Which of the following would be a solution to the inequality 3š„ + 2š¦ ā„ 7?
a) (0, 0)
b) (ā 1, 5)
c) (0, ā 4)
d) (2, 0)
To determine which of the given points is a solution to the inequality 3š„ + 2š¦ ā„ 7, we substitute the x- and y-coordinates of each point into the inequality and check if it is true.
a) (0, 0):
3(0) + 2(0) = 0 + 0 = 0
Since 0 is not greater than or equal to 7, (0, 0) is not a solution.
b) (ā 1, 5):
3(-1) + 2(5) = -3 + 10 = 7
Since 7 is greater than or equal to 7, (ā 1, 5) is a solution.
c) (0, ā 4):
3(0) + 2(-4) = 0 - 8 = -8
Since -8 is not greater than or equal to 7, (0, ā 4) is not a solution.
d) (2, 0):
3(2) + 2(0) = 6 + 0 = 6
Since 6 is not greater than or equal to 7, (2, 0) is not a solution.
Therefore, the only solution to the inequality 3š„ + 2š¦ ā„ 7 is (ā 1, 5), option b).
To find the solution to the inequality 3š„ + 2š¦ ā„ 7, we can substitute the given values from each option into the inequality and check if it is true or false. Let's go through each option:
a) (0, 0):
Substituting x = 0 and y = 0 into the inequality:
3(0) + 2(0) ā„ 7
0 ā„ 7
This is false, so (0, 0) is not a solution.
b) (ā 1, 5):
Substituting x = -1 and y = 5 into the inequality:
3(-1) + 2(5) ā„ 7
-3 + 10 ā„ 7
7 ā„ 7
This is true, so (ā 1, 5) is a solution.
c) (0, ā 4):
Substituting x = 0 and y = -4 into the inequality:
3(0) + 2(-4) ā„ 7
0 - 8 ā„ 7
-8 ā„ 7
This is false, so (0, ā 4) is not a solution.
d) (2, 0):
Substituting x = 2 and y = 0 into the inequality:
3(2) + 2(0) ā„ 7
6 + 0 ā„ 7
6 ā„ 7
This is false, so (2, 0) is not a solution.
Therefore, the only solution to the inequality 3š„ + 2š¦ ā„ 7 is option b) (ā 1, 5).
To find a solution to the inequality 3š„ + 2š¦ ā„ 7, we need to check if each of the given options satisfies the inequality. Let's substitute the values for š„ and š¦ in each option into the given inequality and see which options satisfy it.
a) For option (0, 0):
Substituting š„ = 0 and š¦ = 0 into the inequality, we have:
3(0) + 2(0) ā„ 7
0 ā„ 7
Since 0 is not greater than or equal to 7, option (0, 0) does not satisfy the inequality.
b) For option (ā1, 5):
Substituting š„ = ā1 and š¦ = 5 into the inequality, we have:
3(ā1) + 2(5) ā„ 7
ā3 + 10 ā„ 7
7 ā„ 7
Since 7 is equal to 7, option (ā1, 5) satisfies the inequality.
c) For option (0, ā4):
Substituting š„ = 0 and š¦ = ā4 into the inequality, we have:
3(0) + 2(ā4) ā„ 7
0 ā 8 ā„ 7
ā8 ā„ 7
Since ā8 is not greater than or equal to 7, option (0, ā4) does not satisfy the inequality.
d) For option (2, 0):
Substituting š„ = 2 and š¦ = 0 into the inequality, we have:
3(2) + 2(0) ā„ 7
6 + 0 ā„ 7
6 ā„ 7
Since 6 is not greater than or equal to 7, option (2, 0) does not satisfy the inequality.
Therefore, the solution to the inequality 3š„ + 2š¦ ā„ 7 is option b) (ā1, 5).
