2.8.1

Kate, Luke, Mary and Nancy are sharing a cake. The cake had previously been divided into four slices (s1, s2, s3 and s4). The following table shows the values of the slices in the eyes of each player. What is fair share to nancy?      S1 S2 S3 S4 Kate $4.00 $6.00 $6.00 $4.00 Luke $5.30 $5.00 $5.25 $5.45 Mary $4.25 $4.50 $3.50 $3.75 Nancy $6.00 $4.00 $4.00 $6.00

Kate, Luke, Mary and Nancy are sharing a cake. The cake had previously been divided into four slices (s1, s2, s3 and s4). The following table shows the values of the slices in the eyes of each player. What is the threshold of fair share for Luke?    S1 S2 S3 S4 Kate $4.00 $6.00 $6.00 $4.00 Luke $5.30 $5.00 $5.25 $5.45 Mary $4.25 $4.50 $3.50 $3.75 Nancy $6.00 $4.00 $4.00 $6.00

2. A microwave manufacturing firm has determined that their profit function is P(x)=-0.0014x+0.3x²+6x-355 , where is the number of microwaves sold annually. a. Graph the profit function using a calculator. b. Determine a reasonable viewing window for the function. c. Approximate all of the zeros of the function using the CALC menu of your calculator. d. What must be the range of microwaves sold in order for the firm to profit?

A clothing manufacturer's profitability can be modeled by p (x)=-x4 + 40x² - 144, where .x is the number of items sold in thousands and p (x) is the company's profit in thousands of dollars. a. Sketch the function on your calculator and describe the end behavior. b. Determine the zeros of the function. c. Between what two values should the company sell in order to be profitable? d. Explain why only two of the zeros are considered in part c.

CCSS REASONING The number of subscribers using pagers in the United States can be modeled by f(x) = 0.015x4 -0.44x³ +3.46x² - 2.7x+9.68 where x is the number of years after 1990 and f(x) is the number of subscribers in millions. a. Graph the function. b. Describe the end behavior of the graph. c. What does the end behavior suggest about the number of pager subscribers? d. Will this trend continue indefinitely? Explain your reasoning.

Can you help me solve this?
