2 variable inequalities from their graphs . Please answer. Ty!
1 answer:
Answer:
y≤
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the graph is facing down, We know the equation is y<mx+b
Since slope is rise/run the slope is 1/3.
Since the y intercept (The point where the line hits y) is 1, the equation is
y<1/3x+1
BUT WAIT!
The line is solid meaning that we have to include the line as part of the values. This will make the new equation
y≤

Check the picture below.
the piecewise function, has two subfunctions or behaviours, one if x < 1, meaning less, not equals, but less than 1, so it doesn't include one, so it has a "hole" on that endpoint.
and the second behaviour of the piecewise is if x ⩾ 1, larger or equals than 1, so it includes 1, so it has a solid ball on that endpoint.

Answer:
It would take Henry 3 hours to clean the office carpets if Mary were not there to help
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume that it takes Henry t hours to clean the carpets
∵ Henry takes 3 hours less than Mary to clean the carpets
∵ Henry takes t hours
- That means add 3 to t to find Mary time
∴ Mary takes t + 3 hours
∵ The rate of Henry is
∵ The rate of Mary is
∵ Working together, they can clean the carpets in 2 hours
- Add the two rates and equate the answer by (their rate together)
∴
Multiply the two denominators and multiply each numerator by the other denominator to add the two fractions of the left hand side
∵
∴
- Add the two fractions in the left hand side
∴
∴
Use the cross multiplication
∵ (t² + 3t)(1) = 2(2t + 3)
∴ t² + 3t = 4t + 6
- Subtract 4t from both sides
∴ t² - t = 6
- Subtract 6 from both sides
∴ t² - t - 6 = 0
- Factorize it into two factors
∴ (t - 3)(t + 2) = 0
Equate each factor by 0 to find t
∵ t - 3 = 0
- Add 3 to both sides
∴ t = 3
OR
∵ t + 2 = 0
- Subtract 2 from both sides
∴ t = -2 ⇒ reject this answer because there is no - ve time
∴ t = 3
∴ Henry would take 3 hours to clean the carpets alone
It would take Henry 3 hours to clean the office carpets if Mary were not there to help
