On a coordinate plane, a curved line with a minimum value of (0.8, negative 11.4) and maximum values of (negative 1.6, 56) and (2, 0), crosses the x-axis at (negative 2.5, 0), (0, 0), and (2, 0), and crosses the y-axis at (0, 0). What is the local maximum over the interval [–3, 1.5] for the graphed function?

walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies but no more than 40. 5 ≥ x ≥ 40;

step-by-step explanation:

walter has to make a minimum of 20 cookies. he already has 15 cookies made, so he must make 5 more to meet the minimum.

the maximum amount of cookies he can make is 55. he already has 15, so he has to make no more than 40 more cookies to meet the maximum.

a. is correct
