A communications company charges $5.00 for the first 10 minutes of a call and $1.20 for each minute thereafter. Which of the following equations correctly relates the price in dollars, d, to the number of minutes, m (when m is greater than or equal to 10)?


Choices:
d = 5 + 1.2m
d = 5 + 1.2(m - 10)
d = 5m + 1.1(m + 10)
d=(m + 10)(5 + 1.2)

d = 5 + 1.2(m - 10)

Frustrated with your calculus class, you attach a rocket to it and launch it down from your dorm window. The height of the book, in feet over the car after t seconds is given by the function h(t) = 200 – 16t2. The book will dent your car if it’s going more than 100 feet per second. Will your car get dented?
Hint:The given equation is not for the velocity of a falling object. It is a position function.

Yes
