Algebra 2 3.1 Explain: Systems by Graphing

When there are two linear equations with two unknown variables, you can use a system of equations to find the variables. Possible Outcomes:

If, when you graph the two lines they intersect in ONE POINT, this point is the SOLUTION to the system of equations.

If, when you graph the two lines they do NOT intersect, then the lines are PARALLEL and there are NO solutions.

If, when you graph the two lines they are the SAME line, then the lines are the SAME and there are INFINTELY MANY solutions.

Algebra 2 3.1 Evaluate: Systems by Graphing The new movie theater opened in Regal’s neighborhood. The theater offers a yearly membership for which customers pay a fee of $50, after which they pay only $1 per movie. Nonmembers pay $4.50 per movie. Regal is trying to figure out whether to buy a membership. She writes these cost equations.

C M = 50 + n C N = 4.5n

Where n is the number of movies seen in one year, C M is the yearly cost in dollars for a member, and C N is

the yearly cost in dollars for a nonmember. 7. If Regal sees ten movies this year, what would be her cost under each plan? 8. Complete the table below and then draw a graph from the data. Use a different color for each line.

9. How many movies must Regal see this year to make the yearly membership a better deal? 10. What does the y-intercept in each equation tell you about this situation? 11. What does the coefficient of n in each equation tell you about the situation?

Linear Programming – Day 1

Explore (Activity) – Larry’s Landscaping

Larry’s Landscaping company has crews who mow lawns and prune shrubbery. The company schedules 1 hour for mowing jobs and 2 hours for pruning jobs. Each crew is scheduled for no more than 2 pruning jobs per day. Each crew’s schedule is set up for a maximum of 9 hours per day. On the average, the charge

for mowing a lawn is $40 and the charge for pruning shrubbery is $120. Find a combination of mowing lawns and pruning shrubs that will maximize the income the company receives per day for one of its crews. Step 1

Organize the information into this table: Mowing Lawns

x Pruning Shrubs

y Constraining

value

Time (hours) Step 2 Use your table to help you write inequalities that reflect the constraints given, and be sure to include any commonsense constraints. Let ‘x’ represent the number of mowing lawns, and let ‘y’ represent the number of pruning shrubs. (Hint: you should have 4 inequalities. Consider the least number of lawns they can mow and the least numbers of shrubs they can prune)

Step 3 Graph the feasible region to show the combinations of lawns mowed and shrubs pruned the landscaping company could schedule, and label the coordinates of the vertices.

Step 4 It will make sense to produce only whole numbers of lawns mowed and shrubs pruned. List the coordinates of all integer points within the feasible regions. Remember that the feasible region may include points on the boundary lines. DON’T WORRY ABOUT THE PROFIT COLUMN YET!

Point Profit Point Profit Point Profit Point Profit

(0, 0) (2, 1) (0, 2)

(1, 0) (3, 1) (1, 2)

(2, 0) (8, 0) (2, 2)

(3, 0) (9, 0)

(0, 1) (6, 1)

(1, 1) (7, 1) (5, 2)

Step 5 Write the equation that will determine profit based on the number of lawns mowed and shrubs pruned scheduled. Calculate the profit that the company would earn at each of the feasible points you found in Step 3. You may want to divide the values up among your group members. Before you go on, check your equation with the teacher.

Profit = ______ x + ______ y

Use this space to calculate the values if necessary.

(x, y) = 40x + 120y

(___, ___) = 40(___) + 120(___) = _______ + ______ = __________ (___, ___) = 40(___) + 120(___) = _______ + ______ = __________ (___, ___) = 40(___) + 120(___) = _______ + ______ = __________ (___, ___) = 40(___) + 120(___) = _______ + ______ = __________ (___, ___) = 40(___) + 120(___) = _______ + ______ = __________ (___, ___) = 40(___) + 120(___) = _______ + ______ = __________ (___, ___) = 40(___) + 120(___) = _______ + ______ = __________ (___, ___) = 40(___) + 120(___) = _______ + ______ = __________ (___, ___) = 40(___) + 120(___) = _______ + ______ = __________ (___, ___) = 40(___) + 120(___) = _______ + ______ = __________ (___, ___) = 40(___) + 120(___) = _______ + ______ = __________ (___, ___) = 40(___) + 120(___) = _______ + ______ = __________ Go back and fill in the profit column now!

Step 6 What number of each kind of appointment should Larry’s Landscaping schedule to maximize profit?

Lawns Mowed = __________

Pruned Shrubs = __________

Maximum profit = __________

Explain (Notes) Linear programming is a ‘real-world’ example of using systems. Usually we use linear programming when wanting to maximize or minimize something. First we need to remember how to graph a system of inequalities. Graph the following: Example 1

The ‘shaded’ area is called a feasible region. You will need to be able to find all the ‘corner’ points which are called vertices. Example 3 Find the vertices on the following pictures. Vertices: Every linear programming problem has an objective function. This is a function that represents what we are trying to maximize. For example, we might want to maximize or profit, or a score on an exam. Once we have an objective function and vertices, we can find the maximum and minimum values of that graph. Is the point (6, 4) included in the feasible region? Example 5: Graph the following constraint inequalities and then find the maximum and minimum vales for the given objective function.

Evaluate (Assignment) – Due on ___________________ 1. A linear programming problem gives (0, 0), (0, 90), (50, 80), (70, 20), and (70, 0) as consecutive vertices of the feasible region. Find the maximum and minimum

values of the objective function. P = 3x + 4y in the feasible region. 2. A linear programming problem give (10, 0), (10, 40), (30, 50) and (40, 20) as the

consecutive vertices of the feasible region. Find the maximum and minimum value of the objective function P = 13x - 5y in the feasible region.
