Answer Key
1. MAFS.912.A-CED.1.3 Represent constraints by equations or inequalities and by systems of equations and/or
inequalities, and interpret solutions as viable or nonviable options in a modeling context. For example, represent
inequalities describing nutritional and cost constraints on combinations of different foods. DOK 3
Let
be the number of bags of cookies sold and let
be the number of pies sold.
It is possible for the students to make at least $125 selling no more than 30 items, but only if they do not sell more
than 8 cookie bags.
2. MAFS.912.A-CED.1.2 Create equations in two or more variables to represent relationships between quantities;
graph equations on coordinate axes with labels and scales. DOK 2

Part D:
Part E: 13 medium pizzas
Part F: about 590 in.2
Part G: about $.08 per square inch

graph equations on coordinate axes with labels and scales DOK 2

9a + 4c = 43
4. MAFS.912.A-REI.3.6 Solve systems of linear equations exactly and approximately (e.g., with graphs), focusing
on pairs of linear equations in two variables DOK 1
Answer D
5. MAFS.912.F-IF.2.4 For a function that models a relationship between two quantities, interpret key features of
graphs and tables in terms of the quantities and sketch graphs showing key features given a verbal description of the
relationship. Key features include: intercepts; intervals where the function is increasing, decreasing, positive, or
negative; relative maximums and minimums; symmetries; end behavior; and periodicity. DOK 2
As
approaches negative infinity, both functions approach positive infinity.
As
approaches positive infinity, the function
approaches negative infinity, but the function
approaches positive infinity.
6. MAFS.912.A-CED.1.1 Create equations and inequalities in one variable and use them to solve problems. Include
equations arising from linear and quadratic functions and simple rational, absolute, and exponential functions. DOK 2
Let represent the distance in miles from the lake to the fire. Use the fact that distance divided by rate equals time to
write an inequality for the total time, 90 minutes, or 1.5 hours.
The fire is at most 220 miles from the lake.
7. MAFS.912.F-BF.1 Write a function that describes a relationship between two quantities.
a. Determine an explicit expression, a recursive process, or steps for calculation from a context.
b. Combine standard function types using arithmetic operations. For example, build a function that models the
temperature of a cooling body by adding a constant function to a decaying exponential, and relate these functions to
the model.
c. Compose functions. For example, if T(y) is the temperature in the atmosphere as a function of height and h(t) is the
height of a weather balloon as a function of time, then T(h(t)) is the temperature at the location of the weather balloon
as a function of time. DOK 2

Part C: The domain of

consists of all real numbers except x = 0.
8. MAFS.912.F-BF.2.3 Identify the effect on the graph of replacing f(x) by f(x) + k, kf(x), f(kx), and f(x + k) for
specific values of k (both positive and negative); find the value of k given the graphs. Experiment with cases and
illustrate an explanation of the effects on the graph using technology. Include recognizing even and odd functions
from their graphs and algebraic expressions for them DOK 3
Answer A
9. MAFS.912.A-APR.2.3 Identify zeros of polynomials when suitable factorizations are available, and use the zeros
to construct a rough graph of the function defined by the polynomial. DOK 1
MAFS.912.A-CED.1.2 Create equations in two or more variables to represent relationships between quantities; graph
equations on coordinate axes with labels and scales.
Part A: Sunshine Plumbing: c = 80h + 100; National Plumbing: c = 60h + 140
Part B:
Part C: National Plumbing is less expensive than Sunshine Plumbing when more than 2 hours of work are completed.
The graph of the lines intersect when h = 2, which means that the cost of using either plumber is the same when 2
hours of work is completed. When more than 2 hours of work is completed, the graph representing Sunshine
Plumbing is higher than the graph representing National Plumbing. Since the graph for Sunshine Plumbing is higher,
it means that it costs more.
10. MAFS.912.A-APR1.1 Understand that polynomials form a system analogous to the integers, namely, they are
closed under the operations of addition, subtraction, and multiplication; add, subtract, and multiply polynomials.
DOK 1
11. MAFS.912.A-APR.2.2 Know and apply the Remainder Theorem: For a polynomial p(x) and a number a, the
remainder on division by x – a is p(a), so p(a) = 0 if and only if (x – a) is a factor of p(x). DOK 1

12. MAFS.912.A-APR.2.3 Identify zeros of polynomials when suitable factorizations are available, and use the zeros

r(x)/b(x), where a(x), b(x), q(x), and r(x) are polynomials with the degree of r(x) less than the degree of b(x), using
inspection, long division, or, for the more complicated examples, a computer algebra system. DOK 2

Part B: x +
Part C: Stephen is correct. Even though 6x2 + 5x – 6 cannot be evenly divided by x + 1, the quotient can be expressed
with a remainder. The quotient is 6x – 1 –
