In problems 3-6, use the figure to solve each inequality.

a)
b)
Graph the function by starting with the graph of and using transformations (shifting, compressing, stretching, and/or reflection). Verify your results using a graphing utility.
If the independent variable in a line of best fit is credit score, and the dependent variable is the interest rate on a used car loan, then the slope is interpreted as “if credit score increases by point, the interest rate will (increase/decrease) by percent, on average.
Find a quadratic function whose x-intercepts are -4 and 2 and whose range is
The daily revenue R achieved by selling x boxes of candy is figured to be The daily cost C of selling x boxes of candy is .
(a) How many boxes of candy must the firm sell to maximize revenue? What is the maximum revenue?
(b) Profit is given as P(x) = R(x) - C(x). What is the profit function?
(c) How many boxes of candy must the firm sell to maximize profit? What is the maximum profit?
(d) Provide a reasonable explanation as to why the answers found in parts (a) and (c) differ. Explain why a quadratic function is a reasonable model for revenue.
