Solve the Problem $\mathrm { f } _ { 1 } ( \mathrm { x } ) = - \mathrm { x } ^ { 2 } + 100 \mathrm { x } ; \mathrm { f } _ { 2 } ( \mathrm { x } ) = 85 \mathrm { x }$

question 205

Multiple Choice

Solve the problem.
-The following information pertains to a bakery which makes donuts.


Make a scatterplot of the data. Then graph the following two functions on the same coordinate system: $\mathrm { f } _ { 1 } ( \mathrm { x } ) = - \mathrm { x } ^ { 2 } + 100 \mathrm { x } ; \mathrm { f } _ { 2 } ( \mathrm { x } ) = 85 \mathrm { x }$ . Decide which function best models the data, and then use that function to estimate the profit associated with making 35 cases of donuts.

• A) \(\mathrm { f } _ { 2 }\); Profit for 35 cases is \(\$ 2975\).
• B) \(\mathrm { f } _ { 1 }\); Profit for 35 cases is \(\$ 2275\).
• C) \(\mathrm { f } _ { 1 }\); Profit for 35 cases is \(\$ 2625\).
• D) \(\mathrm { f } _ { 2 }\); Profit for 35 cases is \(\$ 3525 .\)
