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

a)
b)
Plot the points in the Cartesian plane. Is the relation a function? Why?
The monthly revenue R achieved by selling
x wristwatches is figured to be The monthly cost C of selling x wristwatches is
(a) How many wristwatches 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 wristwatches 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.
In Problems 4 and 5, determine whether the function is linear or nonlinear. If the function is linear, find the equation of the line.
