The graph of the function P(x) = −0.34x2 + 12x + 62 is shown. The function models the profits, P, in thousands of dollars for a tire company, where x is the number of tires produced, in thousands:

graph of a parabola opening down passing through points negative 4 and 57 hundredths comma zero, zero comma 62, 1 and 12 hundredths comma 75, 17 and 65 hundredths comma 167 and 55 hundredths, 34 and 18 hundredths comma 75, and 39 and 87 hundredths comma zero

If the company wants to keep its profits at or above $75,000, then which constraint is reasonable for the model?

−4.57 ≤ x ≤ 39.87
1.12 ≤ x ≤ 34.18
−4.57 ≤ x ≤ 1.12 and 34.18 ≤ x ≤ 39.87
0 ≤ x < 1.12 and 34.18 < x ≤ 39.87

Answer:

The other person is correct. This will keep the companies profit above 75,000, because 1.12 < x < 34.18 goes past 75,000, and does not allow the profit to become less than.
