A local business is looking to become a franchise. The company wants to predict
the number of franchises, F, given a certain number of years, Y. This prediction is
modeled by the function F( Y). What can be concluded by F(5) = 10?

A bank begins a marketing campaign to increase its number of customers. Each
month, all new customers are put into a drawing. One customer then receives a
$50 credit in a checking account.The amount of money given away in the
drawing, G, is a function of the number of months, M, the drawing has been
going on for. What is the correct function notation to represent the amount of
money given away after the drawing has been going on for 5 months?
G(5) = 250

A company has developed two functions, L( t) and M( t), that determine the
least amount and most amount, respectively, of revenue it will make in any
given month in dollars (with t = 1 corresponding to January). What can the
company reasonably conclude if L(2) = 3,000 and M(2) = 5,000?
In February, it will make between $3,000 and $5,000.
A server at a restaurant has realized that tips, T, in dollars are related to the
number of hours, h, that have been worked on any given day. Tips can be
modeled by the function T( h) = X. How can this function be interpreted?
If the server works h hours, the tips will be $ X.
A company pays its employees a base salary each month plus a commission, C,
based on the number of sales, s, made by an employee during the month. An

decline of the Dow Jones average in history.The function f represents a seven-
month period during which Black Monday occurred. The function value f(1)
represents the Dow Jones average in June of 1987. Which function value
represents the Dow Jones average during the month when Black Monday
occurred?
f(5)
The unemployment rate in Poland for the time period from 1990 to 2012 is
shown in the graph below using the function U( t) (measured as a percentage),
