So I have completed #1 and #2 but I'm stuck on #3 and it is the last one just looking for some help!!! Here's the graph: https://gyazo.com/cd3c4f698a30e5d56ac6c1e9c43392a5 Here's answers 1.) 2.) (I'm 99% sure these are right, you could check them if you'd like!) https://gyazo.com/9ff5aa6c06e302b630f3b9379259e144 And here's where I'm stuck :( https://gyazo.com/1e498d20073486a380909d89c988552e

OpenStudy (3mar):

Be sure of 1 and 2 100% now. They are correct, and you got the idea!

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

but, what's #3?

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

I'm so confused .-.

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

and hey 3mar.

OpenStudy (3mar):

And also you can model and formulate what you understand well, while others can't.

OpenStudy (3mar):

No for what you are stuck in:

OpenStudy (3mar):

Thank you for the medal!

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

could you explain why it's no?

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

i need a 2/3 sentence explanation.

OpenStudy (3mar):

Ok

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

wait

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

it can't be no

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

it's not a yes/no question

OpenStudy (3mar):

One of two: 1. the question is wrong about chairs, and it shold be tables. 2. It is correct and he just want you to express that it can't be and does not make sense. What you think?

OpenStudy (braindead):

Do you still need help with #3 @JamalJunior?

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

Yes

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

i dont think the question is wrong @3mar and i also dont think my teacher wants me to express anything here

OpenStudy (braindead):

Alright. It looks as if you know how to read the graph because I looked at #'s 1 and 2 and they look very good. So, do you have any ideas on how many tables they could build?

OpenStudy (3mar):

It is just one possibility! So what you think brain?

OpenStudy (braindead):

There are actually 3 different values for question 3.

OpenStudy (3mar):

Yes I have

OpenStudy (braindead):

@JamalJunior Do you have any educated guesses for the answer to question 3?

OpenStudy (3mar):

@JamalJunior

OpenStudy (3mar):

max. number of tables 21 with min number of chairs 2 or 15 tables with max. number of chairs 5 or least number of tables 9 with 3 chairs So what is the relation between these values and 15 chairs?

OpenStudy (3mar):

Can you discuss that with me, brain?

OpenStudy (braindead):

Are you talking to me? @3mar

OpenStudy (3mar):

Yes.

OpenStudy (3mar):

Then what?

OpenStudy (braindead):

This isn't my question, and I don't think it is yours. Why are you asking me questions?

OpenStudy (3mar):

to know! do you mind? or you don't know?

OpenStudy (braindead):

Well, I know the answer to JamalJunior's question. As for yours, you mistyped the information. max. number of tables 21 with min number of chairs 2 or 15 tables with max. number of chairs 5 or least number of tables 9 with 3 chairs So what is the relation between these values and 15 chairs? The x value represents the chairs, and the y value represents the tables. So, if they built 21 chairs, then they could only build 2 tables. Also, none of this is relevant to his question. His question asks how many tables could be possibly built if the company had 15 chairs. There are 3 different possibilities which can be easily read from the graph. So, is there anything else you want to know from me?

OpenStudy (braindead):

The shaded region, or feasible region, is all possibilities. So, to find the answer to his question we just need to follow the chairs up to 15 (x value) and then look at which y values are in the shaded region with the x values.

OpenStudy (3mar):

You know? just this make a difference: "The x value represents the chairs" So let me thank you firstly. But actually, there are 4 possible number of tables, not only 3. am I right?

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

I'm so confused .-,

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

could someone tell me the answer .-.

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

it seems like everyone is confused

OpenStudy (3mar):

Easy Jamal. Brain clarified it well.

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

So is it 3 tables or 4

OpenStudy (3mar):

Take that, It will show you.

OpenStudy (braindead):

You have 4 different options that 3mar shows you in the picture. It is 2,3,4, and 5

OpenStudy (3mar):

I really appreciate your illustration, @BrainDead!

OpenStudy (braindead):

You did the illustration, I did more of an explanation.

OpenStudy (3mar):

The most important thing that @JamalJunior got the idea ;) Did you JamalJunior?

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

5 Tables, 15 chairs, yes?

OpenStudy (braindead):

5 is not the only answer. The question has 4 different answer choices. Hence why the question asks you for ALL possible answers.

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

Ohhh. I see

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

What should I write as my explaination

OpenStudy (3mar):

What BrainDead has explained: The shaded region, or feasible region, is all possibilities. So, to find the answer to his question we just need to follow the chairs up to 15 (x value) and then look at which y values are in the shaded region with the x values. The question has 4 different answer choices. Hence why the question asks you for ALL possible answers. You have 4 different options shown in the picture. These are 2,3,4, and 5.

OpenStudy (mathmate):

@jamaljunior Glad that you got the help you needed from @3mar and @braindead. Congrats. Perhaps it was not explained to you, but there is a very important observation you need to make: - When a boundary of the shaded region is a SOLID line (as is the case here), any point falling on the boundary line is IN the feasible region. - When a boundary of the shaded region is a DOTTED line, any pint falling on the boundary line is OUTSIDE of the feasible region. - When a point falls on the intersection of a DOTTED and a SOLID line, the point is OUTSIDE of the feasible region. Also, as @3mar was wondering also, I do not understand why or how you got the first two questions answered perfectly, as if you understood the concept, but get stumped with #3.
