 Estimate Function Values

A. ADVERTISING The function f (x) = –5x 2 + 50x

approximates the profit at a toy company, where
x represents marketing costs and f (x) represents
profit. Both costs and profits are measured in tens
of thousands of dollars. Use the graph to estimate
the profit when marketing costs are $30,000.
Confirm your estimate
algebraically.
 Estimate Function Values

$30,000 is three ten thousands. The function value at

x = 3 appears to be about 100 ten thousands, so the
total profit was about $1,000,000. To confirm this
estimate algebraically, find f(3).
f(3) = 5(3)2 + 50(3) = 105, or about $1,050,000.
The graphical estimate of about $1,000,000 is
reasonable.

B. ADVERTISING The function f (x) = –5x 2 + 50x

approximates the profit at a toy company, where
x represents marketing costs and f (x) represents
profit. Both costs and profits are measured in tens
of thousands of dollars. Use the graph to estimate
marketing costs when the profit is $1,250,000.
Confirm your estimate
algebraically.
 Estimate Function Values

$1,250,000 is 125 ten thousands. The value of the

function appears to reach 125 ten thousands for an
x-value of about 5. This represents an estimate of
5 ● $10,000 or $50,000. To confirm algebraically, find
f(5). f(5) = 5(5)2 + 50(5) = 125, or about $1,250,000.
The graphical estimate that marketing costs are $50,000
when the profit is $1,250,000 is reasonable.

 Find Domain and Range

Use the graph of f to find the domain and range of

the function.
 Find Domain and Range

Domain
• The dot at (3, 3) indicates that the domain of
f ends at 3 and includes 3.
• The arrow on the left side indicates that the graph
will continue without bound.
The domain of f is . In set-builder notation, the
domain is .
Range
The graph does not extend above y = 2, but f (x)
decreases without bound for smaller and smaller
values of x. So the range of f is .
