5
Standard Form of Word Problems Define variables Write out the system Graph the inequalities Write 2 possible solutions
6
Word Problem #1 You can work a total of no more than 41 hours each week at your two jobs. Housecleaning pays $5 per hour and your sales job pays $8 per hour. You need to earn at least $254 each week to pay your bills. Write a system of inequalities that shows the various numbers of hours you can work at each job. x = housecleaning hours y = sales job hours Hours: x + y ≤ 41 Money:5x + 8y ≥ 254
7
Word Problem #2 Fuel x costs $2 per gallon and fuel y costs $3 per gallon. You have at most $18 to spend on fuel. Write and graph a system of linear inequalities to represent this situation. x = gallons of fuel x y = gallons of fuel y Price:2x + 3y ≤ 18 Gallons of x:x ≥0 Gallons of y: y ≥ 0
8
Word Problem #2 Graphing… Price:2x + 3y ≤ 18 Gallons of x:x ≥0 Gallons of y: y ≥ 0 Think about your intercepts when graphing the first inequality
9
Word Problem #2 Graphing… Price:2x + 3y ≤ 18 Gallons of x:x ≥0 Gallons of y: y ≥ 0 The shaded region are All the possible solutions That satisfy each inequality Possible answers ( 1,1) (2, 4) (0,6)
10
Word Problem #3 A salad contains ham and chicken. There are at most 6 pounds of ham and chicken in the salad. Write and graph a system of inequalities to represent this situation. x = lbs of ham y = lbs of chicken Total Pounds: x + y ≤ 6 Pounds of ham:x ≥ 0 Pounds of chicken: y ≥ 0
11
Word Problem #3 Graphing… Total Pounds: x + y ≤ 6 Pounds of ham:x ≥ 0 Pounds of chicken: y ≥ 0 Remember we cannot have negative lbs!! Possible solutions 1 lb of ham and 1 lb of chicken 3 lbs of ham and 2lbs of chicken
