Algebra.Com's Answer #838863 by greenestamps(13200)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! \n" ); document.write( "ANSWER (to the problem as presented): There is no minimum possible value of d. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Because both inequalities are strict inequalities, any solution to the pair of inequalities lies ABOVE both constraint boundary lines. \n" ); document.write( "Solving the pair of equations of the constraint boundary lines, we find the point of intersection is (90,180). \n" ); document.write( "So we know the minimum possible value of the y coordinate is GREATER THAN 180.... \n" ); document.write( "But there is no \"minimum value greater than 180\". \n" ); document.write( "In order for it to be possible to answer the question, the inequalities must both be \"greater than or equal to\" instead of \"greater than\": \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Then we know the minimum value of d, the y coordinate: 180 \n" ); document.write( "ANSWER (to the corrected problem): 180 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
