Graph / / /

Procedure for Solving Equations Graphically

  1. Graph each equation on the same set of axes
  2. Circle the points where the graphs intersect. These are your solutions.
  3. Write the solution as an ordered pair in parentheses (x, y).
  4. Check your solutions

Find the solutions to the following system of equations graphically then determine whether each system is consistent or inconsistent and if it is independent or dependent:

1.

2.

3.

TO CHECK ON YOUR GRAPHING CALCULATOR (FIND INTERSECTION):

1)Go to (Calculate) and pick (intersection)

2)Move cursor to wanted intersection point

4.Use your calculator to check the previous examples.

5. Use your calculator to solve the following systems of equations:

5a. 2x - 2y = 55b. x – 2y = -4

4x – 4y = 9 4y = 2x +8

SOLVING SYSTEMS OF INEQUALITIES – Word Problems (Day 8)

  1. For a hiking trip, you are making a mix of x ounces of peanuts and y ounces of chocolate pieces. You want the mix to have less than 70 grams of fat and weigh less than 8 ounces. An ounce of peanuts has 14 grams of fat, and an ounce of chocolate pieces has 7 grams of fat. Write and graph a system of inequalities that models the situation.
  1. You are fishing in a marina for perch and rockfish, which are two species of bottomfish. Gaming laws in the marina allow you to catch no more than 15 perch, no more than 10 rockfish per day, and no more than 15 total bottomfish per day. Write and graph a system of inequalities that model the situation.
