Question

Mario has a business selling muffins. Let x be the price of a muffin. Then, the profit P for Mario’s business is given by p(x)=-100x2+350x-150 Choose the inequality that shows the business will make a positive profit.

Answer 1

The first question's answer is:

0<-100x^2+350x-150

The second question "Look at the factorization shown below.

0 < –100x2 + 350x – 150

0 < –50(2x2 – 7x + 3)

0 < –50(2x – 1)(x – 3)

Select the range that Mario can choose from to price his muffins and make a positive profit.

The answer is:

$0.50 < x < $3.00
