Hello, I need help with my revision for algebra
This was the teachers message:
#2 - The only thing missing now is the "or equal to" that is on the symbol in the question.
#5 - Are you saying that there are only two prices that she can sell the scarves for, $5 or $20?
Revisions needed: #2, 5
This was the original question:
2. x^2- 8x + 12>0
5. Katie makes and sells scarves. Her monthly profit is given by P(s) = -s2+ 25s - 100, where "s" is the selling price. For what range of prices can Katie sell the scarves, in order to make a profit? (For what values of "s" will -s2+ 25s - 100 be greater than 0?)
This was my answer:
2.x28x+12>0. 2
Factoring
(x-2)(x-6)>0
If two terms are positive, they are greater than zero
(x-2)(x-6)>0x2>0andx6>0
x>2andx>6.
Two terms are greater than zero when they are negative:
(x2)(x6)<0x2<0andx6<0
x<2andx<6
The solution of this inequality is the unison of two solutions
(,2)(6,+) (x<2 or x>6)
5.P(s)=-s^2+25s-100>0
-s^2+25s-100>0
-s^2+20s+5s-100>0
-s(s-20)+5(s-20)>0
(-s+5)(s-20)>0 ;
Study each case:
Case 1: -s + 5 >0 and s-20 >0
Case 2: -s + 5 <0 and s-20 <0.
the interval of this solution from the inequality is(5,20)
Katie should sell her scarves either for 5 and 20 in order to make a profit.
