2) If 𝑦 varies inversely as 𝑥, and 𝑦 = 3 when 𝑥 = 18.
a) Find 𝑦 when 𝑥 = 2. b) Find 𝑥 when 𝑦 = 9.
3) For the function, analyze the graph by finding any x-intercepts (zeros), y-intercepts, vertical asymptotes, horizontal
asymptotes. Then, using that information and a graphing calculator, sketch a graph of the function.

12) Mark can construct a shed in 19 hours. If Mark works with his friend Eve, they can construct the shed in 13 hours.
Determine how long it would take Eve to construct the shed if she works by herself? Round to the nearest tenth.
13) A boat can travel 27 𝑚𝑖 upstream in the same time it takes to travel 40 𝑚𝑖 downstream. If the speed of the
current is 7 𝑚𝑝ℎ, find the speed of the boat in still water. Round to the nearest tenth.
