Problem 141

Jake owns two gas stations. The total revenue of the first gas station for the next 12 months is projected to be $$0.2 t^{2}+150 t \quad(0 \leq t \leq 12)$$ thousand dollars $t$ months from now. The total revenue of the second gas station for the next
12 months is projected to be $$0.5 t^{2}+200 t \quad(0 \leq t \leq 12)$$ thousand dollars $t$ months from now. Find an expression that gives the total revenue realized by Jake's gas stations in month $t(0 \leq t \leq 12)$.

Problem 143

Solve the equation by using the quadratic formula.
The distribution of income in a certain city can be described by the mathematical model $y=\left(5.6 \cdot 10^{11}\right)(x)^{-1.5},$ where $y$ is the number of families with an income of
$x$ or more dollars.
a. How many families in this city have an income of 30,000 dollar or more?
b. How many families have an income of 60,000 dollar or more?
c. How many families have an income of 150,000 dollar or more?
