Work the information to set inequalities that represent each condition or restriction.
2) Name the variables.
c: number of color copies
b: number of black-and-white copies
3) Model each restriction:
i) <span>It takes 3 minutes to print a color copy and 1 minute to print a black-and-white copy.
</span><span>
</span><span>3c + b
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>ii) He needs to print at least 6 copies ⇒ c + b ≥ 6
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>iv) And must have the copies completed in no more than 12 minutes ⇒</span>
3c + b ≤ 12
<span />
4) Additional restrictions are c ≥ 0, and b ≥ 0 (i.e. only positive values for the number of each kind of copies are acceptable)
5) This is how you graph that:
i) 3c + b ≤ 12: draw the line 3c + b = 12 and shade the region up and to the right of the line.
ii) c + b ≥ 6: draw the line c + b = 6 and shade the region down and to the left of the line.
iii) since c ≥ 0 and b ≥ 0, the region is in the first quadrant.
iv) The final region is the intersection of the above mentioned shaded regions.
v) You can see such graph in the attached figure.
