Functions and Equations in Two Variables
6.1 Evaluate functions of two variables Understand basic concepts about systems of equations in two variables Apply the method of substitution Apply graphical and numerical methods to systems of equations Solve problems involving joint variation Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley

Introduction Many quantities in everyday life depend on more than one variable. Examples Area of a rectangle requires both width and length. Heat index is the function of temperature and humidity. Wind chill is determined by calculating the temperature and wind speed. Grade point average is computed using grades and credit hours. Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley

Functions in Two Variables
The arithmetic operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are computed by functions of two inputs. The addition function of f can be represented symbolically by f(x,y) = x + y, where z = f(x,y). The independent variables are x and y. The dependent variable is z. The z output depends on the inputs x and y. Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley

Example For each function, evaluate the expression and interpret the result. f(5, –2) where f(x,y) = xy A(6,9), where calculates the area of a triangle with a base of 6 inches and a height of 9 inches. Solution f(5, –2) = (5)(–2) = –10. A(6,9) = If a triangle has a base of 6 inches and a height of 9 inches, the area of the triangle is 27 square inches. Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc.

Example The equation V = lwh is the volume of a rectangular box.
Solve V = lwh for l. Find l when w = 6.5 ft, h = 9 ft, and V = ft3 . Solution a) b) Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley

Systems of Equations A linear equation in two variables can be written in the form ax + by = k, where a, b, and k are constants, and a and b are not equal to 0. A pair of equations is called a system of linear equations because they involve solving more than one linear equation at once. A solution to a system of equations consists of an x-value and a y-value that satisfy both equations simultaneously. The set of all solutions is called the solution set. Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley

Example Solve the system symbolically. Solution
Step 1: Solve one of the equations for one of the variables. Step 2: Substitute for y in the second equation. Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley

Solution continued Step 3: Substitute x = 1 into the equation
from Step 1. We find that Check: The ordered pair is (1, 2) since the solutions check in both equations. Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley

Example Solve the system. Solution Solve the second equation for y.
Substitute 4x + 2 for y in the first equation, solving for x. The equation 4 = 4 is an identity that is always true and indicates that there are infinitely many solutions. The two equations are equivalent. Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley

Example The volume of a cylindrical container with a radius r and height h is computed by The lateral surface area S of the container, excluding the circular top and bottom, is computed by Write a system of equations whose solutions is the dimensions for the cylinder with a volume of 50 cubic centimeters and a lateral surface area of 130 square centimeters. Solve the system of equations graphically and symbolically. Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley

Example continued Solution
The equation V(r,h) = 50 and S(r,h) = 130 must be satisfied. This results in the following system of nonlinear equations. Graphic Solution Let r correspond to x and h to y. Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley

Joint Variation A quantity may depend on more than one variable.

Example The area of a triangle varies jointly as the lengths of the base and the height. A triangle with base 20 inches and height of 8 inches has area 80 square inches. Find the area of a triangle with base 9 centimeters and height 12 centimeters. Solution Let A represent the area, b the base, and h the height of the triangle. Then A = kbh for some number k. Since A = 80 when b is 20 and h is 8, Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley

Solution continued The familiar formula for the area of a triangle is found. So, when b = 9 centimeters and h = 12 centimeters, Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley

Systems of Equations and Inequalities in Two Variables
6.2 Recognize different types of linear systems Apply the elimination method Solve systems of linear and nonlinear inequalities Learn basic concepts of linear programming Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley

Example Use elimination to solve each system of equations, if possible. Identify the system as consistent or inconsistent. If the system is consistent, state whether the equations are dependent or independent. Support your results graphically. a) 3x  y = 7 b) 5x  y = 8 c) x  y = 5 5x + y = 5x + y =  x  y =  2 Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley

Example continued Solution a) Eliminate y by adding the equations.
Find y by substituting x = 2 in either equation. The solution is (2, 1). The system is consistent and the equations are independent. Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley

Solution continued b) If we add the equations we obtain the
following result. The equation 0 = 0 is an identity that is always true The two equations are equivalent There are infinitely many solutions. {(x, y)| 5x  y = 8} Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley

Solution continued c) If we subtract the second equation from
the first, we obtain the following result. The equation 0 = 7 is a contradiction that is never true. Therefore there are no solutions, and the system is inconsistent. Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley

Example Solve the system by using elimination. Solution
Multiply the first equation by 3 and the second equation by 4. Addition eliminates the y-variable. Substituting x = 3 in 2x + 3y = 12 results in 2(3) + 3y = 12 or y = 2 The solution is (3, 2). Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley

Example Solve the system of equations. Solution
Multiply the first equation by 3 and add the second equation, the variable y2 is eliminated. Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley

Systems of Linear and Nonlinear Inequalities
The graph of a linear inequality is a half-plane, which may include the boundary. The boundary line is included when the inequality includes a less than or equal to or greater than or equal to symbol. To determine which part of the plane to shade, select a test point. Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley

Example Graph the solution set to the inequality x + 4y > 4.
Graph the line x + 4y = 4 using a dashed line. Use a test point to determine which half of the plane to shade. Test Point x + 4y > 4 True or False? (4, 2) 4 + 4(2) > 4 True (0, 0) 0 + 4(0) > 4 False Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley

Example Graph the solution set to the inequality x2 + y ≤ 4. Solution
Graph the parabola determined by y = 4  x2 using a solid line. Use a test point to determine which half of the plane to shade. Test Point x2 + y ≤ 4 True or False? (0, 0) ≤ 4 True (3, 1) ≤ 4 False Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley

Example Solve the system of inequalities by shading the solution set. Use the graph to identify one solution. x + y ≤ 3 2x + y  4 Solution Solve each inequality for y. y ≤ x + 3 (shade below line) y  2x + 4 (shade above line) The point (4, 2) is a solution.

Linear Programming Linear programming is a procedure used to optimize quantities such as cost and profit. A linear programming problem consists of a linear objective function and a system of linear inequalities called constraints. The solution set for the system of linear inequalities is called the set of feasible solutions. Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley

Example Suppose a small company manufactures two products—VCR’s and DVD players. Each VCR results in a $15 profit and each DVD player provides a profit of $50. Due to demand, the company must produce at least 10 and not more than 50 VCR’s per day. The number of VCR’s cannot exceed the number of DVD players, and the number of DVD players cannot exceed 60. How many of each type should the company manufacture to obtain the maximum profit? Solution Let x = VCR and y = DVD The total daily profit P is given by P = 15x + 50y Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley

Example continued The company produces from 10 to 50 VCR’s per day, so the inequalities x  10 and x ≤ 50 must be satisfied. VCR’s cannot exceed DVD players and the number of DVD players cannot exceed 60 indicate that x ≤ y and y ≤ 60. The number of VCR’s and DVD players cannot be negative so x  0 and y  0. Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley

Example continued Graph the constraints. The shaded region is the set of feasible solutions. The maximum value of P is 3750 at vertex (50, 60). The maximum profit occurs when 50 VCR’s and 60 DVD players are manufactured. Vertex P = 15x + 50y (10, 10) 15(10) + 50(10) =650 (10, 60) 15(10) + 50(60) = 3150 (50, 60) 15(50) + 50(60) = 3750 (50, 50) 15(50) + 50(50) = 3250 Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc.
