Finding Inequalities Each of Exercises S-1 through S-4 poses a question that can be answered by solving an inequality. State the appropriate inequality. Note that you are not asked to solve the inequality.
Two Investments The value of investment number 1 is given by
The value of investment number 2 is given by
Both B1 and B2 are measured in dollars, and t is time, in years. The time period when investment number 2 has a balance at least as large as investment number 1 is given by an inequality. Find that inequality.

The graphs cross twice.arrow_forwardSolving Inequalities Solve the inequalities in Exercises S-5 through S-19. x3x Be careful. The graphs cross three times.arrow_forwardCONCEPTS a To solve the equation 2x+1=-x+4 graphically, we graph the functions fx=_ and gx=_ on the same set of axes and determine the values of x at which the graphs of f and g intersect. Graph f and g below, and use the graphs to solve the equation. The solution is x=_. b To solve the inequality 2x+1-x+4 graphically, we graph the functions fx=_ and gx=_ on the same set of axes and find the values of x at which the graph of g is _ higher/lower than the graph of f. From the graphs in part a we see that the solution of the inequality is the interval _,_.arrow_forward

- Practise Solve each problem. Computer sales A computer store has fixed costs of 8925 per month and a unit cost of 850 for every computer it sells. If the store can sell all the computers it can get for 1275 each, how many must be sold for the store to break even? Hint: The break-even point occurs when costs equal income.arrow_forwardRenting versus buying a photocopier A certain office can purchase a photocopier for 5800 with a maintenance fee of 25 a month. On the other hand, they can rent the photocopier for 95 a month including maintenance. If they purchase a photocopier, each copy would cost 3; if they rent, the copy is 6 per copy. The office estimates that they make 8000 copies a month. a Find a formula for the cost C of purchasing and using the copier for n months. b Find a formula for the cost C of renting and using the copier for n months. c Make a table of the cost of each method for 1 year to 6 years of use, in 1-year increments. d After how many moths of use would the cost be the same for each method?arrow_forward(a) Choosing an appropriate viewing rectangle, graph following function and find all its x-intercepts and local extrema, round to two decimals.
