The region below $$\y = 2x + 3$$\$$ and above $$\$$y = -x + 1\.$$

Question 4

If a point $$(x, y)$$ satisfies only one inequality in a system, what can you conclude?

Accepted Answer

It is not a solution to the system.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

$$\30$$ \leq h \leq 40\$

Question 6

Which of the following best describes the solution set of a system of two linear inequalities in two variables?

Accepted Answer

The region where the shaded areas of both inequalities overlap.

Question 7

Suppose you are graphing the system $$\y$$ \u003e 2x - 1\$$ and $$\$$y \leq -x + 4\. $$What type of lines should you use for each inequality?

Accepted Answer

Dashed for $$\y$$ \u003e 2x - 1\$$ and solid for $$\$$y \leq -x + 4\.$$

Question 8

A nutritionist models a healthy weight region for adults using the system $$\4.9x - y$$ \leq 163\$$ and $$\$$3.7x - y \geq 125\$$, where $$\x$$\$$ is height in inches and $$\$$y\ is $$weight in pounds. What does the solution set represent?

Accepted Answer

All height and weight pairs that are considered healthy for adults.

Question 9

Which test point is commonly used to determine which region to shade when graphing a linear inequality, unless the boundary passes through it?

Accepted Answer

$$(0, 0)$$

Question 10

A system of inequalities is given by $$\y$$ \geq 2x - 5\$$ and $$\$$y \u003c -x + 4\. $$Which of the following points is in the solution set?
