6. (20 pts) Ted’s car has broken down and he needs it towed. A quick search reveals that two towing services offer the following arrangements:
Acme Towing: Pay a fee of $60.00, plus $2.50 per mile towed
or BeQuick: Pay a fee of $33.00, plus $4.00 per mile towed
(a) State a linear function f (x) that represents Acme Towing’s total charge for towing a vehiclexmiles.
(b) State a linear function g(x) that represents BeQuick Towing’s total charge for towing a vehiclexmiles.
(c) Ted needs to have his car towed 22 miles, as cheaply as possible. Which towing service should he choose? Show work/explanation.
(d) For what distance towed is the total towing charge exactly the same for both towing services? Show algebraic work/explanation.
(e) Fill in the blanks:
The BeQuick towing service is the cheaper option if the vehicle is towed _____( than______ miles.

EXPLAIN YOUR CHOICE.(Grid supplied for scratch work; You are NOT required to submit your own graph)
y = f (x)
GRAPH A (below) GRAPH B(below)
GRAPH C(below) GRAPH D(below)
8. (20 pts, no explanation required)
Consider the graph of the piecewise function y = f (x) pictured below.
(a) State the value of f (–2).
(b) State the x-intercept(s), if any.
(c) State the y-intercept(s), if any.
(d) State the domain of the piecewise function.
(e) State the range of the piecewise function.
(f) State the interval(s) on which the function is increasing. That is, for what x-values is the function increasing?
(g) State the interval(s) on which the function is decreasing. That is, for what x-values is the function decreasing?
9. (14 ptsLife expectancy at birth is the estimated lifespan of a baby born in a particular year (given the conditions of that time period). Based on data retrieved from http://www.indexmundi.com/facts/united-states/life-expectancy-at-birth the following chart of U.S. life expectancy for females has been prepared.
The regression line is y = 0.151x – 222.26, where x = birth year and y = U.S. female life expectancy, in years. The value of r2 is 0.9366.
(a) Use the regression line to estimate the U.S. life expectancy of a female baby born in 1970, to the nearest tenth of a year. Show some work.
(b) Use the regression line to estimate the U.S. life expectancy of a female baby born in 2016, to the nearest tenth of a year. Show some work.
(c) What is the slope of the regression line and what are the units of measurement? In a sentence, interpret what the slope is telling us, in the context of this real-world application.
(d) What is the value of the correlation coefficient, r? Also, interpret its value: Looking at the graph and the size of r, do you judge the strength of the linear relationship to be very strong, moderately strong, somewhat weak, or very weak?
