    diminished by 5 is equal to
    another number y.
    2. The sum of the squares of the
    first two consecutive numbers
    is equal to the square of the
    third number
    Preliminaries…

      The area A of a trapezoid is


    •3.
    equal to one-half of the
    product of its height h, and the
    sum of the bases and .
    4. The average of three
    consecutive numbers.
    Preliminaries…

    5. Distance d is equal to one-half


    the product of the acceleration
    due to gravity g, and the
    square of the time t.
    Steps in solving problems
    involving functions
    1. Read and comprehend the
    problem
    2. Sketch the problem if possible
    3. Identify the function to be
    used in representing the given
    problem
    Steps in solving problems
    involving functions
    4. Write the function that
    describe the problem
    5. Use the function to solve the
    problem
    6. Check the answer
    Example 1

     
    •The area of a rectangle is . The
    length of the rectangle is one
    less than thrice its width. What
    are the dimensions of the given
    rectangle?
    Solution
    A=area of the
    On
    rectangle el
    t h es
    y=width t hr an s
    y A = 420 i
     
    ce
    x=length w id it s
    th
    =3y – 1
    x

    Ans: 12 cm x 35 cm
    Example 2

    A certain compound is a mixture


    of two concentrations of iron
    which are 44% and 29%. How
    many pounds of each
    concentration must be used to
    form 50 lbs. of compound having
    38% iron?
    Solution
    Substance Amount (lbs) Solution
    44% Iron x 0.44x
    29% Iron 50 - x 0.29(50 – x)
    38% Iron 50 0.38(50)
    Solution

    Ans:
    x = 30 lbs (44% Iron)
    50 – x = 20 lbs (29% Iron)
