Math 123 Quantiative Reasoning chapter Linear models
1.) According to the Ivy Tech website, students will pay a $60 technology fee and $121.50 per credit hour for spring 2014.
a) Set up a linear model to calculate a student’s bill based on this information.
b) The independent variable in m model is_____ and it represents_______
c) The dependent variable in my model is_______ and it represents_______
d) Use your model to determine how many credit hours a student is taking if his bill is $1639.50?
Explanation / Answer
1Total bill = Technology fee+ no of hour * per hour credit
Bill = t + n*c
2.Independent variable is ' t' and it represents technology fee .
3The dependent variable in my mode is 'n' and it represent no of hour.
1639.50 = 60 + n * 121.50
1639.50 - 60 = n * 121.50
1579.5 /121.50=n
n=13
