### Post Test: Relationships Between Functions

#### Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu.

A local movie theater is trying to find the best price at which to sell popcorn. To reach its goal of making at least [tex]\$50{,}000[/tex] from popcorn sales this year, the theater decided to hire a consulting firm to analyze its business.

The firm determined that the best-case scenario for the theater's revenue generated from popcorn sales, while meeting its revenue goals, is given by the system of inequalities, where [tex]r[/tex] represents the revenue in tens of thousands of dollars and [tex]p[/tex] represents the sale price of popcorn in dollars.

[tex]
\begin{array}{l}
r \leq -0.23p^2 + 2.25p \\
r \geq 5
\end{array}
[/tex]

Complete the statements about the system's possible solutions.
The point [tex](4, 6)[/tex] is [tex]\square[/tex] of this system.
The point [tex](6, 5)[/tex] is [tex]\square[/tex] of this system.

Answer :

Let's analyze the given situation and find the appropriate answers for each point in the context of the system of inequalities provided.

We have two inequalities that define the system:
1. [tex]\( r \leq -0.23 p^2 + 2.25 p \)[/tex]
2. [tex]\( r \geq 5 \)[/tex]

These inequalities represent the revenue [tex]\( r \)[/tex] in tens of thousands of dollars (i.e., [tex]\( r = 5 \)[/tex] represents [tex]\(\$ 50,000\)[/tex]) and the price of popcorn [tex]\( p \)[/tex] in dollars. The goal is to identify whether the given points satisfy both inequalities.

### Point (4, 6)
For the point [tex]\((4, 6)\)[/tex]:
- [tex]\( p = 4 \)[/tex]
- Calculating [tex]\( r \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ r = -0.23 (4)^2 + 2.25 (4) = -0.23 (16) + 9 = -3.68 + 9 = 5.32 \][/tex]
- Check if [tex]\( r \leq 6 \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ 5.32 \leq 6 \quad (\text{True}) \][/tex]
- Check if [tex]\( r \geq 5 \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ 5.32 \geq 5 \quad (\text{True}) \][/tex]

Thus, the point [tex]\( (4, 6) \)[/tex] satisfies both inequalities.

### Point (6, 5)
For the point [tex]\((6, 5)\)[/tex]:
- [tex]\( p = 6 \)[/tex]
- Calculating [tex]\( r \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ r = -0.23 (6)^2 + 2.25 (6) = -0.23 (36) + 13.5 = -8.28 + 13.5 = 5.22 \][/tex]
- Check if [tex]\( r \leq 5 \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ 5.22 \leq 5 \quad (\text{False}) \][/tex]
- Check if [tex]\( r \geq 5 \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ 5.22 \geq 5 \quad (\text{True}) \][/tex]

However, since the first inequality is not satisfied, the point [tex]\( (6, 5) \)[/tex] does not meet the conditions of the system.

In summary:
- The point [tex]\((4, 6)\)[/tex] is a solution of this system.
- The point [tex]\((6, 5)\)[/tex] is not a solution of this system.
