Biography

I retired in June 2021 after teaching high school math for about 20 years. Helping students "get it" has been one of my greatest joys, and I am hoping that Numerade will allow me to continue doing that using new platform.

I am interested in finding out more.

Precalculus with Limits

Consumer Awareness The cost $C$ (in dollars) of
making $x$ photocopies at a copy shop is given by
$$
C(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll}{0.15 x,} & {0 < x \leq 25} \\ {0.10 x,} & {25 < x \leq 100} \\ {0.07 x,} & {100 < x \leq 500} \\ {0.05 x,} & {x > 500}\end{array}\right.
$$
(a) Sketch a graph of the function.
(b) Find each limit and interpret your result in the
context of the situation.
$$
\text { (i) }\lim _{x \rightarrow 15} C(x) \quad \text { (ii) } \lim _{x \rightarrow 99} C(x) \quad \text { (iii) } \lim _{x \rightarrow 305} C(x)
$$
(c) Create a table of values to show numerically that
each limit does not exist.
$$
\text { (i) }\lim _{x \rightarrow 25} C(x) \quad \text { (ii) } \lim _{x \rightarrow 100} C(x) \quad \text { (iii) }_{x \rightarrow 500} C(x)
$$
(d) Explain how to use the graph in part (a) to verify
that the limits in part (c) do not exist.

Determine whether each statement is true or false. If the statement is false, make the necessary change(s) to produce a true statement.
The graph of a function with origin symmetry can rise to the left and rise to the right.

In $1995,$ there were 315 death sentences rendered by American juries. For the period from 1995 through 2014, the number of death sentences rendered by juries decreased by approximately 13 per year. If this trend continues, by which year will American juries render 29 death sentences? (Source: Death Penalty Information Center) (Section P.8, Example 2)

Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning.
Figure 2.8 on page 324 shows that a linear function provides a better description of the football's path than a quadratic function.
