a.
To write an inequality to model money spent by S on birthday gifts if each gift cost the same amount
a.
Answer to Problem 5.1.1.9P
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
S has $250
She purchases headphone for $60
Calculation:
Let the money spent on each of the three gifts be
Money spent on gifts =
Total money spent= Cost of headphone + Cost Of 3 gifts
Total money spent =
Now according to Question:-
Subtracting 60 from both sides of inequality
Solving it further
b.
To calculate the greatest amount that she can spent on each gift
b.
Answer to Problem 5.1.1.9P
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
S has $250
She purchases headphone for $60
Let the money spent on each of the three gifts be
Money spent on gifts =
Total money spent= Cost of headphone + Cost of 3 gifts
Total money spent =
Now according to Question:-
The inequality can be expressed as
Dividing both the sides by 3 and calculating the answer
c.
To show the inequality that represents how much she can spend on each birthday gift
c.

- M = log The formula determines the magnitude of an earthquake, where / is the intensity of the earthquake and S is the intensity of a "standard earthquake." How many times stronger is an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 than an earthquake with a magnitude of 6? Show your work.arrow_forwardNow consider equations of the form ×-a=v = √bx + c, where a, b, and c are all positive integers and b>1. (f) Create an equation of this form that has 7 as a solution and an extraneous solution. Give the extraneous solution. (g) What must be true about the value of bx + c to ensure that there is a real number solution to the equation? Explain.arrow_forwardThe equation ×+ 2 = √3x+10 is of the form ×+ a = √bx + c, where a, b, and c are all positive integers and b > 1. Using this equation as a model, create your own equation that has extraneous solutions. (d) Using trial and error with numbers for a, b, and c, create an equation of the form x + a = √bx + c, where a, b, and c are all positive integers and b>1 such that 7 is a solution and there is an extraneous solution. (Hint: Substitute 7 for x, and choose a value for a. Then square both sides so you can choose a, b, and c that will make the equation true.) (e) Solve the equation you created in Part 2a.arrow_forward
