Answer:
See the attached image for the graph of the first system.
Step-by-step explanation:
Here's how to graph the first system.
Start with the inequality . You can make this easier to work with by multiplying through by -1. Remember to switch the inequality sign when multiplying by a <u>negative</u> number. OK, you get the inequality
.
The graph will be a half-plane -- all the points on one side of a line. The line that is the boundary of the half-plane has an equation: -- just use an = sign instead of the inequality sign.
Graph the line.
The equation of the line is in slope-intercept form: y = mx + b, so you can tell the y-intercept is 3 and the slope is 2 (think of it as a fraction 2/1). Graph the line by going to the point (0, 3) -- the y-intercept -- then use the slope 2/1 interpreted as "rise over run" to go up 2 units and right 1 unit, arriving at the point (1, 5). Draw the line through those points, (0, 3) and (1, 5).
Now you have to decide which side of the line the inequality is describing. To do this, pick a point which is not on the line, plug its coordinates into the inequality; if the result is true, shade the side of the line the point you picked is on (if false, shade the <u>other</u> side!)
An easy point to pick in this case is the origin, (0, 0). Put zeros in for x and y in the inequality, and you'll get the statement . That's <u>false</u>, so shade the side of the line <u>not</u> containing the origin. In the image below, the shading is in purple.
All right, now for the other inequality, . Subtract 2 from both sides and the inequality becomes
. This, too, graphs as a half-plane whose boundary line has equation
. Graph the line. A line with an equation that has x in it but not y is a vertical line with all its x-coordinates equal to the number on the right side of the equation. This line is vertical and goes through points such as (-2, 0).
Pick a point <u>not</u> on the line (the origin works again). Put the coordinates into the inequality to get which is <u>false</u>. Shade the side of the vertical line which does <u>not</u> contain the origin. In the image below, the shading is in black.
Finally, YAY! \o/ , the solutions to the system are all the points in the plane that got shaded twice. In the image, they are the cross-hatched points above the purple line and to left of the black line.
Note: If you get a system with three inequalities, you'll be graphing three half-planes and looking for points that got shaded three times!
Note: One of your questions has the inequalities and
in it. These two inequalities say that the x and y coordinates are both positive or zero, confining your attention to Quadrant I in the upper-right part of a graph, above the x-axis <u>and</u> to the right of the y-axis.
<em>The complete exercise with the answer options is as follows:</em>
Mancini's Pizzeria sells four types of pizza crust. Last week, the owner tracked the number sold of each type, and this is what he found.
Type of Crust Number Sold
Thin crust 364
Thick crust 240
Stuffed crust 176
Pan style 260
Based on this information, of the next 3000 pizzas he sells, how many should he expect to be thick crust? Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Do not round any intermediate calculations.
Answer:
692 thick crust pizzas
Step-by-step explanation:
With the data given in the exercise, we must first find the total number of pizzas, then we must find the proportion between the thick crust pizzas and the total number of pizzas, finally we must propose a rule of three to find the new proportion of crust pizzas thick on a total of 3000 pizzas.
Type of Crust Number Sold
Thin crust 364
Thick crust 240
Stuffed crust 176
Pan style 260
total pizzas : 1040
Now we must calculate for 3000 pizzas how much would be the total of thick crust pizzas.For that we must use the relationship found, that is, in 1040 pizzas there are 240 thick crust pizzas
1040→240
3000→x
x= = 692
Now we have a new proportion that out of 3000 pizzas there are a total of 692 thick crust pizzas
