Essential Question: How do equations help me solve problems? SWBAT: Create equations and inequalities in one variable and use them to solve problems (Linear and Quadratic (parabolic) relationships) Write and solve equations given the following real life problems. Remember to define your variable(s). Linear Relationships: Systems of Linear Equations 1. Wendy is starting a catering business and is attempting to figure out which company she should be using to transport the food to different locations. She has found two trucking companies that are willing to make sure her food arrives intact. Peters Pick Up charges $0.40 per mile and charges a flat f ee of $68. Helens Haulers charges $0.65 per mile and charges a flat fee of $23. A) Define your variables.

B) Write a system of equations to model the above situation.

C) For what distance would the cost of transporting the food be the same for both companies? What is that equal cost? Explain your answer

D) Which company charges a lower fee for a 160 mile trip? Justify your answer.

E) Which company will move a greater distance for $200? Justify your answer.

Linear Relationships: Inequalities: 2. Brad decides to take up golf. He will be charged $18 for each round of gold that he plays and a membership will cost $450 for the season Brad is on a budget does not want to spend more than $1000 this season. Write and solve an inequality to determine the maximum number of rounds of gold he can play and not exceed his budget.

Parabolic Relationships (Quadratic equations): For the problems below, Use height function: h = -16t 2 + h 0 ho is the initial height. 3. For a science competition, students must design a container that prevents an egg from breaking when dropped from a height of 50 feet. How long does the container take to hit the ground?

Mixed practice 4. A school is raising money for new football uniforms by selling t-shirts. Short sleeved shirts cost the school $5 each and can be sold to students for $8 each. Long sleeved shirts cost the school $7 each and are sold for $12 each. If the school spends $2500 on t-shirts and can sell all of them for $4200, how many of each type should they sell? (Note: in this problem you must create 2 money equations)
