- Height and Weight For a healthy person who is 4 feet 10 inches tall, the recommended minimum weight is about 91 pounds and increases by about 3.6 pounds for each additional inch of height. The recommended maximum weight is about 115 pounds and increases by about 4.5 pounds for each additional inch of height. (a) Let x be the number of inches by which a person’s height exceeds 4 feet 10 inches and let y be the person’s weight (in pounds). Write a system of inequalities that describes the possible values of x and y for a healthy person. (b) Use a graphing utility to graph the system of inequalities from part (a). (c) What is the recommended weight range for a healthy person who is 6 feet tall?arrow_forwardTension needs to eat at least an extra 1,000 calories a day to prepare for running a marathon. He has only $25 to spend on the extra food he needs and will spend it on $0.75 donuts which have 360 calories each and $2 energy drinks which have 110 calories. (a) Write a system of inequalities that models this situation. (b) Graph the system. (c) Can he buy 8 donuts and 4 energy drinks and satisfy his caloric needs? (d) Can he buy 1 donut and 3 energy drinks and satisfy his caloric needs?arrow_forwardTension needs to eat at least an extra 1,000 calories a day to prepare for running a marathon.

- A trailer can carry a maximum weight of 160 pounds and a maximum volume of 15 cubic feet. A microwave oven weighs 30 pounds and has 2 cubic feet of volume, while a printer weighs 20 pounds and has 3 cubic feet of space. (a) Write a system of inequalities to model this situation. (b) Graph the system. (c) Could 4 microwaves and 2 printers be carried on this trailer? (d) Could 7 microwaves and 3 printers be carried on this trailer?arrow_forwardApplications Fundraising A college club is selling baskets of fruit and blocks of cheese to raise at least 600 for a local childrens hospital. a. If the profit for selling a basket of fruit is 5 and for selling a block of cheese 6, write a system of inequalities that describes when x boxes of fruit and y blocks of cheese will cause the fundraising goal to be reached. Hint: Remember that a negative number of baskets of fruit or blocks of cheese cannot be sold. b. Graph the system of inequalities.arrow_forward
