Let's analyze and provide solutions for each of your questions one by one.
Question 12
You need to find ordered pairs that satisfy both inequalities:
- \( y < 5x + 2 \)
- \( y > \frac{1}{2}x + 1 \)
To determine which pairs satisfy both inequalities, we check them one by one.
-
(–1, 3):
- \( 3 < 5(-1) + 2 \) → \( 3 < -5 + 2 \) → \( 3 < -3 \) (FALSE)
- Not a solution.
-
(0, 2):
- \( 2 < 5(0) + 2 \) → \( 2 < 2 \) (FALSE)
- Not a solution.
-
(1, 2):
- \( 2 < 5(1) + 2 \) → \( 2 < 5 + 2 \) → \( 2 < 7 \) (TRUE)
- \( 2 > \frac{1}{2}(1) + 1 \) → \( 2 > 0.5 + 1 \) → \( 2 > 1.5 \) (TRUE)
- This is a solution.
-
(2, –1):
- \( -1 < 5(2) + 2 \) → \( -1 < 10 + 2 \) → \( -1 < 12 \) (TRUE)
- \( -1 > \frac{1}{2}(2) + 1 \) → \( -1 > 1 + 1 \) → \( -1 > 2 \) (FALSE)
- Not a solution.
-
(2, 2):
- \( 2 < 5(2) + 2 \) → \( 2 < 10 + 2 \) → \( 2 < 12 \) (TRUE)
- \( 2 > \frac{1}{2}(2) + 1 \) → \( 2 > 1 + 1 \) → \( 2 > 2 \) (FALSE)
- Not a solution.
The only ordered pair that satisfies both inequalities is (1, 2). There is no second solution from the given options.
Question 21
Let \( a \) be the administration fee and \( m \) be the monthly fee.
From the information given:
- \( a + 12m = 660 \)
- \( a + 15m = 810 \)
Subtract the first from the second: \[ (a + 15m) - (a + 12m) = 810 - 660 \] \[ 3m = 150 \] \[ m = 50 \]
Now substitute \( m \) back to find \( a \): \[ a + 12(50) = 660 \] \[ a + 600 = 660 \] \[ a = 60 \]
The administration fee is $60.
Question 22
Set the costs equal to each other: \[ 50x + 250 = 75x + 100 \]
This matches with option: 50x + 250 = 75x + 100.
Question 23
Since the wholesaler requires a minimum of 4 items, you can think of ordering sofas (x) and pairs of pillows (y). The equation could represent \( x + 2y \geq 4 \).
A line with a negative slope that indicates everything below (the feasible region) is shaded with a solid line arises from such inequalities. Thus, the option that matches is:
Overall equation: Solid line with negative slope shading below (second option in the context of the question).
Question 24
To represent the system of inequalities in both circles, you have:
- The vertical line at \( x = -2 \) indicates \( x \geq -2 \).
- The line with a positive slope indicates a situation where \( y \) values are less than or equal to another expression, likely \( y \leq 3x \).
Both should match with the symbols (≥ for the vertical line and possibly < or ≤ for the other).
Question 25
The equation representing the points scenario is: \[ 2x + y \geq 4 \]
This is a solid line with a positive slope, and since we want to include all points above the line where the total score is at least 4, we have:
Solid line with negative slope, above the line shaded (second option).
