Equations and Inequations

Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.

Linear Functions

A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.

A bucket is used to fill a large cylindrical vat with water. After pouring buckets of water into the vat, the height of water in the vat was 3 feet. After pouring 16 buckets of water, the height was 6 feet. Let y represent the height of water in the vat (in feet) and x represent the number of buckets poured into the vat. Write a linear equation to estimate the height of the water based on the number of buckets poured in. Express numbers as decimals or integers. The linear equation in slope-intercept form is ____
use the Y axis to represent distance and the X axis to represent time. Four race cars are heading for the finish line. Car 11 is in the lead and has 1.2 miles to go. But he has engine trouble and is only traveling at a speed of 130 mph. How long before car 11 crosses the finish line (where distance remaining = 0). Car 32 is in second and is .1 miles behind Car 11 (he has 1.3 miles to go). He is traveling at a speed of 140 mph. Add that line to your graph. Car 53 is in third and is .3 miles behind the leader (1.5 miles to go). He is traveling at a speed of 165 mph. Car 94 is in last place, and is .5 miles behind the leader (1.8 miles to go).
