A box is formed by cutting squares from the four corners of a sheet of paper and folding up the sides. The graph below shows how the volume of the box in cubic inches, V, is related to the length of the side of the square cutout in inches, x. Suppose the largest possible cutout length is 3.5 inches. Over what interval of xx does the volume of the box decrease as the cutout length gets larger? (Enter your answer as an interval.)

It costs a publishing company $60,001 in fixed costs and it costs $4.20 per book to produce them. The publisher sells the books for $10 each. What are the revenue and cost functions? Find and interpret the break-even point.
You are the manager of a firm. You are considering the manufacture of a new product, so you ask the accounting department for cost estimates and the sales department for sales estimates. After you receive the data, you must decide whether to go ahead with production of the new product. Analyze the data (find a break-even quantity) and then decide what you would do. Also write the profit function. C(x) = 70x + 500; R(x) = 60x (Hint: What does a negative break-even quantity mean?)

Determine whether the given statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning : "The function f(x) = (1.96x + 3.14)/(3.04x + 21.79), models the fraction of nonviolent prisoners in New York State prisons x years after 1980. I can conclude from this equation that over time the percentage of nonviolent prisoners will exceed 60%."
