Exercise 11
Let c(t) be the number of customers in a restaurant t hours after
8 A.M. Match each statement with its meaning.
1 There are no
customers in
c(0) = 0
the restaurant
at 8 A.M.
2 There are the
same number
of customers in
c(3) = c(8) the restaurant
at 11 A.M. as
there are at 4
P.M.
3 There are 29
customers in
c(n) = 29 the restaurant
n hours after 8
A.M.
4 There are fewer
customers in
the restaurant
c(13) < c(12)
at 9 P.M. than
there are at 8
P.M.
There are no customers in the restaurant at midnight.
There are n customers in the restaurant 29 hours after 8
A.M.
There are fewer customers in the restaurant at 1:00 P.M.
than there are at noon.
There are the same number of customers in the
restaurant at 3 A.M. as there are at 8 A.M.

Exercise 29
The graph shows the percent p (in decimal form) of battery power
remaining in a laptop computer after t hours of use. A tablet
computer initially has 75% of its battery power remaining and
loses 12.5% per hour. Which computer’s battery will last longer?
Explain.
the tablet computer; The graph of the tablet computer
has a slope of −0.125 , which is less steep than
−0.20, the slope of the graph of the laptop computer.
the tablet computer; The graph of the tablet computer
shows that when p(t) = 0 , t is 6, which is greater
than 5.
the laptop computer; The graph of the laptop
computer has a slope of −0.20, which is steeper
than −0.125 , the slope of the graph of the tablet
computer.
the laptop computer; The graph of the laptop
computer shows that when p(t) = 0 , t is 5, which is
less than 6.
Exercise 30
The function C(x) = 25x + 50 represents the labor cost (in
dollars) for Certified Remodeling to build a deck, where x is the
