61. The price of a stock, A(x), over a 12-month<br />

period decreased and then increased<br />

according to the equation<br />

2<br />

Ax ( ) = 075 . x − 6x+<br />

20,<br />

where x equals the<br />

number of months. The price of another<br />

stock, B(x), increased according to the<br />

equation Bx ( ) = 275 . x+<br />

150 . over the same<br />

12-month period. Graph and label both<br />

equations on the accompanying grid. State all<br />

prices, to the nearest dollar, when both stock<br />

values were the same.<br />

63. The coordinates of quadrilateral ABCD are<br />

A(-1,-5), B(8,2), C(11,13), and D(2,6). Using<br />

coordinate geometry, prove that quadrilateral<br />

ABCD is a rhombus. [The use of the grid is<br />

optional.]<br />

62. On the accompanying grid, solve the<br />

following system of equations graphically:<br />

2<br />

y =− x + 2x+<br />

1<br />

x<br />

y = 2<br />

64. An electronics company produces a<br />

headphone set that can be adjusted to<br />

accommodate different-sized heads. Research<br />

into the distance between the top of people's<br />

heads and the top of their ears produced the<br />

following data, in inches:<br />

4.5, 4.8, 6.2, 5.5, 5.6, 5.4, 5.8, 6.0, 5.8, 6.2,<br />

4.6, 5.0, 5.4, 5.8<br />

The company decides to design their<br />

headphones to accommodate three standard<br />

deviations from the mean. Find, to the nearest<br />

tenth, the mean, the standard deviation, and<br />

the range of distances that must be<br />

accommodated.
