1. Use the following information to answer the next question The Penny Ice Cap glacier in Auyuittuq National Park on Baffin Island is melting. Scientists have measured the thickness of the ice, 7, in feet periodically starting in the year 2001. The equation T(n) = -2n + 1921 models the thickness of the ice, in feet, n years after 2001. a) Explain what the slope of the line represents in this problem b) Determine the coordinate(s) of the x-intercept(s). Explain what this value means within the context of this problem c) Determine the coordinate of the y-intercept. Explain what this value means within the context of this problem d) Determine an appropriate domain and range be for this circumstance? Justify your decision for both.

In a test drive of a new fuel efficient car, a company tracks the car's mpg (miles per gallon) for 2 gallons of gasoline burned during a test drive. Use the approximating method developed in this section with intervals of 0.25 gallons of gasoline and the "left end" approach to complete the items below. Be sure to indicate the endpoints with open and closed "dots". (Click here for a printable version.)
