You are at Denner. You buy ramen, candy, and cereal because that is all that we eat at Swiss Semester. The total cost of these three items is 8.52 CHF. Ramen is 0.94 CHF more than the candy, and the sum of the ramen and cereal is 2.34 CHF more than the candy. Set up a system of linear equations to find the cost of each item. (Noah)

x+y+z=8.52

x=y+0.94

x+z=y+2.34

The profits of Wyatt's wall company (since 2014) have been growing exponentially. His profits are represented by y=3x-2 (in millions), where x is years since 2014. How much money is Wyatt going to make in 2024 (in billions)? (Campbell)

What is $6.561 billion?

Kathy is a better skier than Peter. Kathy skis on the line -12x+6y=36, and Peter skis on the perpendicular line through the point (0, 4). What is the equation of the line that Peter skis? (Raina)

What is y=(-1/2)x+4?

200

You conduct an experiment to see if the number of crepes impacts ski speed. The r value of your data is 0.2. Is the data worth modeling linearly? Explain. (Chloe)

What is no because 0.2 is close to 0?

200

The trajectory of the KC Chiefs is defined by -5 x^4 + 10 x^3 -5 x^2. Find the zeros (and their multiplicities) of this trajectory. (Noah)

What are x=0 (mult. 2) and x=1 (mult. 2)

Wyatt's profits are modeled by y=3x-2. His costs are modeled by y=2x-1+0.25. What does the intersection of these two graphs represent? (Campbell)

What is the point where he breaks even?

Bob and Chad are required to skate parallel to each other. Bob is skating on the line -4x+2y=2, and Chad needs to pass through the point (4, 6). What is the equation of the line in standard form that Chad must skate? (Raina)

What is y-2x+2=0?

300

True or False: If the determinant of a matrix is zero, then there are no solutions. (Ms. Dickey)

What is False (you just cannot use Cramer's Rule)?
300

If the multiplicities of the zeros of a function are k, n, m, p, and q, what is the degree of the polynomial? (Ms. Dickey)

What is k+n+m+p+q?

What is James is 16 and Scarlett is 14?

400
Does {(7, 2), (1, 4), (0, 0), (1, 3)} have an inverse function? If so, what is it? (Ms. Dickey)

What is no because it is not a function to begin with?
