  1. A phone plan's free data balance, D in GB after t days is given by D = 30 0 - 2 5t where ‘t’ is the number of days since activation. a) Complete the table for t = 0, 1, ..., 10 and draw the graph. t 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 D b) What is the initial data balance? c) Find the remaining data after (i) 1 day, (ii) 6 days, (iii) 10 days. d) Find the gradient of the graph. e) What does the gradient represent?
  1. A user receives a fixed amount of movie credits, and each movie watched reduces the balance: C = 20 0 - 1 5t where C is credits remaining after watching t movies. a) Complete the table for t = 0, 1, ..., 10 and plot the graph. t 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 C b) What are the starting credits? c) Credits remaining after (i) 2 movies, (ii) 5 movies, (iii) 10 movies? d) Find the graph’s gradient.

e) Interpret the gradient’s meaning in this context.

  1. You buy a package of classes where each class attended reduces your credit: F = 15 - t where F is classes remaining after attending t classes. a) Complete the table for t = 0, 1, ..., 10, then draw the graph. t 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 F b) How many classes did you start with? c) Find credits after (i) 1 class, (ii) 6 classes, (iii) 10 classes. d) Find the gradient of the graph.
