A fruit company recently released a new applesauce. By the end of its first year, profits on this product amounted to $ 29 comma 600. The anticipated profit for the end of the fourth year is $ 66 comma 800. After the first year, the ratio of change in time to change in profit is constant. Let x be years and P be profit in dollars. a. Write a linear function P(x) that expresses profit as a function of time. P(x)equals 12,400 x plus 17,200 (Use integers or fractions for any numbers in the equation. Do not include the $ symbol in your answer.) b. Use this function to predict the company's profit at the end of the ninth year. P(9)equals$ 128,800 c. Profit should reach $178 comma 400 at the end of year

the system of inequity is

step-by-step explanation:

from the given graph it is noticed that we have two related lines. one is solid and another is dashed.

if a line passing through two points, then the equation of line is

the solid line passing through the points (0,4) and (4,0).

the related equation of solid line is .

similarly, find the related equation of dashed line. the dashed liune passing through the points (0,0) and (3,1).

the related equation of dashed line is

from the given graph it is noticed that the point (0,1) lies on the shaded region, therefore the point (0,1) must be satisfied by the related equations.

check the related equations by the point (0,1).

this statement is true if the sign of inequality is < instead of equality. since it is an solid line therefore the sign of inequality will be . the required inequality is

similarly, check the second related equation.

it is a dashed line, so this statement is true if the sign of inequality is > . the required inequality is
