Inequality in real world.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Oxana [17]3 years ago
3 0
Solving real-world problems that involve inequalities is very much like solving problems that involve equations.

Example 1

In order to get a bonus this month, Leon must sell at least 120 newspaper subscriptions. He sold 85 subscriptions in the first three weeks of the month. How many subscriptions must Leon sell in the last week of the month?

Solution

Let x = the number of subscriptions Leon sells in the last week of the month. The total number of subscriptions for the month must be greater than 120, so we write :

85 + x ≥ 120.

We solve the inequality by subtracting 85 from both sides: x ≥ 35.

Leon must sell 35 or more subscriptions in the last week to get his bonus.

Check

To check the answer, we see that 85 + 35 = 120. If he sells 35 or more subscriptions, the total number of subscriptions he sells that month will be 120 or more. The answer checks out.

Example 2

Virenas Scout troop is trying to raise at least $650 this spring. How many boxes of cookies must they sell at $4.50 per box in order to reach their goal?

Solution

Let x = number of boxes sold. Then the inequality describing this problem is 4.50 ≥ 650.

We solve the inequality by dividing both sides by 4.50: x ≥ 144.44.

We round up the answer to 145 since only whole boxes can be sold.

Virenas troop must sell at least 145 boxes.

Check

If we multiply 145 by $4.50 we obtain $652.50, so if Virenas troop sells more than 145 boxes they will raise more than $650. But if they sell 144 boxes, they will only raise $648,

which is not enough. So they must indeed sell at least 145 boxes. The answer checks out.

**WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST** MUST SHOW WORK!
Art [367]

To find the average of an amount of numbers, we simply add them up and divide them by the amount of numbers we have. For example, if we have 1,2, and 3 as our numbers, we can see that we have three numbers. Next, we add them up to get 1+2+3=6. Lastly, we divide 6 by the amount of numbers we have (3) to get 6/3=2 as our average. Applying that here, we see that there are four numbers. Next, we add them up using a calculator to get 5,678.54+3,665.77+4,231.98+4,768.99 =18345.28 . Finally, we divide that number by the amount of numbers we have (using a calculator) to get 18345.28/4=4,586.32, making B your answer.

If f(x) = - x + 4 and g(x) = x ^ 2 - 5 , then f(g(-2))=?
kkurt [141]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

using your f(x) I want to show you how to plug in different things itnot he function.

f(x) = -x + 4

f(1) = -1 + 4 = 3

f(2) = -2 + 4 = 2

f(m) = -m + 4

f(abc) = -(abc) + 4

f(h(x)) = -h(x) + 4

Does that help?  what if you replaced h(x) with g(x)?  Of course you already have that x so you could make it a little simpler as well.  Let me know if you don't quite get it.

The measure of angle 3 is 42°.<br><br> What is the measure of angle 1 in degrees?
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

<1 = 48

Step-by-step explanation:

<1 + <2 + <3 = 180 since they form a line

<1 + 90+ 42 =180

Combine like terms

<1 + 132 =180

Subtract 132 from each side

<1 +132-132 =180-132

<1 = 48
