Let us assume the larger number = x
Let us assume the smaller number = y
Then
x + y = 3 3/4
x + y = 15/4
And
x/3 = (2y/3) + 1/2
x = [3 * (2y/3)] + (3/2)
  = 2y + (3/2)
Now putting the value of x from the second equation to the first , we get
x + y = 15/4
2y + (3/2) + y = 15/4
3y = (15/4) - (3/2)
3y = (15 - 6)/4
3y * 4 = 9
12y = 9
y = 9/12
   = 3/4
Now putting the value of y in the first equation, we get
x + y = 15/4
x + (3/4) = (15/4)
x = (15/4) - (3/4)
   = (15 - 3)/4
   = 12/4
   = 3
So the value of x or the larger number is 3 and the value of y or the smaller number is 3/4.

What is the range of the function graphed below? PLEASE ANSWER ASAP
jenyasd209 [6]
<h3>Answer: Choice C) -\infty < y < 2</h3>

This is a more complicated way to write y < 2

The range is the set of all possible y outputs of a function. So we use the graph to see what y values are possible. The graph shows that y can be anything smaller than y = 2. We can't actually reach y = 2 itself due to a horizontal asymptote here.

In interval notation, the answer would be (-\infty, 2) with the curved parenthesis to indicate "do not include y = 2 as part of the range".
