Study Notes

  • The following content focuses on solving and graphing inequalities.

Solving Mixed Inequalities

  • Given inequality: (3/4)(12x – 8) - (x + 3) > k − 16((k+5)/2)

Solving the inequality for k = 7

  • Substitute k = 7 to yield: (3/4)(12x – 8) - (x + 3) > 7 − 16((7+5)/2)
  • Then simplify and solve for x.

Finding the Smallest Even Integer

  • Determine the smallest even integer that satisfies the solved inequality from the previous step.

Budget Allocation Problem

  • Elaine has a budget of $1800 for a party planner and a DJ
  • The DJ costs $220 per hour and the party planner $75 per hour.
  • If the DJ is hired for 4 hours, the goal is to find the maximum number of whole hours for which the party planner can be hired within the budget.

Hurricane Relief Fundraiser

  • Justine is purchasing flashlights to donate to charity
  • She is buying single flashlights and 4-packs of flashlights.
  • She wants to donate at least 16 flashlights.

Defining Variables and Inequality

  • Define appropriate variables for single flashlights and 4-packs of flashlights
  • Then formulate an inequality that represents wanting at least 16 flashlights.

Graphing the Inequality

  • Graph the inequality for the flashlight situation on a coordinate plane
  • Ensure the axes are appropriately scaled and labeled.

Minimum Amount of 4-Packs

  • Determine the minimum number of 4-packs needed to buy 3 individual flashlights
  • Solve algebraically.

Solving and Graphing Inequalities

  • Solve the inequality 2 - (3/4)x > -4
  • Graph the solution on a number line.

Finding Integers in an Interval

  • Determine all integers within the interval [1, 17) that satisfy the inequality 2 - (3/4)x > -4.

Solving Inequalities

  • Solve 6x ≥ 2x
  • Solve 3x + 5 > 3x - 4
  • Solve 2(x - 5) + 4x ≥ 6x + 11
  • Solve x/7 - (2x+3)/2 > (x+1)/14 + 3

Analyzing a Given Inequality Graphically

  • Given an inequality and its corresponding graph, perform the following:
  • State the inequality represented by the graph.
  • Select a point on the boundary line, substitute its coordinates into the inequality, and check if it satisfies the inequality.
  • Algebraically determine if the point (1,5) is a solution to the inequality.
  • Graphically determine if the point (-1,-6) is a solution to the inequality.

Stating an Inequality from a Graph

  • Given a graph, determine the inequality it represents.

Coin Problem

  • Jacob has three less dimes than nickels, and the number of quarters he has is one less than twice the number of nickels.
  • He needs a minimum of $5.25 to buy a new deck of cards.
  • Find the minimum amount of each coin he needs to make the purchase.

Graphing Linear Equations and Inequalities

  • Graph the linear equation y + 4 = -(1/2)(x - 5).
  • Graph the linear inequality 12x - 36y > 72.

Budget Problem

  • Lauren is buying chocolates for $4 each and fruit baskets for $12 each, and wants to spend at most $60
  • You must define the variables and the inequality

Determine if Buying Six of Each is Possible

  • Check if buying 6 of each item is possible within the $60 limit, justifying algebraically.

Graphing

  • Graph inequality

Analyzing a Point on the Boundary Line

  • Select a point on the boundary line of the graph and explain its meaning in the context of the question.
