Question

The value of a company’s stock is represented by the expression x2 – 2y and the company’s purchases are modeled by 2x + 5y. The company’s goal is to maintain a stock value of at least $7,000, while keeping the purchases below $1,000. Which system of inequalities represents this scenario?

Answer 1

x2 – 2y > 7000 A
2x + 5y < 1000

x2 – 2y ≥ 7000 B
2x + 5y < 1000

x2 – 2y > 7000
2x + 5y ≤ 1000 C

x2 – 2y ≤ 7000 D
2x + 5y ≤ 1000
