Question

The graph shows the annual profits of a company from 2006 to 2013.

Write a compound inequality that represents the annual profits P (in millions of dollars) from 2006 to 2013.

Answer 1

Using inequality concepts, the compound inequality is given by:

$50 \leq P \leq 90$

------------------

• An inequality is said to be compounded if it includes two terms, for example:

$a \leq x \leq b$

• Which has the following interpretation: x is more than a and x is less than b.

------------------

• From the graph, the minimum profit, in millions of dollars, was of 50, in 2009.
• The maximum profit was of 90, in 2012.
• From this, a compound inequality can be written, that the profit is more than 50 and less than 90, thus:

$50 \leq P \leq 90$
