Question

A college is currently accepting students that are both in-state and out-of-state. They plan to accept three times as many in-states students as out-of-state, and they only have space to accept 100 out-of-state students. Let x= the number of out=of=state students and y= the number in-state students. Write the constrains to represent the incoming students at the college.

Answer 1

Answer:

0 < x ≤ 100 and 0 < y ≤ 300

Step-by-step explanation:

THIS IS THE COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW;

college is currently accepting students that are both in-state and out-of-state. They plan to accept three times as many in-state students as out-of-state, and they only have space to accept 100 out-of-state students. Let x = the number of out-of-state students and y = the number in-state students. Write the constraints to represent the incoming students at the college.

0 < x ≤ 100 and 0 < y ≤ 300

x > 0 and y > 0

0 < x ≤ 100 and y > 300

0 < x and y < 100

SOLUTION

they only have space to accept 100 out-of-state students,which means that the Maximum number of out-of-state students that can be accepted is 100

Then x= 100(Maximum number of out-of-state students that can be accepted)

They plan to accept three times as many in-state students as out-of-state which means that

Y = 3x(Maximum number of in-state students)

Then we can deduced that the numbee out-of-state students that can be accepted can lyes between the range of 0 and 100 which means from interval 0 to 100

Which can be written as 0 < x ≤ 100

But we need to know the interval for the Maximum number of in-state students(Y), to do that we need to multiply the equation above by 3 since Y = 3x

0 < x ≤ 100

3× 0 = 0

3× X = X

3× 100= 300

Then 0 < 3x≤ 300

But we know that Y = 3x then substitute into last equation

We have

0 < y ≤ 300

ThenBthe constraints to represent the incoming students at the college is

0 < x ≤ 100 and 0 < y ≤ 300
