5 Many business profits can be modeled by quadratic functions
Many business profits can be modeled by quadratic functions. To ensure that the profit is above a certain level, financial planners may need to graph and solve quadratic inequalities. A quadratic inequality in two variables can be written in one of the following forms, where a, b, and c are real numbers and a ≠ 0. Its solution set is a set of ordered pairs (x, y).

6 y < ax2 + bx + c y > ax2 + bx + c
In Lesson 2-5, you solved linear inequalities in two variables by graphing. You can use a similar procedure to graph quadratic inequalities.

7 Example 1: Graphing Quadratic Inequalities in Two Variables
Graph y ≥ x2 – 7x + 10. Step 1 Graph the boundary of the related parabola y = x2 – 7x + 10 with a solid curve. Its y-intercept is 10, its vertex is (3.5, –2.25), and its x-intercepts are 2 and 5.

8 Example 1 Continued Step 2 Shade above the parabola because the solution consists of y-values greater than those on the parabola for corresponding x-values.

9 Example 1 Continued Check Use a test point to verify the solution region. y ≥ x2 – 7x + 10 0 ≥ (4)2 –7(4) + 10 Try (4, 0). 0 ≥ 16 – 0 ≥ –2

16 Quadratic inequalities in one variable, such as ax2 + bx + c > 0 (a ≠ 0), have solutions in one variable that are graphed on a number line. For and statements, both of the conditions must be true. For or statements, at least one of the conditions must be true. Reading Math

17 Example 2A: Solving Quadratic Inequalities by Using Tables and Graphs
Solve the inequality by using tables or graphs. x2 + 8x + 20 ≥ 5 Use a graphing calculator to graph each side of the inequality. Set Y1 equal to x2 + 8x + 20 and Y2 equal to 5. Identify the values of x for which Y1 ≥ Y2.

18 The number line shows the solution set.
Example 2A Continued The parabola is at or above the line when x is less than or equal to –5 or greater than or equal to –3. So, the solution set is x ≤ –5 or x ≥ –3 or (–∞, –5] U [–3, ∞). The table supports your answer. The number line shows the solution set. –6 –4 –

20 The number line shows the solution set.
Example 2B Continued The parabola is below the line when x is greater than –5 and less than –3. So, the solution set is –5 < x < –3 or (–5, –3). The table supports your answer. The number line shows the solution set. –6 –4 –

25 The number lines showing the solution sets in Example 2 are divided into three distinct regions by the points –5 and –3. These points are called critical values. By finding the critical values, you can solve quadratic inequalities algebraically.

26 Example 3: Solving Quadratic Equations by Using Algebra

(x – 3)(x – 7) = 0 Factor. x – 3 = 0 or x – 7 = 0 Zero Product Property. x = 3 or x = 7 Solve for x. The critical values are 3 and 7. The critical values divide the number line into three intervals: x ≤ 3, 3 ≤ x ≤ 7, x ≥ 7.

38 A compound inequality such as 12 ≤ x ≤ 28 can be written as {x|x ≥12 U x ≤ 28}, or x ≥ 12 and x ≤ 28. (see Lesson 2-8). Remember!

39 Example 4: Problem-Solving Application
