Graph the solution to each set of inequalities.

  1. left brace . table with 2 rows and 1 column , row1 column 1 , y less than negative 3 , x squared , plus 1 , row2 column 1 , y greater than , x squared , minus x minus 5 , end table
  2. left brace . table with 2 rows and 1 column , row1 column 1 , y less than 3 , x squared , plus 2 x plus 1 , row2 column 1 , y greater than 2 , x squared , minus x plus 1 , end table
  3. left brace . table with 2 rows and 1 column , row1 column 1 , y greater than , x squared , minus 5 x plus 4 , row2 column 1 , y greater than , x squared , plus 3 x plus 2 , end table
  4. Error Analysis A classmate graphed the system of inequalities and concluded that because the shaded regions do not intersect, there are no solutions to the system. Describe and correct the error.

    left brace . table with 2 rows and 1 column , row1 column 1 , y less than or equal to , x squared , minus 4 x plus 6 , row2 column 1 , y greater than or equal to , x squared , minus 4 x plus 2 , end table

  7. Business A company's weekly revenue R is given by the formula r equals negative , p squared , plus 30 p comma  where p is the price of the company's product. The company is considering hiring a distributor, which will cost the company 4 p plus 25  per week.
    1. Use a system of equations to find the values of the price p for which the product will still remain profitable if they hire this distributor.
    2. Which value of p will maximize the profit after including the distributor cost?

Solve each system.

  1. left brace . table with 2 rows and 1 column , row1 column 1 , y equals 5 , x squared , plus 9 x plus 4 , row2 column 1 , y equals negative 5 x plus 3 , end table
  2. left brace . table with 2 rows and 1 column , row1 column 1 , y equals negative 7 , x squared , minus 9 x plus 6 , row2 column 1 , y equals , 1 half , x plus 11 , end table
  3. left brace . table with 2 rows and 1 column , row1 column 1 , y equals , x squared , plus 3 x plus 6 , row2 column 1 , y equals negative x plus 2 , end table
  4. left brace . table with 2 rows and 1 column , row1 column 1 , y equals negative 4 , x squared , plus 7 x plus 1 , row2 column 1 , y equals 3 x plus 2 , end table
  5. Reasoning Sketch the graphs of y equals 2 , x squared , plus 4 x minus 5  and y equals , x squared , plus 2 x minus 3 .  Change these equations into inequalities so the system has solutions that comprise:
    1. two non-overlapping regions
    2. one bounded region

Solve the systems by graphing. For each system indicate one point in the solution set.

  1. left brace . table with 2 rows and 1 column , row1 column 1 , y less than , x squared , minus 1 , row2 column 1 , y greater than 3 , x squared , minus 3 , end table
  2. left brace . table with 2 rows and 1 column , row1 column 1 , y greater than , x squared , row2 column 1 , y less than negative , x squared , plus 1 , end table
  3. left brace . table with 2 rows and 1 column , row1 column 1 , y greater than . open , x minus 3 , close squared . plus 4 , row2 column 1 , y less than negative . open , x minus 3 , close squared . plus 5 , end table

C Challenge
