5, Let's apply our knowledge of functions and their inverses to a real world problem:
‘To make a long-distance call, your phone company charges $1.50 to make the connection, and an additional $0.10
for every minute that you are on the line once connected.
‘a. Write an equation for the price of a long-distance call, p, in terms of the length of the callin minutes, m:

b. When you get the phone bill, you see that your sister made a long-distance call that cost $2.75. How
Jong was she on the phone?

Think about how you solved part (b). Write an equation to determine m interms of p. (That is, how do
‘you calculate the length of a call based on its price?)
