To determine which point is a solution to the simultaneous inequalities \( y < 12x \) and \( y > \frac{1}{3}x + 3 \), we need to evaluate each given point against both inequalities.
-
Point (25, 12):
- For \( y < 12x \):
- \( 12 < 12(25) \)
- \( 12 < 300 \) (True)
- For \( y > \frac{1}{3}x + 3 \):
- \( 12 > \frac{1}{3}(25) + 3 \)
- \( 12 > \frac{25}{3} + 3 = \frac{25}{3} + \frac{9}{3} = \frac{34}{3} \approx 11.33 \) (True)
- Conclusion: (25, 12) satisfies both inequalities.
- For \( y < 12x \):
-
Point (2, 2):
- For \( y < 12x \):
- \( 2 < 12(2) \)
- \( 2 < 24 \) (True)
- For \( y > \frac{1}{3}x + 3 \):
- \( 2 > \frac{1}{3}(2) + 3 \)
- \( 2 > \frac{2}{3} + 3 = \frac{2}{3} + \frac{9}{3} = \frac{11}{3} \approx 3.67 \) (False)
- Conclusion: (2, 2) does not satisfy both inequalities.
- For \( y < 12x \):
-
Point (3, 6):
- For \( y < 12x \):
- \( 6 < 12(3) \)
- \( 6 < 36 \) (True)
- For \( y > \frac{1}{3}x + 3 \):
- \( 6 > \frac{1}{3}(3) + 3 \)
- \( 6 > 1 + 3 = 4 \) (True)
- Conclusion: (3, 6) satisfies both inequalities.
- For \( y < 12x \):
-
Point (10, 5):
- For \( y < 12x \):
- \( 5 < 12(10) \)
- \( 5 < 120 \) (True)
- For \( y > \frac{1}{3}x + 3 \):
- \( 5 > \frac{1}{3}(10) + 3 \)
- \( 5 > \frac{10}{3} + 3 = \frac{10}{3} + \frac{9}{3} = \frac{19}{3} \approx 6.33 \) (False)
- Conclusion: (10, 5) does not satisfy both inequalities.
- For \( y < 12x \):
Among the points evaluated, (25, 12) and (3, 6) both satisfy the inequalities. Since (25, 12) seems higher and still valid, we'll consider it a solution.
So, a solution to the simultaneous inequalities is:
Response: (25, 12).
