@jim_thompson5910 please help me finish?!i only have three more but i only need the last part on some

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

post what you have so far

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for part a i said no because an x value cant have two y values

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that right?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

good, x = 1 corresponds to both y = 2, y = 4

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so that's why it's not a function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay cool. now my second question. ill attacht it one second

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Part A: What is the solution to the pair of equations represented by p(x) and f(x)? (3 points) Part B: Write any two solutions for f(x). (3 points) Part C: What is the solution to the equation p(x) = g(x)? Justify your answer. (4 points)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just need part c on that one^

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

p(x) = g(x) means that the two functions p(x) and g(x) have the same y value (for some given x value between the two) essentially, that all boils down to the point of intersection between p(x) and g(x)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

specifically, they want the x value of this intersection point

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(-6,1) so x=-6??

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

correct

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

x = -6 makes p(x) = g(x) true

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i only say x=-6 not the whole (x,y)?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

let's come up with random equations for p(x) and g(x) let's say p(x) = 2x, g(x) = 3-x so when we say p(x) = g(x) we really mean 2x = 3 - x the solution to that will be x = some number which is the same solution to p(x) = g(x)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so you can see they only care about x = -6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

awesome sounds easier now(= heres my last question that i need part a,b,c help on if thats okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Part A: Using the graph above, create a system of inequalities that only contain points C and F in the overlapping shaded regions. Explain how the lines will be graphed and shaded on the coordinate grid above. (5 points) Part B: Explain how to verify that the points C and F are solutions to the system of inequalities created in Part A. (3 points) Part C: Natalie can only attend a school in her designated zone. Natalie's zone is defined by y < -2x + 2. Explain how you can identify the schools that Natalie is allowed to attend. (2 points)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

there are an infinite number of ways to tackle part A, but the easiest I see is to find two inequalities that overlap in the first quadrant

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so we just make up our own two?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yep, that is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do you go about doing that though? obviously they both would have to be greater than?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

in the first quadrant, what set of x values are allowed?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

possitive numbers? greater then 1 ??

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

why not greater than 0?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so x > 0 what about y?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y can also be greater than zero or 1 right?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

y > 0

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

put together, x > 0 y > 0 they both define the 1st quadrant

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

they both need to be true to be in the right quadrant

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

that's not the only possible system, but probably the easiest to spot

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so for the first equation ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you're dealing with inequalities, not equations

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay sorry i forgot

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

hopefully you see how I got that system

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i can use those as my system of inequalities?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you can, but it's not the only one you can use

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

do you see how the system works? how it graphs to overlap in just the 1st quadrant

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it says they can only inclue the points C and F do they include E?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes i do understand no how it works(=

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

where are you getting E? I thought it was just C and F

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is im just making sure they dont include E

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

oh, I don't see E, so I don't think E is part of what they want

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does x is greater than 0 pass through C?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what is the x coordinate of point C?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=2

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

does that make x > 0 true ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay im seeing it now.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you sos much for your help(=

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

do the same for the y coordinate of C

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

and you'll find it makes y > 0 true as well

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you repeat that for any point you want to test
