Vocabulary

Define the term in your own words

1. half-plane

A half-plane is half of a coordinate plane which represents the graph of a linear inequality. A line determined by the inequality divides the plane into two half-planes and the inequality symbol indicates which half-plane contains the solutions.

Problem Set

Write a linear inequality in two variables to represent each problem situation.

1. Tanya is baking zucchini muffins and pumpkin muffins for a school event. She needs at least 500 muffins for the event.

x 1 y 500

2. Hiro needs to buy new pens and pencils for school. Pencils cost $1 each and pens cost $2.50 each. He has $10 to spend.

x 1 2.5y 10

3. Patti makes decorative flower pots. It costs her $20 to purchase the materials for each pot. She wants to charge more than $6 per hour of labor plus her materials cost for each pot.

y . 6x 1 20

4. Jose and Devon are working on a construction job together. Devon can put in 4 times as many hours per week as Jose. Together they must work at least 80 hours per week.

4x 1 y 80

5. The Foxes are playing the Titans. The Titans have been scoring 28 or more points per game this season. Between 7-point touchdowns and 3-point field goals, the Foxes need to score more than the Titan’s lowest score to have a hope of winning the game.

Graph each inequality and determine if the ordered pair is a solution for the problem situation.

27. Marcus has 50 tokens to spend at the school carnival. The Ferris wheel costs 7 tokens and the carousel costs 5 tokens. The inequality 7x 1 5y # 50 represents the possible ways Marcus could use his tokens on the two rides. Is the ordered pair (6, 3) a solution for the problem situation?

No. The ordered pair (6, 3) is not a solution to the inequality. It is not in the shaded half-plane.

28. Sophia has $2 to buy oranges and apples. Oranges cost $0.45 each and apples cost $0.25 each. The inequality 0.45x 1 0.25y # 2 represents the possible ways Sophia could spend her $2. Is the ordered pair (2, 3) a solution for the problem situation?

Yes. The ordered pair (2, 3) is a solution to the inequality. It is in the shaded half-plane.

29. Noah plays football. His team’s goal is to score at least 15 points per game. A touchdown is worth 6 points and a field goal is worth 3 points. Noah’s league does not allow teams to try for the extra point after a touchdown. The inequality 6x 1 3y $ 15 represents the possible ways Noah’s team could score points to reach their goal. Is the ordered pair (6, 21) a solution for the problem situation?

No. The ordered pair (6, 21) is not a solution for the problem situation. It is in the correct shaded half-plane, but it is not a reasonable answer because Noah’s team cannot score a negative number of field goals.

30. Lea has $5 to buy notebooks and pens. Notebooks cost $1.25 each and pens cost $0.75 each. The inequality 1.25x 1 0.75y # 5 represents the possible ways Lea could spend her $5. Is the ordered pair (5, 2) a solution for the problem situation?

No. The ordered pair (5, 2) is not a solution to the inequality. It is not in the shaded half-plane.

31. Leon has $10 to buy squash and carrots. Squash cost $1.50 each and carrots cost $2.75 per bunch. The inequality 1.50x 1 2.75y # 10 represents the possible ways Leon could spend his $10. Is the ordered pair (22, 4) a solution for the problem situation?

No. The ordered pair (22, 4) is not a solution for the problem situation. It is in the correct shaded half-plane, but it is not a reasonable answer because Leon cannot purchase a negative nmber of squash.

32. Olivia makes and sells muffins and scones at a school bake sale. She sells muffins for $0.50 each and scones for $0.80 each. She hopes to raise at least $20. The inequality 0.50x 1 0.80y $ 20 represents the possible ways Olivia could reach her goal. Is the ordered pair (20, 32) a solution for the problem situation?

Yes. The ordered pair (20, 32) is a solution to the inequality. It is in the shaded half-plane.

Name Date

Working the SystemSystems of Linear Inequalities

Vocabulary

Define each term in your own words.

1. constraints

The inequalities in a system of linear inequalities are known as constraints because the values of the expressions are “constrained” to lie within a certain region.

2. solution of a system of linear inequalities

The solution of a system of linear inequalities is the intersection of the solutions to each inequality in the system.

Problem Set

Write a system of linear inequalities that represents each problem situation. Remember to define your variables.

1. Jamal runs the bouncy house at a festival. The bouncy house can hold a maximum of 1200 pounds at one time. He estimates that adults weigh approximately 200 pounds and children under 16 weigh approximately 100 pounds. For 1 four-minute session of bounce time, Jamal charges adults $3 each and children $2 each. Jamal hopes to charge at least $24 for each session.

Analyze the solution set for the system of linear inequalities to answer each question.

Pedro is shopping for a surfboard. The regular price of a surfboard is between $200 and $400. The store is running a special promotion where all surfboards are between 20% and 60% off the regular price. The system of linear inequalities represents the amount Pedro can save.

Let r represent the regular price.

Let s represent the amount Pedro can save.

r $ 200 r # 400

s # 0.60r

s $ 0.20r

13. What is the most that Pedro can save?

The most Pedro can save is $240 represented by the point (400, 240).

14. What is the least that Pedro can save?

The least Pedro can save is $40 represented by the point (200, 40).

15. What is the most that Pedro will pay for the most expensive surfboard?

The least amount Pedro will save on the most expensive surfboard is $80 as represented by the point (400, 80).

400 2 80 5 320

So, the most he will pay is $320.
