Graph \(y=2 x\) and \(y=2 x+4\) in the same rectangular coordinate system. Select integers for \(x,\) starting with \(-2\) and ending with 2.
The formula for converting Celsius temperature, \(C,\) to Fahrenheit temperature, \(F,\) is $$ F=\frac{9}{5} C+32 $$ If Celsius temperature ranges from \(15^{\circ}\) to \(35^{\circ},\) inclusive, what is the range for the Fahrenheit temperature? Use interval notation to express this range.
In Exercises 122–133, use the strategy for solving word problems, modeling the verbal conditions of the problem with a linear inequality. The toll to a bridge is 3.00 dollar. A three-month pass costs 7.50 dollar and reduces the toll to 0.50 dollar. A six-month pass costs $30 and permits crossing the bridge for no additional fee. How many crossings per three-month period does it take for the three-month pass to be the best deal?
In Exercises 95–102, use interval notation to represent all values of x satisfying the given conditions. $$ y_{1}=\frac{2}{3}(6 x-9)+4, y_{2}=5 x+1, \text { and } y_{1}>y_{2} $$
Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. When I use the square root property to determine the length of a right triangle's side, I don't even bother to list the negative square root.
