10. A 266-hp output is required for an engine. If there is a 5% loss of power, what amount of input
1 answer:
Answer:
Amount of input horsepower needed is 279.3 hp.
Step-by-step explanation:
if there is a loss of power of 5% the base horsepower will need to be increased by same percentage so that same amount of power can be delivered.
Now to calculate 5% of 266 hp, we can write
266 × = 13.3 hp
Now to deliver same amount of power we will have to add 5% of 266 hp to its actual power.
So real base power which is needed to deliver 266hp output even at a loss of 5% will be = (266+13.3) hp = 279.3 hp

The two inequalities can be rewritten as
The solution is composed by every point below the graph of the line , and above the horizontal line
To draw the line we can build a little table (only 2 points are required):
So, if you draw the points (0,2) and (1, -2) and connect them, you'll have your line.
To draw the line , simply pick any point with y coordinate -2, for example (0, -2), and draw a horizontal line.
Choose the above/below areas as specified above to solve the system.
