5) Explain how you determined which pair of numbers have the largest product.

##### Problem 2

Here are some lengths and widths of a rectangle whose perimeter is 20 meters.

6) Determine the area, in square meters, given the length is 1 meter and the width is 9 meters.

Show Work

7) Determine the area, in square meters, given the length is 3 meter and the width is 7 meters.

Show Work

8) Determine the width, in meters, given the length is 5 meters.

9) Then, what is the area?

Show Work

10) Determine the width, in meters, given the length is 7 meters.

11) Then, what is the area?

Show Work

12) Determine the width, in meters, given the length is 9 meters.

13) Then, what is the area?

Show Work

14) What do you notice about the areas?

15) Without calculating, predict whether the area of the rectangle will be greater or less than 25 square meters if the length is 5.25 meters.

16) On the coordinate plane, plot the points for length and area from your table.

17) Do the values change in a linear way?

18) Do they change in an exponential way?

##### Problem 3

The table shows the relationship between ﻿$x$﻿ and ﻿$y$﻿, the side lengths of a rectangle, and the area of the rectangle.

﻿$\begin{array}{|c|c|c|} \hline \\[-1em] x \textbf{( cm)} & y \textbf{( cm)} & \textbf{area (sq cm)} \\[-1em] \\ \hline \\[-1em] 2 & 4 & 8 \\[-1em] \\ \hline \\[-1em] 4 & 8 & 32 \\[-1em] \\ \hline \\[-1em] 6 & 12 & 72 \\[-1em] \\ \hline \\[-1em] 8 & 16 & 128 \\[-1em] \\ \hline \end{array}$﻿

19) Explain why the relationship between the side lengths is linear.

20) Explain why the relationship between ﻿$x$﻿ and the area is neither linear nor exponential.

##### Problem 4

21) Which statement best describes the relationship between a rectangle's side length and area as represented by the graph.

a)

As the side length increases by 1, the area increases and then decreases by an equal amount.

b)

As the side length increases by 1, the area increases and then decreases by an equal factor.

c)

As the side length increases by 1, the area does not increase or decrease by an equal amount.

d)

As the side length increases by 1, the area does not change.

##### Problem 5

Copies of a book are arranged in a stack. Each copy of a book is 2.1 cm thick.

Determine the stack height, in cm, given the stack has...

22) 0 copies of the book.

Show Work

23) 1 copy of the book.

Show Work

24) 2 copies of the book.

Show Work

25) 3 copies of the book.

Show Work

26) 4 copies of the book.

Show Work

27) What do you notice about the differences in the height of the stack of books when a new copy of the book is added?

28) What do you notice about the factor by which the height of the stack of books changes when a new copy is added?

29) How high is a stack of ﻿$b$﻿ books?

##### Problem 6

The value of a phone when it was purchased was $500. It loses ﻿$\frac{1}{5}$﻿ of its value a year. 30) What is the value of the phone after 1 year? Show Work 31) What is the value of the phone after 2 years? Show Work 32) What is the value of the phone after 3 years? Show Work 33) Tyler says that the value of the phone decreases by$100 each year since ﻿$\frac{1}{5}$﻿ of 500 is 100. Do you agree with Tyler?

a)

Yes

b)

No

c)

35) Give a value for ﻿$r$﻿ that indicates that a line of best fit has a negative slope and models the data well.
