Sample questions for Test 1, with answers
Not all questions will necessarily be like the ones on the following pages,
but they do give a pretty good idea of the types of questions to expect.
Answers (but not complete solutions) follow the set of questions for each
of the two chapters.
In the sample questions for Chapter 2, do not consider #17.
Also, study the three quizzes for which you were provided detailed
solutions. There will be at least one Test 1 question similar to a question on
each quiz, i.e., at least one question like a Quiz 1 question, at least one like
a Quiz 2 question, etc.

14. Jason leaves Detroit at 3:00 P.M. and drives at a constant speed west along I-90. He passes Ann Arbor,
40 mi from Detroit, at 3:30 P.M. The graph of the function of the distance traveled (in miles) in terms
of the time elapsed (in hours) is given below. Find the slope of the function.
15. The monthly cost of driving a car depends on the number of miles driven. Samantha found that in
October it cost her $312.5 to drive 500 mi and in February it cost her $375 to drive 1,000 mi.
