A small organic food store makes two types of fruit smoothies: tropical and sport. Each tropical smoothie uses 9 oz of orange juice and 6 oz of milk. Each sport smoothie uses 3 oz of orange juice and 3 oz of milk. The store buys the orange juice in a 210-oz container and milk in a 150-oz container. The store sells the tropical smoothies for $4 and sells the sport smoothie for $3. What is the maximum in smoothie sales the store can make from 1 container each of orange juice and milk?

What is the solution to the following system?

Which statement describes the system of equations?

Which point is a solution of x2 + y2 > 49 and y ≤ –x2 – 4?

Which statement describes the solution to the system of equations?

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?

Which graph shows the solution to the following system of inequalities?

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?

Which graph represents the solution of y ≤ x2 + 1 and x > y2 – 5?

Michael is paid $9 per hour to work at the movie theater and $7 per hour when he helps his aunt at her bakery. Michael cannot work more than 32 hours in a week, but he wishes to earn at least $251 each week. Which weekly work schedule is within Michael’s constraints?

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?

A charity bingo game costs $2 per round and has a $13 entry fee for an adult. It costs $3 per round and a $10 entry fee for a child. For how many rounds of bingo are the costs the same for an adult and a child?

A farm irrigation system waters a large field. Consider the center of the field as the origin and the rest of the field as a grid measured in yards. The first irrigation unit is located at the point (–400, –200) and waters 500 yards in every direction. The second is located at (200, 300) and waters 400 yards in every direction. The system of inequalities represents this scenario.

Samir begins riding his bike at a rate of 6 miles per hour. Twelve minutes later, Chris leaves from the same point and bikes along the same route at 9 miles per hour. How long after Chris begins riding does he catch up to Samir?

Two boats depart from a port located at (–10, 0) in a coordinate system measured in kilometers, and they travel in a positive x-direction. The first boat follows a path that can be modeled by a quadratic function with a vertex at (0, 5), and the second boat follows a path that can be modeled by a linear function and passes through the point (10, 4). At what point, besides the common starting location of the port, do the paths of the two boats cross?
