1. 8; $8 is put away each week. Explanation: between week 0 and week 10 $100 - $20 = $80 were saved, that means, $8 per week.
2. f(x+1). Explanation: f(x- 1) shift f(x) to the right, f(x)+1 shift f(x) upwards, f(x)-1 shift f(x) downwards
3. g (x)= -x^2 - 5. Explanation: the reflection of f(x) in the x- axis is -f(x)
4. the graph stretched vertically by a factor of 5 and translated up 5 units. Explanation: a*f(x), a > 1 will stretch the graph of f(x) vertically by a factor of a (a = 5 in this case). f(x) + b translates the graph b units up (b = 5 in this case)
8. y = 6x. Explanation: see item 4
9. f(x) and g(x) are not provided

x: time, y: pounds of strawberries processed;
data: point (4.5, 1445) and point (7, 2320);
formula of a line: y = m*x + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept
slope of the line: m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are points of the line; replacing with data: m = (2320 - 1445)/(7 - 4.5) = 350;
To calculate y-intercept of the line, replace in the general formula with a known point and the slope:
y1 = m*x1 + b
1445 = 350*4.5 + b
b = 1445 - 350*4.5 = -130
linear equation: y = 350*x -130
For x = 11 hours, y = 350*11 -130 = 3720 pounds can be processed

15 minutes is equal to 0.25 hours
30 minutes is equal to 0.5 hours
x: number of 15 minute appointments
y: number of 30 minute appointments
x*0.25 <= 30
x <= 30/0.25
x <= 120
The doctor may have at most 120 appointments of 15 minutes each
x*0.5 <= 30
x <= 30/0.5
x <= 60
The doctor may have at most 60 appointments of 30 minutes each
