Answer:

  • It is the last graph: solid line, shaded area over the line x = 2 - x/2

Explanation:

1) <u>Set the algebraigic expression that represents the combinations of sofa and pillow orders:</u>

  • Number of sofas: x (given)
  • Number of pillows: 2y (given, since they come in pairs)
  • Number of items = number of sofas + number of pillows = x + 2y
  • Minimum of 4 items in each order (given) ⇒ x + 2y ≥ 4

<u>2) Predict the graph of the inequality x + 2y ≥ 4</u>

  • The border line is the equation x + 2y = 4
  • You can choose two points to draw a line
  • Choose the axis-intercepst:

        x = 0 ⇒ 2y = 4 ⇒ y =4/2 ⇒ y = 2 ⇒ point (0,2)

        y = 0 ⇒ x = 4 ⇒ point (4,0)

        Then the lines goes through (0,2) and (4,0) ... [the four graphs meet this]

  • The shading area is above the line because when you solve for y you get y ≥   2 - x/2, and the line is included because the "equal to" part of the symbol (≥ means greater than or equal to).

  •  To state that the line is included the graph uses a continous line instead of a dotted one.

<u>3) Conclusion:</u>

That means that the correct graph is the last one: solid line, shaded area over the line y = 2 - x/2.

Note: a more detailed graph would include the fact that the items cannot be negative, i.e. x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0, which would result in that the shaded area would be on the first quadrant.

A = P( 1 + rt)
A/P = 1 + rt
A/P - 1 = rt
t = (( A/P)) - 1)/r


t = (( 5500/1000) - 1)/(6.25/100
t = (5.5 - 1)/0.0625
t = 4.5/0.0625 = 72 years


Answer it will  take 72 Years...
