Answer:
1. area of new pen = 11

2. i. 5 feet by 2
feet
ii. 2 ½ feet by 4 ½ feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The size of the pen as planned = 5 ft long by 4 ½ ft wide
Area of the pen = length x width
= 5 x 4 ½
= 5 x 
Area of the pen = 
= 22 ½ 
But, Krista has to make the pen ½ the size of planned. So that;
area of new pen = ½ x 22 ½
= ½ x 
= 
= 11 
area of new pen = 11

The area of the new pen would be 11
.
The possible values she could use are:
i. 5 feet by 2
feet
ii. 2 ½ feet by 4 ½ feet
Answer:
$15.63 ≤ x ≤ $54.365
Step-by-step explanation:
Profit of the phone company is modeled by the equation,
p(x) = -50x² + 3500x - 2500
For the profit of at least $40000,
-50x² + 3500x - 2500 ≥ 40000
-50x² + 3500x ≥ 40000 + 2500
-50x² + 3500x ≥ 42500
-x² + 70x ≥ 850
x² - 70x + 850 ≤ 0
By quadratic formula,
x - intercept of the inequality will be,
x = 
x = 
x = 15.635, 54.365
Therefore, $15.635 ≤ x ≤ $54.365 will be the range of cost for which profit will be at least $40000.
