 INTRODUCCTION
Many processes of everyday life can be represented by means of the linear function, direct
proportionality is the relationship that we can see in most problem situations that constantly
happen to us, such as economic problems, investments, profits, losses, health
complications, use of technology due to time, statistical trends among others. For this
reason, it is important to study the linear function and its characteristics, that is, the slope
and its meaning, the cut-off points and its potentialities in environments other than
mathematical ones.
The aforementioned allows to establish an introductory way, to the fundamentals of
analytical geometry and conics in particular.

Assignment Week 5
Solve the following Proposed Exercise:
1. A's age is 5 times that of B, the sum of both is 54 years. Find the ages.
Edad A: 5x
Edad B: X

Planteamiento del problema

5x + x = 54
6x = 54
54
X=
6
X=9

Edad de A = 45 años
Edad de B = 9 años

2. Find three consecutive natural numbers whose sum equals 78.

Primer número: X
Segundo número: x + 1
Tercer número: X + 2

Planteamiento del problema

x + (x+1) + (x+2) = 78
3x + 3 = 78
3x = 78 – 3
3x = 75
75
x=
3
x = 25
 Primer número: 25
Segundo número: 26
Tercer número: 27
Suma: 78

3. The number of women enrolled in 1st. ITSA's electromechanical semester is one eighth
of the number of men. If the program has a total of 72 students enrolled. How many men
and how many women?
x
Número de mujeres: x =
8
Número de hombres: x

Planteamiento del problema:

x
+ x=72
8
x+ 8 x
=72
8
9 x=576
576
x=
9
x=64

Número de mujeres: 64/8 = 8

Número de Hombres: 64
Total: 72

4. The mathematical model y = 420 x + 720 approximates losses due to credit card
fraud worldwide, between 1989 and 1993, where x = 0 corresponds to 1989, x = 1
corresponds to 1990, etc. ., and it's in millions of dollars. Based on this model, what
would be the approximate amount of credit card fraud losses in 1994? In what year
would the losses reach 3,660 million dollars (that is, 3,660,000,000)?
 a. ¿Cuál sería la cantidad aproximada de pérdidas por fraudes con tarjetas de
crédito en 1994?

x=4(1994)
y=420 x+720
y=420( 4)+720
y=1680+ 720
y=2400millones de dolares

b. ¿En qué año las perdidas alcanzarían los 3.660 millones de dólares?

x=( Año desconocido)

3660=420 x+ 720
3660−720=420 x
2940=420 x
2940
7= =x
420
x=7

Las pérdidas se registraran en el año de 1997

5. According to research by the Beverage Marketing Corporation, ready-to-drink iced tea

sales have been very successful in recent years. The model y = 310 x + 260 approximates
general income, where x = 0 corresponds to 1991 and y is in millions of dollars.
Based on this model, what would be the profit generated in 1992? In what year would the
revenue be $ 2.43 billion?
Con base en este modelo ¿Cuál sería la ganancia generada en 1992? ¿En qué año los
ingresos serian de $2,43 mil millones de dólares?

Ingreso general: y=310 x +260

 a. ¿Cuál sería la ganancia generada en 1992?

Para el año x=1(1992)

y=310 ( 1 ) +260=570 millones dolares

b. ¿En qué año los ingresos serian de $2,43 mil millones de dólares?
2430=310 x +260
2430−260=310 x
2170=310 x
2170
¿ =x
310
7=x

Estas ganancias se generarían en 1998

CONCLUSIONS
 A positive slope in a linear function indicates growth or increase of the dependent
variable
 A negative slope in a linear function indicates decrease or decrease of the dependent
variable
 In economics, the concepts of slope and linear function allow establishing the
equilibrium point between income and expenses of a company, as well as profits
and losses
 The Pythagorean theorem, having the legs as variables and their radius as constant,
generates a circle in the Cartesian plane
