1. Recall that we can write the following formula: C = (5/9)(F - 32). Here, F is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, and C is the temperature in degrees Celsius. Take the formula and solve for F, to obtain another formula which which gives temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.
a. F = (5/9)(C - 32)
b. F = (9/5)(C + 32)
c. F = (9/5)C + 32
d. F = (5/9)C - 32
e. F = (5/9)(C + 32)
2. Generally, cars lose value as they age. If the initial cost of a car is $25,000 and the car loses $1500 per year, find a formula that gives the value, V, of the car, in dollars, t years after it is purchased.
a. V = 25000 t - 1500
b. V = 25000 t + 1500
c. V = 25000 - 1500 t
d. V = 25000 + 1500 t
e. V = 25000 - 1500
3. Solve the equation x2+3x = 4
a. x = 3 or x =4
b. x = 1 or x = -4
c. x = -3 or x = 4
d. x = -1 or x = 4
e. x = 1
