<h3>Answer: Largest value is a = 9</h3>

===================================================

Work Shown:

b = 5

(2b)^2 = (2*5)^2 = 100

So we want the expression a^2+3b to be less than (2b)^2 = 100

We need to solve a^2 + 3b < 100 which turns into

a^2 + 3b < 100

a^2 + 3(5) < 100

a^2 + 15 < 100

after substituting in b = 5.

------------------

Let's isolate 'a'

a^2 + 15 < 100

a^2 < 100-15

a^2 < 85

a < sqrt(85)

a < 9.2195

'a' is an integer, so we round down to the nearest whole number to get a \le 9

So the greatest integer possible for 'a' is a = 9.

------------------

Check:

plug in a = 9 and b = 5

a^2 + 3b < 100

9^2 + 3(5) < 100

81 + 15 < 100

96 < 100 .... true statement

now try a = 10 and b = 5

a^2 + 3b < 100

10^2 + 3(5) < 100

100 + 15 < 100 ... you can probably already see the issue

115 < 100 ... this is false, so a = 10 doesn't work

The two tables give the number of pints of red and blue paint that are used to make different amounts of two shades of purple pa
kirza4 [7]

The two highlighted rows show that for the same amount of blue, Purple #1 uses <u>more</u> red than Purple #2.

This means that Purple #1 is <u>a redder</u> shade of purple than Purple #2.

Purple #2 is <u>a bluer</u> shade of purple than Purple #1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The two highlighted rows show that for the same amount of blue, Purple #1 uses <u>more</u> red than Purple #2.

  • Making blue's quantity as 3 parts for purple #1 implies red part becomes 1.5 to maintain the ratio 1:2
  • Purple #1 has 1/3 parts red and 2/3 parts blue. Purple #2 has 1/4th part red and 3/4th part blue.
  • Hence, Purple #1 is <u>a redder</u> shade of purple than Purple #2.
  • From the above explanation, Purple #2 is <u>a bluer</u> shade of purple than Purple #1.
