Question

A cruise ship needs to book at least 2,052 passengers to be profitable, but the most passengers the ship can accommodate is 2,462. Model the numbers of passengers

that need to be booked to ensure the cruise line makes a profit, using a compound inequality. (1 point)
x≤ 2,052 and x ≤ 2,462
x≤ 2,052 and x ≥ 2,462
x2 2,052 and x s 2,462
x ≥ 2,052 and x ≥ 2,462

Answer 1

x ≥ 2,052 and x ≤ 2,462

Explanation:

[1] to be profitable:

at least meaning more or equals to → x ≥ 2,052

[2] maximum accommodation:

the most meaning less or equals to → x ≤ 2,462

[1] & [2]

x ≥ 2,052 and x ≤ 2,462
