To rent a canoe, the cost is $3 for the oars and life
preserver, plus $5 an hour for the canoe. Which
graph models the cost of renting a canoe?
Formula to model cost of renting canoe

To rent a canoe, the cost is $3 for the oars and life
preserver, plus $5 an hour for the canoe. Which
graph models the cost of renting a canoe?
Cost Formula: C(x) = 5x + 3
A.

Answer A is incorrect.
First, the graph is not linear.
The graph has a y-intercept = 0,
but the Cost Formula has a
y-intercept = 3.

To rent a canoe, the cost is $3 for the oars and life
preserver, plus $5 an hour for the canoe. Which
graph models the cost of renting a canoe?
Cost Formula: C(x) = 5x + 3
D.
The graph is a Horizontal Line.
y=5
Answer D is incorrect. The equation
y = 5 concludes that the total rental
cost will be $5, regardless of the
number of hours rental. (i.e. The
canoe rental cost would be $5, if
rented for 1 hour or 20 hours.)

Juan and Patti decided to see who could read Unit 3
the most books in a month. They began to keep
track after Patti had already read 5 books that
month. This graph shows the number of books
Patti read for the next 10 days.
If Juan has read no books
before the fourth day of the
month and he reads at the same
rate as Patti, how many books
will he have read by day 12?
Step 1: Determine the time that
passes for Juan to read from
day 4 to day 12 (12–4 = 8 days)
8 days

Juan and Patti decided to see who could read the most Unit 3
books in a month. They began to keep track after Patti
had already read 5 books that month. This graph shows
the number of books Patti read for the next 10 days.
If Juan has read no books before the
fourth day of the month and he reads
at the same rate as Patti, how many
books will he have read by day 12?
10
8
8 days
Step 2: Calculate the rate of
books to days for Patti in 8 days.
Thus, the number of books Patti
read in 8 days was 10 books.
Step 3: If Juan read at the same
rate as Patti, then by day 12 he
would have also read 10 books.

Which statement is true about
the function f (x) = 7?
Unit 3
A. The function is odd because –f(x) = f(–x).
B. The function is even because –f(x) = f(–x).
Odd function rule
C. The function is odd because f(x) = f(–x).
D. The function is even because f(x) = f(–x).
Note: f (x) = 7 is the equation of a horizontal line.
It can be rewritten as y = 7.
