Lesson 8.1
Investigating Algebra Activity 8.1 (p. 550)
1. No, because the ratios of apparent height to the distance are not approximately equal.
2. Answers will vary. The products are approximately equal.
3. Answers will vary. The equation should be of the form xy 5 a, where a is the approximate value of each product in Exercise 2.
4. Answers will vary.

8.1 Exercises (pp. 555–557)
Skill Practice
1. If z varies directly with the product of x and y, then z is said to vary jointly with x and y.
2. Find the product x p y for each data pair (x, y). If the products are constant or approximately constant, then the set of data pairs shows inverse variation.
3. xy 5 1 } 5

b. The number of shares of stock sold on the New York Stock Exchange increased each year from 1993 to 2002.
c. Because the model represents the total number of shares of stock sold each year, you need to look at the points on the graph for t 5 1, 2, 3, etc. From the graph, you can see that n is less than 100 at t 5 2 and n is greater than 100 at t 5 3. So you can estimate that the year when the number of shares of stock sold was fi rst greater than 100 billion was 1996.

Using the minimum feature, you get a minimum value of about 777, which occurs when r ø 6.42 and
h ø 1663
} π (6.42)2 ø 12.84.
So, the oatmeal canister using the least amount of material has a radius of about 6.42 centimeters and a height of about 12.84 centimeters.

The time after the second dose has been taken is t 2 1 ø 2.209 2 1 ø 1.209. Since 0.209 3 60 ø 13, the greatest amount of aspirin is in the bloodstream about 1 hour 13 minutes after the second dose has been taken.

8.6 Exercises (pp. 592–595)
Skill Practice
1. When you write x }
3 5
x 1 2 } 5 as 5x 5 3(x 1 2), you are
cross-multiplying.
2. The solution x 5 4 is extraneous because after substituting this value into the original equation you
obtain 5 }
4 2 4 0
4 }
4 2 4 →
5 }
0 0
4 }
0 . Division by zero
is undefi ned, so 4 is an extraneous solution.
3. Graph both sides of the original equation in the same coordinate plane. If the graphs intersect at a possible solution, then it is a solution. If the graphs do not intersect at a possible solution, then it is an extraneous solution.

26. Cross-multiplying was used incorrectly. The original equation is not expressed as a proportion, so you must solve the equation by multiplying each side of the equation by the LCD, 2x2.

The speed of skater 2 is 35.04 kilometers per hour and the speed of skater 1 is 35.04 1 4.38 5 39.42 kilometers per hour.
c. Skater 1 traveled 9 kilometers at a rate of 39.42 kilometers per hour. To fi nd how long the skater skated, use the distance formula d 5 rt and solve for t.
d 5 rt
9 5 39.42t
0.228 ø t
Because skater 1 traveled 9 kilometers in the same amount of time it took skater 2 to travel 8 kilometers, both skaters skated for about 0.228 hour or 60(0.228) ø 13.7 minutes.

t ø 9.49 or t ø 1.45
Because 9.49 is not in the domain (0 ≤ t ≤ 9), t ø 1.45 is the only solution. So, the total number of CDs shipped was about 720 million about 1 year after 1994, or in 1995.

Then, using the table feature, you see that f (4) ø 0.11375. So, the average price per minute fell to 11 cents about 4 years after 1998, or 2002.

c. From the graph, 7.7 million males were enrolled in high school about 18 years after 1980, or in 1998.
d. Sample answer: The graph decreases from 1980 to about 1991, then the graph increases. It has a horizontal
asymptote at n 5 0.0441
} 0.00565 ø 7.8, which means as x
increases, n gets closer and closer to 7.8. This trend will most likely not continue indefi nitely because the U.S. population increases each year, and the number of males enrolled in high school should increase each year as well.
