constructing graphs algebra 1 topic 1
lesson 1: overview and representing data\thomework/staying sharp page 5 of 5

  1. a certain plumber charges $75 for a service visit, plus $60 per hour for every hour worked. consider the relationship between the total cost for the job and the number of hours the plumber takes to complete the job.

what is the independent variable?
what is the dependent variable?

  1. suppose a second plumber charges $110 per hour. this plumber does not have an additional charge for a service visit.

write an equation that shows the relationship between the total cost of the job, c, and the number of hours it takes the plumber to complete the job, h.

  1. a third plumber charges for different amounts of time worked as shown in the table. make a scatterplot of the data in the table.

work time (hours) | amount charged (dollars)
1 | 120
2 | 140
3 | 160
4 | 180
grid for scatterplot

  1. $\sqrt{75}$ is between what two whole numbers?
  2. express each number in the indicated equivalent form.

a. write 25,500 in scientific notation
b. write $2.3 \times 10^{-5}$ in standard form.

  1. find the length of the hypotenuse in the right triangle shown.

triangle with legs 6 and 8, hypotenuse x

Response
Question 1

Step1: Identify Independent Variable

The independent variable is the one that is manipulated or changed. Here, the number of hours the plumber works is the independent variable because it's what we can choose or it changes freely.

Step2: Identify Dependent Variable

The dependent variable depends on the independent variable. The total cost of the job depends on the number of hours worked, so total cost is the dependent variable.

Step1: Determine Cost Relationship

The plumber charges $110 per hour, and no service visit fee. So total cost LXI0 is $110 times the number of hours \( h \).

Step2: Write the Equation

Using the relationship, the equation is \( c = 110h \).

Step1: Identify Axes

Set x - axis for work time (hours) and y - axis for amount charged (dollars).

Step2: Plot Points

For each row in the table, plot the (work time, amount charged) pair. For example, (1, 120) means at x = 1 (1 hour), y = 120 (120 dollars). Do this for (2, 140), (3, 160), (4, 180).

Answer:

Independent variable: Number of hours the plumber takes to complete the job
Dependent variable: Total cost of the job
