The expressions that can be used to derive the quadratic inequality for the
situation are;
Reasons:
The parameters of the restaurant are;
The charge per buffet = $10
Number of customers that choose the buffet every hour = 16 customers
For an increase in $1 in the cost of the buffet, the customers decrease by 2 per each hour.
The required minimum revenue per hour = $130
Required:
The situation is to be modelled as a quadratic inequality.
Two expressions for the situation, one for the cost and one for the
customers.
Assumption: x = The number of $1 increases in the cost of the buffet
Solution:
The expressions are;
- The cost of the buffet for an increase in x dollars is; Cost = 10 + x
- The expression for the customers when the cost increases by x amount is; Customer = 16 - 2·x
Which gives;
Cost × Customers = Revenue
The inequality that models the situation is therefore;
(10 + x) × (16 - 2·x) ≥ 130
Which gives;
160 - 20·x + 16·x - 2·x² ≥ 130
160 - 4·x - 2·x² ≥ 130
