1. Factor the following:
x2 + 3x − 10
[5 points]

√
3. Find the domain of f (x) = 3 − x.
[5 points]
Solution:
f is defined when 3 − x ≥ 0, So:
3−x ≥ 0
−x ≥ −3
x ≤ 3
D : {x | x ≤ 3} or (−∞, 3]

5. The revenue for FunTime Dude Ranch in Texas is given by the function f (x) =
−0.01x2 + 30x, where x is the dollar amount spent on advertising. The amount spent
by FunTime on advertising at time t ≥ 1 is given by g(t) = 4t − 4 dollars
