3) If f ( x)  3 x  2 and g ( x)  x , evaluate the following:
2
a) f (0) b) f (1)

c) g ( 4) d) g (1)

4) Let J(x) be Laura’s distance above the ground as she skydives and falls to the ground, where x is
time in seconds and J(x) is distance in feet. Interpret (i.e. use words to describe) the following:

J(0) = 13,500

J(10) = 10,570

Extra: Sketch a possible graph of J(x).

5) Let g(x) be the number of gallons of gas used by a car during a drive, where x is the number of
miles. Interpret the following:

g(20) = 0.8

g(130) = 5.6

Extra: Sketch a possible graph of g(x).

Extra: What is this car’s approximate miles per gallon rate?
