Equations and Inequations

Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.

Linear Functions

A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.

Cycling When a cyclist pedals. he turns a gear, called a chainring. The angular velocity of the chainring will determine the linear speed at which the chain travels. The chain connects the chainring to a smaller gear, called a sprocket, winch is attached to the rear wheel (Figure 11). The angular velocity of the sprocket depends upon the linear speed of the chain. The sprocket and rear wheel rotate at the same rate, and the diameter of the rear wheel is 700 millimeters. The speed at which the cyclist travels is determined by the angular velocity of his rear wheel. Use this information to answer Problems 63 through 67. On level ground, a pro cyclist would use a larger chainring and a smaller sprocket. If he shifted to a 210-millimeter-diameter chainring and a 40-millimeter-diameter sprocket, how fast would he be traveling in kilometers per hour if he pedaled at a rate of 80 revolutions per minute?
