The table shows the estimated number of pounds of summer flounder harvested in North Carolina
each year from 1992–1998. Let y = f(x) represent the number of flounder (in millions of pounds) and
x represent the years. What is the independent variable?

The magnitude of an earthquake, measured on the Richter scale, is given by R(I) = log I
I0, where I is
the amplitude registered on a seismograph located 100 km from the epicenter of the earthquake,
and I0 is the amplitude of a certain small size earthquake. Find the Richter scale rating of an
earthquake with an amplitude of 630,957 I0.
log (x + 4) = log (2x + 1)

units of coverage cost?
Solve the equation. Round decimal answers to the nearest thousandth.
Sue wants to put a rectangular garden on her property using 68 meters of fencing. There is a river
that runs through her property so she decides to increase the size of the garden by using the river as
one side of the rectangle. (Fencing is then needed only on the other three sides.) Let x represent the
length of the side of the rectangle along the river. Express the garden’s area as a function of x.
