Summer Worksheet for students entering AP Calculus AB
This worksheet is due at the beginning of class on the first day of school. It will be graded on accuracy.
You must show all work to earn credit. You may work together with other students but each must turn in
his/her own sheet. Please refer to your old Honors Precalculus or Precalculus notes. Email any questions
to me at [email protected]
Be sure to round all decimal answers to 3 decimal places.
1. Find the equations of lines (in slope-intercept form) passing through (-1,4) and having the following
characteristics
a. Passing through the point ( -4, -7)
b. Perpendicular to 2x – 3y = 5

d. Parallel to the x-axis
2. The velocity of sound in dry air increases as the temperature increases. At 40oC, sound travels at a rate
of about 355 meters per second. At 49oC it travels at a rate of about 360 meters per second.
a. Write a linear equation, in slope-intercept form, for the velocity v of sound as a function of the
temperature T.
b. Use this equation to find the velocity of sound at 60oC.
3. In 1998, the product was worth $20,600. The value is expected to decrease in value $1500 per year
during the next 5 years. Use this information to write a linear equation that gives the dollar value V of the
product in terms of the year t. ( Let t = 8 represent 1998)

$1.30.
a. Find linear equations for hourly wages W in terms of x, the number of units produced per hour, for
each of the options.
b. Algebraically, find the point of intersection.
