III. PROBLEM SOLVING: Solve what are asked in the given problem. Show your complete solutions.
1. The electric current 𝐼 (in amperes) passing through a resistor is related to the voltage 𝑉 across a resistor (in volts) and the
𝑉
resistance 𝑅 (in ohms) by the formula 𝐼 = . If the resistor is connected across the terminals of a car battery (12 volts).
𝑅
a. Write a function model that represents this situation.

b. Construct a table of values of the current across the resistor for different resistor values 2000, 3000, 4000, and 5000
ohms.

2. Past records from a factory producing electronic components show that on average, new employees can assemble 𝑛(𝑡)
components per day after 𝑡 days of training, where
75𝑡
𝑛(𝑡) = 𝑡+5 𝑡 ≥ 0.
a. Sketch the graph in the first quandrant. Write the intercepts and
asymptotes.

b. What happens to 𝑛(𝑡) as 𝑡 approaches 0? What does this mean in practical terms?
