2.John manufactures household furniture. His start-up costs, including tools, plans, and advertising, total $5000. Labor and materials for each piece of furniture total $350, and his production costs are the sum of his start-up costs plus the cost of labor and materials. If John makes f pieces of furniture, what will be his production costs, c, in dollars?
A.f=350c+5000
B.c=350f+5000
C.f=5000c+350
D.c=5000f+350
Correct answer: B
3.The number of problems assigned as homework by a savvy math professor is a function of the length of the class on a particular day, which is either 45 minutes, 90 minutes, or 135 minutes. He first multiplies the number of minutes by 4 and then divides that number by 9. Finally, he subtracts 12 from that amount. Which of the following functions best represents the number of math problems the professor assigns depending on the length of the class, t, in minutes?
A. f(t)=94t−12
B. f(t)=94(t−12)
C. f(t)=12−94t
D. f(t)=12+94t
Correct answer: A

6.A construction company's fees include a flat daily charge to come to a work site, in addition to a constant hourly rate. Any fractional hours are charged at that fraction of the hourly rate. Additionally, if a job takes less than 10 hours to complete, it is completed in one day. According to these rules, a 3.5 hour job would cost $250 and an 8 hour job would cost $475. If the construction company completes a job in one day, which of the following functions best models the cost, c, in dollars, for an h hour job?
A.c(h)=50h
B.c(h)=60h
C.c(h)=50h+75
D.c(h)=60h+10
Correct answer: C

A.p(t)=271,095+7,500t
B.p(t)=308,595+7,500t
C.p(t)=346,095+7,500t
D.p(t)=−14,728,905+7,500t
