The value (in dollars) of an airplane depends on the flight hours as given by the formula V= 1,800,000 - 250x . After one year, the value of the plane is between $1,200,000 and $1,300,000. Which range for the flight hours does this correspond to?

a. 1800 <= x <= 2100
b. 2200<= x <= 2500
c. 1500<= x <= 1800
d. 2000<= x <= 2400

Respuesta :

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the range we must solve this inequality;

● 1200000<1800000-250x<1300000

Substract 1800000 from both sides.

● 1200000-1800000<1800000-250x<1300000-1800000

● -600000< -250x < -500000

Divide both sides by 250

● -600000/250 < -250x/250 < -500000/250

● -2400 < -x < -2000

Multiply both sides by -1 and switch the signs

● 2000 < x < 2400

The correct option is D. 2000<= x <= 2400

Given, the value of an airplane depends on the flight hours,

[tex]V= 1800000-250x[/tex], here x is the flight hours.

We have to calculate the range of x After one year.

Since, [tex]V= 1800000-250x[/tex]

[tex]250x=1800000-V\\\\x=\dfrac{1800000-V}{250}[/tex]

Since the value of the plane is between $1,200,000 and $1,300,000. So,

[tex]x=\dfrac{1800000-1200000}{250}[/tex]

[tex]x=\dfrac{600000}{250}[/tex]

[tex]x=2400\\[/tex]

When V is 1300000 then x will be,

[tex]x=\dfrac{1800000-1300000}{250} \\[/tex]

[tex]x=\dfrac{500000}{250}[/tex]

[tex]x=2000[/tex]

Hence the range of x will be from 2000 to 2400.

The correct option is D. 2000<= x <= 2400.
