P.1 MODELING THE REAL WORLD WITH ALGEBRA
1. Using this model, we find that 15 cars have W 4 15 60 wheels. To find the number of cars that have a total of
W
W wheels, we write W 4X X .If the cars in a parking lot have a total of 124 wheels, we find that there are
4
X 124
4 31 cars in the lot.
2. If each gallon of gas costs $350, then x gallons of gas costs $35x. Thus, C 35x. We find that 12 gallons of gas would
cost C 35 12 $42.
3. If x $120 and T 006x, then T 006 120 72. The sales tax is $720.
4. If x 62,000 and T 0005x, then T 0005 62,000 310. The wage tax is $310.
5. If 70, t 35, and d t, then d 70 35 245. The car has traveled 245 miles.

15. The cost C of purchasing x gallons of gas at $350 a gallon is C 35x.
16. The amount T of a 15% tip on a restaurant bill of x dollars is T 015x.
17. The distance d in miles that a car travels in t hours at 60 mi/h is d 60t.

19. (a) $12 3 $1 $12 $3 $15
(b) The cost C, in dollars, of a pizza with n toppings is C 12 n.
(c) Using the model C 12 n with C 16, we get 16 12 n n 4. So the pizza has four toppings.

(c) We have C 140 and n 3. Substituting, we get 140 30 3 01m 140 90 01m 50 01m
m 500. So the rental was driven 500 miles.
21. (a) (i) For an allelectric car, the energy cost of driving x miles is Ce 004x.
(ii) For an average gasoline powered car, the energy cost of driving x miles is C g 012x.
(b) (i) The cost of driving 10,000 miles with an allelectric car is Ce 004 10,000 $400.
(ii) The cost of driving 10,000 miles with a gasoline powered car is C g 012 10,000 $1200.

(c) Any irreducible fraction with q 1 is rational but is not an integer. Examples: 32 , 12
5 , 1729 .

(d) Any number which cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers is irrational. Examples are 2, 3, , and e.

3. (a) In setbuilder notation: x 3 x 5 (c) As a graph:
_3 5
(b) In interval notation: 3 5
4. The symbol x stands for the absolute value of the number x. If x is not 0, then the sign of x is always positive.
5. The distance between a and b on the real line is d a b b a. So the distance between 5 and 2 is 2 5 7.
6. (a) If a b, then any interval between a and b (whether or not it contains either endpoint) contains infinitely many
ba
numbers—including, for example a n for every positive n. (If an interval extends to infinity in either or both
2
directions, then it obviously contains infinitely many numbers.)
