Example Question #1 : Interpret Function Parameters: Ccss.Math.Content.Hsf Le.B.5

A school's theater department spends $\$500$ to produce a certain play. If the play sells tickets for $\$10$ each what is the function P(t)

that represents the net profit of the play?

Possible Answers:

$P(t)=\$10t+\$500$

$P(t)=\$10-\$500t$

$P(t)=\$10t-\$500$

$P(t)=-\$10t+\$500$

$P(t)=-\$10t-\$500$

Correct answer:

$P(t)=\$10t-\$500$

Explanation:

This question tests one's ability to recognize parameters of a function and one's understanding of dealing with said parameters in the context of a problem.

For the purpose of Common Core Standards, interpret parameters in a linear or exponential function in terms of a context, falls within the Cluster B of interpret expressions for functions in terms of the situation they model concept (CCSS.Math.content.HSF.LE.B).

Knowing the standard and the concept for which it relates to, we can now do the step-by-step process to solve the problem in question.

Step 1: Identify the general function that describes the situation.

$\textup{Net Profit}=\textup{Ticket Sales Profit}-\textup{Production Costs}$

Recall that the ticket sales profit is the product of the price of the ticket and the number of tickets sold.

Step 2: Identify the known values.

$\\ \textup{Cost of Ticket}=\$10 \\ \textup{Production Costs}=\$500 \\ t=\textup{number of tickets sold} \\P(t)=\textup{Net Profit}$

Step 3: Substitute known values into general function to create P(t) .

$\\ \textup{Net Profit}=\textup{Ticket Sales Profit}-\textup{Production Costs} \\P(t)=\$10t-\$500$

Example Question #71 : Linear, Quadratic, & Exponential Models*
