With Word Problems…

Read the question (without trying to solve anything!)Mark important information (highlight, underline, circle, etc.)Define your variables, if neededDraw a picture to help you visualize!Write your equation, if neededSolve the equation for each variableAnswer the question.Reread the question to make sure you have answered it.

Volume

Samantha knows the volume of a box is 70 in3. It can be modeled by the expression . Determine the box’s length, width, and height in terms of x, then tell the box’s exact dimensions.

GardeningDustin is creating a garden in his backyard. Dustin wants the length of his garden bed to be seven yards more than twice the width of the bed. Bill also wants to create a border around the garden that is 2 yards wide.

What is the expression to represent the area of the gray border surrounding the garden bed? If the total area of the gray area is 80 square yards, what is the value of x? What is the area of the total garden?

Extinction A species of animal is introduced to a small island. Suppose the

population of the species is represented by , where t is the time in years. Determine when the population becomes zero.

Parasites A population of parasites in an experiment can be modeled by , where t is the time in

days.

Use factoring by grouping to determine the values of t for which f(t)=0

At what times does the population reach zero?

Are there any values of t that are unreasonable? Explain.
