Procedure for Solving Equations Graphically

1. Graph each equation on the same set of axes

2. Circle the points where the graphs intersect. These are your solutions.

3. Write the solution as an ordered pair in parentheses (x, y).

4. Check your solutions

Find the solutions to the following system of equations graphically then determine whether each system is consistent or inconsistent and if it is independent or dependent:

TO CHECK ON YOUR GRAPHING CALCULATOR (FIND INTERSECTION):

1) Go to (Calculate) and pick (intersection)

2) Move cursor to wanted intersection point

4. Use your calculator to check the previous examples.

5. Use your calculator to solve the following systems of equations:

5a. 2x - 2y = 5 5b. x – 2y = -4

4x – 4y = 9 4y = 2x +8

SOLVING SYSTEMS ALGEBRAICALLY – WORD PROBLEMS (DAY 4)

1. At a quick – lunch counter, 6 pretzels and 2 cup of soda costs $5.50. Two pretzels and 1 cup of soda cost $2.00. Find the cost of a pretzel and the cost of a cup of soda.

2. Your family is planning a 7-day trip to Florida. You estimate that it will cost $275 per day in Tampa and $400 per day in Orlando. Your total budget for the 7 days is $2300. How many days should you spend in each location?

3. At a bakery, one customer pays $5.67 for 3 bagels and 4 muffins. Another customer pays $6.70 for 5 bagels and 3 muffins. How much does a single bagel and a single muffin cost?

4. A gardener combines x fluid ounces of a 20% liquid fertilizer and 80% water mix with y fluid ounces of a 5% liquid fertilizer and 95% water mix to make 30 fluid ounces of a 10% liquid fertilizer and 90% water mix.

Write a system of linear equations that represents the situation and solve.

5. The measure of the larger of two complementary angles is 6( less than twice the measure of the smaller angle. Find the degree measure of each angle.

SOLVING SYSTEMS GRAPHICALLY – WORD PROBLEMS (DAY 5)

1. Next weekend Maggie wants to attend either carnival A or carnival B. Carnival A charges $6 for admission and an additional $1.50 per ride. Carnival B charges $2.50 for admission and an additional $2 per ride.

a. In function notation, write A(x) to represent the total cost of attending carnival A and going on x rides. In function notation, write B(x) to represent the total cost of attending carnival B and going on x rides.

b. Determine the number of rides Maggie can go on such that the total cost of attending each carnival is the same.[Use of the set of axes below]

c. Maggie wants to go on five rides. Determine which carnival would have the lower total cost. Justify your answer.

2. Next week Susie wants to attend either Darien Lake or Cedar Point. Darien Lake charges $45 for admission and an additional $2.50 per game. Cedar Point charges $55 for admission and an additional $2 per game.

a. In function notation, write D(x) to represent the total cost of attending Darien Lake and playing x games. In function notation, write C(x) to represent the total cost of attending Cedar Point and playing x games.

b. Determine the number of games Susie can play such that the total cost of attending each park is the same.[Use of the set of axes below]

c. Susie wants to go play 12 games. Determine which park would have the lower total cost. Justify your answer.

3. You are purchasing jeans and T-shirts. Jeans cost $35 and T-shirts cost $15. You only have $115 to spend and plan on purchasing a total of 5 items.

[pic]

a. Write a system of equations that models the situation.

b. Solve the system graphically. Show appropriate scale and label axis appropriately.

c. How many pairs of jeans and how many T-shirts can you buy?

d. Explain why a point in the fourth quadrant does not satisfy the system.

4. You have a jar of pennies and quarters. You want to choose 15 coins that are worth exactly $4.35.

a. Write a system of equations that models this situation.

b. Solve the system graphically. Show appropriate scale and label axis appropriately.

c. Is your solution reasonable in terms of the original problem? Explain.

SOLVING SYSTEMS: MONEY/PERCENT WORD PROBLEMS (Day 6)

1. Your cousin borrowed $6000, some on a home-equity loan at an interest rate of 11% and the rest on a computer loan at and interest rate of 9.5%. Her total interest paid was $645. How much did she borrow at each rate?

2. Cody invested a sum of money in a certificate of deposit yielding 5% a year and another sum in bonds yielding 7% a year. A total of $10,000 is invested. If the combined annual income is $644, how much of the $10,000 did Cody invest at each rate?

3. Irene has $4.50 in her coin bank in nickels and dimes. The number of dimes is twice the number of nickels. How many coins of each type does Irene have?

4. A purse contains $7.60 in quarters and dimes. In all, there are 40 coins. How many of each kind are there?

SOLVING SYSTEMS OF INEQUALITIES (Day 7)

c. Find the area of the solution region

SOLVING SYSTEMS OF INEQUALITIES – Word Problems (Day 8)

1. For a hiking trip, you are making a mix of x ounces of peanuts and y ounces of chocolate pieces. You want the mix to have less than 70 grams of fat and weigh less than 8 ounces. An ounce of peanuts has 14 grams of fat, and an ounce of chocolate pieces has 7 grams of fat. Write and graph a system of inequalities that models the situation.

2. You are fishing in a marina for perch and rockfish, which are two species of bottomfish. Gaming laws in the marina allow you to catch no more than 15 perch, no more than 10 rockfish per day, and no more than 15 total bottomfish per day. Write and graph a system of inequalities that model the situation.

Mike makes $7 an hour working at the grocery store and $10 an hour delivering newspapers. He cannot work more than 20 hours per week. Graph two inequalities that Mike can use to determine how many hours he needs to work at his job if he wants to earn at least $90.

There are TWO additional things to think about when graphing inequalities.

They are __________________________ and ________________________.

• RECALL: to determine which side of the line to shade, pick a_____________

• To identify the solution, place an “S” in the area that is double shaded.

• To check your answers, choose a point that falls within the ___________________

and then substitute it back into both of the equations (it must come out TRUE for both)
