Question 1

Aretailer that n games can be sold in a month at a price of 20-0.1n dollars per game. Assume that he buys each game for $13, and sells every one that he buys. if he whishes to make a profit of at least $100 per month on sales of this game, how many games must he sell each month?
A) $$0 \leq n \leq 20$$
B) $$20 \leq n \leq 50$$
C) $$20 \leq n \leq 70$$
D) $$25 \leq n \leq 35$$

Accepted Answer

To find the number of games (n) the retailer must sell to make at least $100 profit, we first determine the profit per game, then find the total profit, and solve for n. The selling price per game is $20-0.1n, and the cost is $13, so the profit per game is $(20-0.1n) - $13 = $7-0.1n. The total profit for n games is n($7-0.1n). Setting this equal to $100 (the minimum desired profit) gives us the equation n($7-0.1n) = $100. Simplifying, we get $7n - 0.1n^2 = $100. Rearranging, we get $0.1n^2 - 7n + 100 = 0. Solving this quadratic equation for n gives us the range of n that satisfies the profit requirement. The correct range that meets the condition for a profit of at least $100 is 20 ≤ n ≤ 50.

Question 3

Assume that the elevation E , in feet, of a sag in a proposed route is given by $E ( x ) = 0.000039 x ^ { 2 } - 0.25 x + 1300$ where x represents the horizontal distance in feet along the proposed route and$$0 \leq x \leq 5000$$ .

Question 4

The cost  C  of producing  t  units is given by $C ( t ) = 3 t ^ { 2 } + 7 t$ and the revenue  R  generated from selling  t  units is given by $R ( t ) = 4 t ^ { 2 } + t$. For what values of  t  will there be a profit?
A) $t > 8$
B) $t > 6$
C)$t > 0$
D) $t > 7$

Accepted Answer

Profit occurs when revenue exceeds cost, so we set $R(t) > C(t)$ and solve for $t$. This gives $4t^2 + t > 3t^2 + 7t$, simplifying to $t^2 - 6t > 0$, which factors to $t(t - 6) > 0$. This inequality is satisfied for $t > 6$.

Question 5

Assume that the profit P made when t units are sold, $t > 0$, is given by $P ( t ) = t ^ { 2 } - 18 t + 72$ For what values of t will there be a profit (that is, $\mathrm { P } > 0 )$? A) t=18 B) $6 < t < 12$ C) t=6 or t=12 D) $0 < t < 6 \text { or } t > 12$

Accepted Answer

The profit is positive when $P(t) > 0$. Factoring, we get $P(t) = (t - 6)(t - 12)$. So, the profit is positive when $6 < t < 12$ or $t > 12$.

Question 6

The Fahrenheit temperature,  F , in Siber City in October ranges from  $71 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { F } \text { to } 43 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { F }$.  Write an absolute value inequality whose solution is this range.
A) $| \mathrm { F } - 57 | < 14$
B) $| \mathrm { F } | < 71$
C) $| F | > 43$
D) $| \mathrm { F } - 14 | < 57$

Accepted Answer

The correct absolute value inequality is $| \mathrm { F } - 57 | < 14$. This is because the average of the maximum and minimum temperatures (71 and 43) is 57, and the difference between the average and either the maximum or minimum temperature is 14. This inequality represents all temperatures within 14 degrees of 57, which matches the given range.

Question 7

Assume that the profit P made when t units are sold, $t > 0$ is given by $P ( t ) = t ^ { 2 } - 28 t + 180$ For what values of t will there be a loss (that is, $\mathrm { P } < 0 \}$ ? A) t=10 or t=18 B) $0 < \mathrm { t } < 10 \text { or } \mathrm { t } > 18$ C) $10 < t < 18$ D) $t > 0$

Accepted Answer

To determine when there is a loss, we need to find when $P(t) < 0$. Factoring the quadratic equation $P(t) = t^2 - 28t + 180$, we get $(t-10)(t-18) < 0$. This inequality is true for $t$ values between 10 and 18, hence $10 < t < 18$.

Question 8

Assume that from 1930 to 1980 , the number of deaths from lead poisoning (per 100,000 people) decreased dramatically and could be modeled by $\mathrm { f } ( \mathrm { x } ) = - 0.0148 \mathrm { x } ^ { 2 } + 54.2 \mathrm { x } - 49,200$, where $\mathrm { x }$ is the year. Determine when, to the nearest year, this death rate was 150 or less by graphing $\mathrm { y } = \mathrm { f } ( \mathrm { x } )$ and $\mathrm { y } = 150$ in $[ 1930,1980,10 ]$ by $[ 0,200$, 25 ].
A) 1960 or after
B) 1973 or after
C) 1964 or after
D) 1967 or after

Accepted Answer

The function $ f(x) $ represents a quadratic equation, and by graphing it along with $ y = 150 $, we find that the death rate was 150 or less starting in 1967.

Question 9

A rectangular enclosure must have an area of at least 2400yd² . If 220yd of fencing is to be used, and the width cannot exceed the length, within what limits must the width of the enclosure lie? A) $0 \mathrm { yd } \leq \text { width } \leq 30 \mathrm { yd }$ B) $30 \mathrm { yd } \leq \text { width } \leq 80 \mathrm { yd }$ C) $55 \mathrm { yd } \leq \text { width } \leq 80 \mathrm { yd }$ D) $30 \mathrm { yd } \leq \text { width } \leq 55 \mathrm { yd }$

Accepted Answer

The perimeter of the rectangle is 2(length + width) = 220 yards, so length + width = 110 yards. Since the area is length * width ≥ 2400 square yards and width cannot exceed length, the width must be at least 30 yards to ensure the area is at least 2400 square yards (since 30*80 = 2400 and 30+80=110). The maximum width is when width equals length, so width = 110/2 = 55 yards. Therefore, the width must lie between 30 and 55 yards.

Question 10

The height  h  of a ball thrown is given by $h ( x ) = 2 x - 0.08 x ^ { 2 }$ where  x  is the horizontal distance traveled and both measurements are in feet. At what horizontal distances will the height of the ball be more than  9 ft  ? (Round distances to the nearest tenth of a foot, if necessary.)
A) $0 \mathrm { ft } < \mathrm { x } < 5.9 \mathrm { ft } \text { or } 19.1 \mathrm { ft } < \mathrm { x } < 25 \mathrm { ft }$
B) $0 \mathrm { ft } < \mathrm { x } < 19.1 \mathrm { ft }$
C) $5.9 \mathrm { ft } < \mathrm { x } < 25 \mathrm { ft }$
D) $5.9 \mathrm { ft } < \mathrm { x } < 19.1 \mathrm { ft }$

Accepted Answer

The quadratic equation $h(x) = 2x - 0.08x^2$ is set to be greater than 9 to find the range of x. Solving $2x - 0.08x^2 > 9$ gives the interval $5.9 \mathrm{ft} < x < 19.1 \mathrm{ft}$.

Question 16

A coin is tossed upward from a balcony 390 ft high (h₀) with an initial velocity (v₀) of 16 ft/sec , according to the formula $h ( t ) = - 16 t ^ { 2 } + v _ { 0 } t + h 0$. where t is time in seconds. During what interval of time will the coin be at a height of at least 70 ft ? A) $4 \sec \leq t \leq 5 \mathrm { sec }$ B) $0 \mathrm { sec } \leq \mathrm { t } \leq 5 \mathrm { sec }$ C) $5 \mathrm { sec } \leq \mathrm { t } \leq 10 \mathrm { sec }$ D) $0 \sec \leq t \leq 1 \mathrm { sec }$

Accepted Answer

To find the interval of time when the coin is at least 70 ft high, we substitute $h(t) = 70$ into the given formula and solve for $t$. The equation becomes $70 = -16t^2 + 16t + 390$. Rearranging gives $16t^2 - 16t - 320 = 0$, which simplifies to $t^2 - t - 20 = 0$. Factoring or using the quadratic formula yields two time values, which represent the times when the coin is exactly 70 ft high during its ascent and descent. The interval between these times, including the initial toss and the moment it reaches 70 ft on its way down, covers from $0 \sec$ to approximately $5 \sec$, indicating the coin is at or above 70 ft within this time frame.

Question 17

If a rocket is propelled upward from ground level, its height  h  in meters after  t  sec is given by  h(t)=$- 9.8 \mathrm { t } ^ { 2 } + 98 \mathrm { t }$ During what interval of time will the rocket be higher than  205.8 m  ?
A) $0 \mathrm { sec } < \mathrm { t } < 7 \mathrm { sec }$
B) $3 \mathrm { sec } < \mathrm { t } < 7 \mathrm { sec }$
C) $0 \mathrm { sec } < \mathrm { t } < 3 \mathrm { sec }$
D) $6 \mathrm { sec } < \mathrm { t } < 10 \mathrm { sec }$

Accepted Answer

To find when the rocket is higher than 205.8 m, we set $h(t) > 205.8$ and solve for $t$. Substituting $h(t) = -9.8t^2 + 98t$, we get $-9.8t^2 + 98t > 205.8$. Rearranging, we have $-9.8t^2 + 98t - 205.8 > 0$. Solving this quadratic inequality for $t$, we find the time interval where the rocket's height exceeds 205.8 m is between 3 and 7 seconds.
