. The number of male alates in an ant colony has been found to be approximately a linear function of the age of the colony, with a 5-year-old colony having 8.2 alates on average, and a 17-year-old colony having an average of 33.4 alates. Write the number of male alates ( y ) as a linear function of the age of the colony in years (t).
