Answer

For a speed range of $\left(40,50\right)$

Work Step by Step

$g=10+0.9v-0.01v^2$. for $g\gt30$, $10+0.9v-0.01v^2\gt30,$ $-0.01v^2+0.9v-20\gt0,$ multiplying both sides by 100. $-v^2+90v-2000\gt0$ solving for the trinomial using quadratic formula for the quadratic equation of $ax^2+bx+c, x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$. In this case, $-v^2+90v-2000\gt0, v=\frac{-90\pm\sqrt{(90)^2-4\times(-1)(-2000)}}{2(-1)}=\frac{-90\pm10}{-2}$ thus, $v=50$ or $v=40$ $-(v-50)(v-40)\gt0$. $\begin{array}{lll} intervals &testing cases& -(v-50)(v-40)\gt0 & -(v-50)(v-40)\gt0?\\ (-\infty, 40) & 0&(-)(-)(-)=(-)&F\\ (40,50)&45&(-)(-)(+)=(+)&T\\ (50,\infty)&60&(-)(+)(+)=(-)&F\\ \end{array}$ Therefore, for a speed range of $\left(40,50\right)$
