List the irrational #’s in the 1st column above

Applications:

Linear:

Example: The sum of 2 consecutive odd integers is -56. Find the integers.

Answer: -27 & -29

Example: Suppose you plan to borrow $6000 from 2 lenders to pay for your tuition next year. One lender charges 10% simple interest and the other charges 4% simple interest. How much did you borrow from each lender if you paid a total of $391.83 in interest after 1 year?

Answer: $2530.50 from the 10% lender and $3469.50 from the 4% lender.

Example: Suppose you invested $5000 into 2 accounts, a CD paying 6% simple interest and a stock paying 8% simple interest. If you receive $706.40 in interest after 2 years, how much was invested in each account?

a) Set up as a an equation in one variable and solve

b) Set it up as a system of equations and solve.

Answer: a) Let x = amt in CD. Then

0.06x*2 + (5000 – x) * .08*2 = 706.4

b) Let x = amt in CD and y = amt in stock

x + y = 5000

0.06x*2 + 0.08y*2 = 706.4 or .12x + .16y = 706.4

CD: $2340; Stock: $2660

Example: How many liters of 40% antifreeze should be added to 4 L of a 10% antifreeze solution to produce a 35% antifreeze solution?

b) Set it up as a system of equations and solve.

Answer: a) Equation: Let x = amt of 40% antifreeze soln

0.40x + 0.10*4 = 0.35 ( 4+x)

b)Equation: Let x = amt of 40% antifreeze soln, and y be the amt of 35% soln

x + 4 = y

0.40x + 0.10*4 = 0.35*y

Answer: 20 L of 40% solution

Example: How many liters of 2.5% bleach should be added to a 10% bleach solution to produce 600 ml a 5% bleach solution?

b) Set it up as a system of equations and solve.

Answer: a) Equation: Let x = amt of 2.5% bleach soln

0.025x + (600-x)0.10 = 0.05 *600

b)Equation: Let x = amt of of 2.5% bleach soln and y be the amt of 10% soln

x + y = 600

0.025x + 0.10y = 0.05*600

Answer: 400 ml of 2.5% and 200 ml of 10%

b)Equation: Let x = amt of Columbian coffee and y be the amt of Hazelnut coffee

x + y = 10

5.10x + 6.4y = 0.1*5.85

Answer: 4.23 lbs Columbian and 5.77 lbs Hazelnut
