20 The students in a science class constructed bridges made from toothpicks and glue. Each bridge was made
following these rules:

Each bridge used the same number of toothpicks.

The width of each bridge was the same.

The length of each bridge could vary.

Students recorded the maximum number of pennies each bridge could hold in a cup hanging from the center
of the bridge before breaking. They called this number the breaking weight.

The function f(x) = −6x + 136 represents the breaking weight of the pennies, f(x), in terms of bridge length,
x.

What is the change of the breaking weight of the pennies for each increase in one unit of the length of the
bridge?

33 The students in a high school environmental club are trying to raise community awareness of a recycling
program for old cell phones. Janine, a member of the club, created a website that members of the
community can view to get more information a bout the program. The number of times that the website is
viewed each day is recorded as a hit. On day 1, the website received 2 hits, and on day 3 the website received
8 hits.

Part A
Based on the data from days 1 and 3, Janine claims that the number of hits, h on day d can be modeled by an
exponential function. What is the number of hits predicted on day 6 by an exponential model?

Enter your answer in the box.

Part B
Raul is also a member of the environmental club. He disagrees with Janine and claims that the number of
hits each can be modeled by a linear function.
Select from the drop-down menus to complete the sentence.

On day 2, the number of hits predicted by a linear model is

(greater than, less than, equal to)
the number of hits predicted by the exponential model. On day 4, the number of hits predicted by a linear

model is (greater than, less than, equal to) the number of hits predicted by the
exponential model.
