  1. Robotics EXAMPLE 6 Use a quadratic inequality as a model The number Tof teams that have participated in a robot-building competition for high school students can be modeled by T(x) = 7.51x2 –16.4x + 35.0, 0 ≤ x ≤ 9 Where x is the number of years since 1992. For what years was the number of teams greater than 100?

  2. ANSWER There were more than 100 teams participating in the years 1997–2001. EXAMPLE 6 Use a quadratic inequality as a model SOLUTION You want to find the values of xfor which: T(x) > 100 7.51x2 – 16.4x + 35.0 > 100 7.51x2 – 16.4x – 65 > 0 Graph y = 7.51x2 – 16.4x – 65 on the domain 0 ≤ x ≤ 9. The graph’s x-intercept is about 4.2. The graph lies above the x-axis when 4.2 < x ≤ 9.

  3. EXAMPLE 7 Solve a quadratic inequality algebraically Solve x2 – 2x > 15 algebraically. SOLUTION First, write and solve the equation obtained by replacing > with = . x2 – 2x = 15 Write equation that corresponds to original inequality. x2 – 2x – 15 = 0 Write in standard form. (x + 3)(x – 5) = 0 Factor. x = – 3 orx = 5 Zero product property

  4. (– 4)2–2(– 4) = 24 >15 62 –2(6) = 24 >15 12 –2(1) 5 –1 >15   ANSWER The solution is x < – 3 orx > 5. EXAMPLE 7 Solve a quadratic inequality algebraically The numbers – 3 and 5 are the critical x-values of the inequality x2 – 2x > 15. Plot – 3 and 5 on a number line, using open dots because the values do not satisfy the inequality. The critical x-values partition the number line into three intervals. Test an x-value in each interval to see if it satisfies the inequality. Test x = – 4: Test x = 1: Test x = 6:

  5. for Examples 6 and 7 GUIDED PRACTICE Robotics Use the information in Example 6 to determine in what years at least 200 teams participated in the robot-building competition. SOLUTION You want to find the values of xfor which: T(x) > 200 7.51x2 – 16.4x + 35.0 > 200 7.51x2 – 16.4x – 165 > 0

  6. ANSWER There were more than 200 teams participating in the years 1998 – 2001. for Examples 6 and 7 GUIDED PRACTICE Graph y = 7.51x2 – 16.4x – 165 on the domain 0 ≤ x ≤ 9.

  7. for Examples 6 and 7 GUIDED PRACTICE Solve the inequality 2x2 – 7x = 4 algebraically. SOLUTION First, write and solve the equation obtained by replacing > with 5. 2x2 – 7x = 4 Write equation that corresponds to original inequality. 2x2 – 7x –4= 0 Write in standard form. (2x + 1)(x – 4) = 0 Factor. x = – 0.5 orx = 4 Zero product property

  8. 5 – 2 0 1 2 3 4 6 – 6 – 7 – 3 – 1 – 5 7 – 4 2 (– 3)2 – 7 (– 3)> 4 2 (2)2 – 7 (2)> 4 2 (5)2 – 7 (3)> 4   ANSWER The solution is x < – 0.5 orx > 4. for Examples 6 and 7 GUIDED PRACTICE The numbers 4 and –0.5 are the critical x-values of the inequality 2x2 – 7x > 4 . Plot 4 and –0.5 on a number line, using open dots because the values do not satisfy the inequality. The critical x-values partition the number line into three intervals. Test an x-value in each interval to see if it satisfies the inequality. Test x = – 3: Test x = 2: Test x = 5:
