Question

The value of a company’s stock is represented by the expression x2 – 2y and the company’s purchases are modeled by 2x + 5y. The company’s goal is to maintain a stock value of at least $6,000, while keeping the purchases below $2,000. Which system of inequalities represents this scenario?

A.) x2 – 2y ≥ 6000
2x + 5y < 2000

b.) x2 – 2y > 6000
2x + 5y < 2000

C.) x2 – 2y > 6000
2x + 5y ≤ 2000

D.) x2 – 2y ≤ 6000
2x + 5y ≤ 2000

Answer 1

the answer is A

Explanation:

Given x2-2y= stock value

and

2x+5y= purchases

stock value must stay at or more than 6000

while purchases must stay under 2000
