Algebra.Com's Answer #733927 by Theo(13342) You can put this solution on YOUR website! let x = number of movie passes. \n" ); document.write( "let y = number of gift certificates.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you need at least 5 movie passes, so x >= 5.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you need at least 2 gift certificates, so y >= 2.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a movie pass costs 6 dollars and a gift certificate costs 10 dollars and the most ou can spend is 70 dollars, so 6x + 10y <= 70.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "your system of requirements are:\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x >= 5 \n" ); document.write( "y >= 2 \n" ); document.write( "6x + 10y <= 70\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "when x = 6 and y = 3, 6x + 10y <= 70 becomes 6*6 + 10*3 <= 70 which becomes 36 + 30 <= 70 which becomes 66 <= 70 which is true.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "therefore, you can buy 6 movie passes and 3 gift certificates and still stay under the limit of 70 dollars.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the following graph shows that.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \r\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "in this graph, the opposite of the constraint inequalities are graphed.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the area of the graph that is not shaded is the region of feasibility.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "6 movie passes and 3 gift certificates is the intersection of the line x = 6 and y = 3.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "that intersection is in the portion of the graph that is not shaded.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "this means that 6 movie passes and 3 gift certificates are within the constraints of the problem.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "this was shown algebraically above the graph.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
