medal and fan please help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Samuel has to sell concert tickets worth at least $90. The price of a child ticket is $8, and the price of an adult ticket is $15. Let y be the number of child tickets sold and x be the number of adult tickets sold. Which of the following graphs best models this situation?
idk, i got it wrong before
Please help me @GreenCat @GracieBugg @Nnesha @xapproachesinfinity @kiamousekia @cecormier @Jaseelson
what did you get ?? show ur work plz :)
first translate the words into inequality
what does at least 90 mean?
so do we agree that it would be >=90
x is the number of adult so the total tickets sold for adult s would be 15x similarly y # of kids 8y is the total tickets sold to them so we 15x+8y>=90 yes
ok
now to find the solution for this inequality you will need to draw the line with equation 15x+8y=90
ok so it would be
well you tell me what it would be :)
you know how to sketch a line don't you?
yeah one sec i'm working it out :)
okay:)
I think it would be B
why?
you still have to test a point and where the solution are if the point we test didn't satisfy the inequality the solutions must be in the other side of that point
oh ok
don't just guess
work out the solution and be very sure it is the answer :)
you need obviously to draw your solution and forget there options you draw the line whose equation is 15x+8y=90 test a point and decide the the solution set
ok
to draw a line you only need to points
yes, ok
wait, will it be greater than?
didn't you pay attention to what i did i said at least means >=
ok sorry
did you draw the line yet?
the graph should be http://prntscr.com/6sg9bz all you need is two points to sketch it why taking too long
now test a point (0,0) is good
sorry, i'm trying to do 2 questions at once, sorry
keep in mind here we don't not deal with negative part of the xy plane
ok so now I'm just doing this one
ok
as that wouldn't make sense at all in this real life problem
ok
So it's A or B
yes one of them you decide after testing a point
ok
let me see you work it out :)
don' expect answer all the time, you need to work as well if you want to learn that is
so have you considered 0,0
yeah
so show the result then
I think it's A because
okay and the reason is remember math does not believe in i guess either strongly yes or no
ok
Thank you, sorry i wasn't doing a good job doing it with u because i was trying to do another one at the same time
hehe well that is no good my dear :) you letting me do your work! you need to focus entirely on understanding one at least before attempting anything else
yeah, it's just I have sooo much work to do today, I guess I'm not going to do it well if I can't focus on it XD
Normally I do it with whoever is helping me
look my point is i will give yu the answer, but what does that do to you eventually you get stuck with more problem to come and nobody is willing to do others work all the time. So instead learn it yourself here and you will never have any difficulty later :)
If i'm harsh then I'm sorry!
yup, i agree
u aren't harsh!
so back to our story when i asked you to test a point I'm basically telling pluggin the x and y of that point into our inequality and check if it works so i said 0,0 is good for our test, in fact any other point would do 15(0)+8(0)=0>=90 we ask is zero greater than 90?
sure it is not!
then the conclusion is the solution are on the other side of the line including the line itself since we greater than or "equal"
Do you understand!
yes, sorry!!
