Which system of linear inequalities is represented by the graph? ax – 3y > 6 and y > 2x + 4 bx + 3y > 6 and y > 2x

igor_vitrenko [27]

The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

bx + 3y > 6 and y > 2x + 4

Explanation:

Looking at the second inequality, the y-intercept is 4 and the slope is 2. This means the graph of the line crosses the y-axis at (0, 4) and the line goes up 2 and over 1. Since it is greater than, this means the graph is shaded above it. Comparing this to the graph, the line for the blue part crosses the y-axis at (0, 4) and goes up 2 and over 1. The graph is also shaded above the line.

For the first inequality, bx+3y > 6, we want to isolate y. To do this, we subtract bx from each side:

bx+3y-bx > 6-bx

3y > 6-bx

Divide both sides by 3:

3y/3 > 6/3 - bx/3

y > 2 - (b/3)x

This means the line for this will have a y-intercept of 2 and decrease 1 while going over 3. The orange section does this. Additionally, since it is greater than, the graph should be shaded above the line. This one is, so this is the correct answer.

A contractor bought 7.6 ft2 of sheet metal. She has used 3.5 ft2 so far and has $123 worth of sheet metal remaining. The equati

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

Sheet metal remaining = 4.1x

cost per square foot of sheet metal = $30

Step-by-step explanation:

Total sheet metal bought = 7.6 ft2

Total sheet metal used = 3.5 ft2

Given equation:

7.6x − 3.5x = 123

Where,

x = cost per square foot

7.6x − 3.5x

Sheet metal remaining = 4.1x

7.6x − 3.5x = 123

4.1x = 123

x = 123 / 4.1

x = $30

Cost per square foot = $30

A fast food restaurant executive wishes to know how many fast food meals adults eat each week. They want to construct a 98% conf

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

$n=(\frac{2.326(1.1)}{0.07})^2 =1336.006 \approx 1337$

So the answer for this case would be n=1337 rounded up to the nearest integer

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

$\sigma=1.1$ represent the population standard deviation

n represent the sample size

Solution to the problem

The margin of error is given by this formula:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ (a)

And on this case we have that ME =0.07 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

$n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} \sigma}{ME})^2$ (b)

The critical value for 98% of confidence interval now can be founded using the normal distribution. And in excel we can use this formula to find it:"=-NORM.INV(0.01;0;1)", and we got $z_{\alpha/2}=2.326$ , replacing into formula (b) we got:

$n=(\frac{2.326(1.1)}{0.07})^2 =1336.006 \approx 1337$

So the answer for this case would be n=1337 rounded up to the nearest integer
