Preview Assignment 5A

1) The cost to attend a college often depends on the number of credit hours a student takes. Geena looked at the information from her college and created this table: Part A: If Geena takes 3 credits, what is the tuition cost per credit hour? If she takes 5 credits, what is the tuition cost per credit hour? Make sure you include the appropriate units. Hint: This question asks for the tuition cost per credit hour, not the total tuition. Part B: Make an observation about the cost per credit hour. Is it changing or is it fixed? Hint: It may help to calculate the tuition cost per credit hour for each of the rows in the table. Part C: For each additional credit that a student takes, what is the additional cost? Part D: What type of function describes the information in this table? Explain your reasoning. Hint: Think about the different types of functions you have reviewed in previous lessons. Part E: Let T(h) be the total tuition for a student taking h credit hours. Write a formula for the function T. Geena looked at another college's website and found this table for tuition charges: Part A: Verify that cost per credit hour information in column 3 is correct. Part B: Does the cost per credit hour change depending on the number of credit hours taken? Part C: If a student takes 7 credit hours, what is the expected total tuition cost? Part D: If a student takes 13 credit hours, what is the expected total tuition cost? Part E: Let T(h) be the total tuition for a student taking h credit hours at this college. Determine a formula for the function T
