You can put this solution on YOUR website! Linear: It cost 10 cents to set up Lucy's lemonade business. It costs
her 2 cents to make a glass of lemonade. What is her cost to make
50 glasses of lemonade?
Cost(x) = 10 + 2x

Quadratic: The path of a baseball hit from 3' above the ground with
a velocity of 50 ft/sec is y = -16t^2+50t+3
How far from home plate will the ball hit the ground?

Cubic: A box is x inches wide, 2x inches long, and 3x inches high.
