The following table gives the number C = C(t), in millions, of American households with security systems in year t. Find the average rate of change per year during the period from 1980 to 1985. t = Year 1980 1985 1990 C = Millions of households 73 89 94
C(1985) - C(1980) / 1985 - 1980 = 89 - 73 / 5= 3.2% From 1980 to 1985 security systems increased by 3.2%

You pay your secretary $9.25 per hour. A stamped envelope costs $1.39 cents, and paper costs 8 cents per page. How much does it cost to prepare and mail a 6-page letter if your secretary spends 1.75 hours on typing and corrections?
$9.25 x 1.75 = $16.19 6 x .08 = .48 cents for paper $16.19 + .48 + $1.39 = $18.06 is the cost to prepare and mail a 6 page letter.

A ball is tossed upward from a tall building, and its upward velocity V, in feet per second, is a function of the time t, in seconds, since the ball was thrown. The formula is V = 40 − 32t, if we ignore air resistance. The function V is positive when the ball is rising and negative when the ball is falling. Find the velocity 38 seconds after the ball is thrown. Is the ball rising or falling then?
V = -1176 because the velocity is negaitve, it is falling.

You sell math tutoring lessons for $45.00 per lesson. You have invested $520.00 in your initial costs. Write an equation that gives the profit P = P (n) as a function of the number of lessons you sell. Then calculate P(57).
P = P (l) P = profit l = lessons sold P ( 57) = $45.00 x 57 - $520.00 = $2045.00

You sell rebuilt computers for $105.00 per computer. You have invested $8700.00 in your initial costs. Write an equation that gives the profit P = P (n) as a function of the number of computers you sell. Calculate P(8).
P = P(c) where P= profit, c = computers sold P (8) = 105 x 8 -8700 = -7860.00 dollars, here we see a loss which means this is not a profitable business.

** Relate functional notation to practical explainations of what certain functions mean** If p(t) is the profit I expect my business to earn t years after opening, use functional notation to express expected profit after 2 years 6 months.
To express the expected profit, note that the variable t is measured in years, so 2 years and 6 months corresponds to t = 2.5 and so the expected profit is expressed by p(2.5)

7The following table shows the value B, in billions of dollars, of new construction put in place in the United States during year t. Explain in practical terms what B(2000) means, and estimate its value. t = Year B = Value (Billion dollars) 1992 639.3 1995 678.2 1998 775.2 2001 814.7
B (2000) = B(2001) - B(1998) / 2001 - 1998 = 814.7 - 775.2 / 3 = 13.17 13.17 is the yearly rate of change between 2001 and 1998 B(2000) = B(1998) + 2 years x previously found yearly rate of change B (2000) = 775.2 + 2 x 13.17 = 801.54 thus B(2000) was 801.54 billio dollars that year.
