The millage rate is the amount of property tax per $1000 of the taxable value of a home. For a certain county the millage rate is 24 mil ($24 in tax per $1000 of taxable value of the home). A city within the county also imposes a flat fee of $108 per home. a. Write a function representing the total amount of property tax T ( x ) ( in $ ) for a home with a taxable value of x thousand dollars. b. Write an equation for T − 1 ( x ) . c. What does the inverse function represent in the context of this problem? d. Evaluate T − 1 ( 2988 ) and interpret its meaning in context.

A rectangular box is to have a square base and a volume of 30 ft3. The material for the base costs 34¢/ft2, the material for the sides costs 10¢/ft2, and the material for the top costs 25¢/ft2. Letting x denote the length of one side of the base, find a function in the variable x giving the cost (in dollars) of constructing the box.
A rectangular box is shown. The base of the box has length and width each labeled x. The height of the box is labeled y.
