In this problem, represents the sea level. Since Dominic is
feet below the surface (sea level), his current location is at
feet.
The same concept can be applied to Karen, who is at feet.
We need to find who is lower, or farther below . This means the answer is
.
Answer:
0 ≤ x < 1.12 and 34.18 < x ≤ 39.87
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> is the number of tires produced, in thousands
C(x) ---> the production cost, in thousands of dollars
we have
This is a vertical parabola open downward (the leading coefficient is negative)
The vertex represent a maximum
The graph in the attached figure
we know that
Looking at the graph
For the interval [0,1.12) ----->
The value of C(x) ---->
That means ----> The production cost is under $75,000
For the interval (34.18,39.87] ----->
The value of C(x) ---->
That means ----> The production cost is under $75,000
Remember that the variable x (number of tires) cannot be a negative number
therefore
If the company wants to keep its production costs under $75,000 a reasonable domain for the constraint x is
0 ≤ x < 1.12 and 34.18 < x ≤ 39.87
