Estimate Function Values

A. ADVERTISING The function f (x) = –5x 2 + 50x

approximates the profit at a toy company, where x represents marketing costs and f (x) represents profit. Both costs and profits are measured in tens of thousands of dollars. Use the graph to estimate the profit when marketing costs are $30,000. Confirm your estimate algebraically.

Answer:

Estimate Function Values

$30,000 is three ten thousands. The function value at x = 3 appears to be about 100 ten thousands, so the total profit was about $1,000,000. To confirm this estimate algebraically, find f(3). f(3) = 5(3)2 + 50(3) = 105, or about $1,050,000. The graphical estimate of about $1,000,000 is reasonable.

Answer: $1,050,000

Estimate Function Values

$30,000 is three ten thousands. The function value at x = 3 appears to be about 100 ten thousands, so the total profit was about $1,000,000. To confirm this estimate algebraically, find f(3). f(3) = 5(3)2 + 50(3) = 105, or about $1,050,000. The graphical estimate of about $1,000,000 is reasonable.

PROFIT A-Z Toy Boat Company found the average price of its boats over a six month period. The average price for each boat can be represented by the polynomial function p (x) = –0.325x3 + 1.5x2 + 22, where x is the month, and 0 < x ≤ 6. Use the graph to estimate the average price of a boat in the fourth month. Confirm you estimate algebraically.

Find Domain and Range

Use the graph of f to find the domain and range of the function.

Find Domain and Range

Domain• The dot at (3, 3) indicates that the domain of

f ends at 3 and includes 3.• The arrow on the left side indicates that the graph will continue without bound.
