Body mass index (BMI) relates body weight to health risks associated with being overweight. To figure a person's BMI you need to perform the following calculations:
(a) multiply weight (in pounds) by 0.45
(b) multiply height (in inches) by 0.025
(c) square the result in step (b)
(d) divide the result in step (a) by the result in step (c).
Let B denote the BMI of a woman weighing 150 pounds, write an equation describing B as a function of h, where h represents the woman's height in inches. (Source: The Mayo Clinic Healthy Weight Plan)

You want to invest $2,500 and you are considering two investment plans, plan A and plan B. Let A = A(t) and B = B(t) be the functions representing, respectively, your investment amount for plan A and plan B after t years. Indicate which one, if any, is a linear function and state its slope and y intercept.
| t (years) | 0 | 1 | 2 | 5 | 10 | | A(t) (years) | 2,500 | 2,700 | 2,900 | 3,500 | 4,500 | | A(t) (years) | 2,500 | 2,675 | 2,862 | 3,506 | 4,918 |

A cleaning company is advertising a particular type of service for $42.00. If the cost for providing that service is given by the functions C(x) = 200 + 20x (where x is the number of services provided per weel and C(x) is the corresponding cost in dollars), and if the price-demand equation has been estimated to be p = 70 -0.7x, should the company increase or decrease the charge for the service, in order to maximize profit?
