Explanation of Solution
Given:
The price of gold is about $25 per gram
The price of silver is approximately $0.40 per gram
The total mass must be more than 10 g but less than 20g
The ring must contain at least 2 g of gold
The total cost of the gold and silver must be less than $90
Calculation for graph:
Let
The price of gold is about $25 per gram so cost is $
The price of silver is approximately $0.40 per gram so cost ofis $0.
Total cost is
The total mass must be more than 10 g but less than 20g
So,
The total cost of the gold and silver must be less than $90
Total cost is
So,
Converting all the equation in slope interception form
INEQUALITY I:
The slope is -1 & the y -intercept is 10.
The shaded area is above the dashed boundary line.
INEQUALITY II:
The slope is -1 & the y -intercept is 20.
The shaded area is below the dashed boundary line.
INEQUALITY III:
The slope is -62.5 & the y -intercept is 20.
The shaded area is below the dashed boundary line.
Graph:
Here,
The solution is the intersection of the shaded regions in yellow and in black boundary.
Interpretation:
Therefore, the graph can be use to determine graph and expression of the inequalities that describes this situation.
b.
To determinethe mass of the ring and the cost of the gold and silver.

Answer to Problem 36PPE
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The price of gold is about $25 per gram
The price of silver is approximately $0.40 per gram
The total mass must be more than 10 g but less than 20g
The ring must contain at least 2 g of gold
The total cost of the gold and silver must be less than $90
Calculation for graph:
From the above expression,
Let value of
Values of x | Value of y | Mass |
2 | 15 | 17 |
Values of x | Value of y | Cost |
2 | 15 | 56 |
Now plotting the graph,
Graph:
Here,
The solution is the intersection of the shaded regions in yellow and in black boundary.
Interpretation:
Therefore,the mass of the ring and the cost of the gold and silver for 2gram of gold and 15gram of silver17gram and $56 respectively.

- 3. A scientist recorded the movement of a pendulum for 10 s. The scientist began recording when the pendulum was at its resting position. The pendulum then moved right (positive displacement) and left (negative displacement) several times. The pendulum took 4 s to swing to the right and the left and then return to its resting position. The pendulum's furthest distance to either side was 6 in. Graph the function that represents the pendulum's displacement as a function of time. Answer: f(t) (a) Write an equation to represent the displacement of the pendulum as a function of time. (b) Graph the function. 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 t 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 -1 -5. -6 -7 -8 -9 -10-arrow_forwardA power outage occurs 6 min after the ride started. Passengers must wait for their cage to be manually cranked into the lowest position in order to exit the ride. Sine function model: h = −82.5 cos (3πt) + 97.5 where h is the height of the last passenger above the ground measured in feet and t is the time of operation of the ride in minutes. (a) What is the height of the last passenger at the moment of the power outage? Verify your answer by evaluating the sine function model. (b) Will the last passenger to board the ride need to wait in order to exit the ride? Explain.arrow_forwardThe Colossus Ferris wheel debuted at the 1984 New Orleans World's Fair. The ride is 180 ft tall, and passengers board the ride at an initial height of 15 ft above the ground. The height above ground, h, of a passenger on the ride is a periodic function of time, t. The graph displays the height above ground of the last passenger to board over the course of the 15 min ride.
