What is the maximum value of P = 24x + 30y, given the constraints on x and y listed below?

A deli is offering two specials. The roast beef special gives a profit of $2.30 per sandwich, and the turkey special gives a profit of $3.10 per sandwich. The roast beef special uses two slices of bread and three slices of cheese. The turkey special uses two slices of bread and four slices of cheese. The deli has 120 slices of bread and 160 slices of cheese available for the specials. The deli wants to maximize its profit selling specials. Let x represent the number of roast beef specials and y represent the number of turkey specials. What are the constraints for the problem?

A company plans to sell pens for $2 each. The company’s financial planner estimates that the cost, y, of manufacturing the pens is a quadratic function with a y-intercept of 120 and a vertex of (250, 370). What is the minimum number of pens the company must sell to make a profit?

The vertex of a parabola that opens downward is at (0, 4). The vertex of a second parabola is at (0, –4). If the parabolas intersect at two points, which statement must be true?

An air show is scheduled for an airport located on a coordinate system measured in miles. The air traffic controllers have closed the airspace, modeled by a quadratic equation, to non-air show traffic. The boundary of the closed airspace starts at the vertex at (10, 6) and passes through the point (12, 7). A commuter jet has filed a flight plan that takes it along a linear path from (–18, 14) to (16, –13). Which system of equations can be used to determine whether the commuter jet’s flight path intersects the closed airspace?
