Chapter 1: Problem 82
Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. I find the hardest part in solving a word problem is writing the equation that models the verbal conditions.

In more U.S. marriages, spouses have different faiths. The bar graph shows the percentage of households with an interfaith marriage in 1988 and 2008. Also shown is the percentage of households in which a person of faith is married to someone with no religion. (Graph cant copy) The formula $$I=\frac{1}{4} x+26$$ models the percentage of U.S. households with an interfaith marriage, \(I\), \(x\) years after 1988 . The formula $$N=\frac{1}{4} x+6$$ models the percentage of U.S. households in which a person of faith is married to someone with no religion, \(N, x\) years after 1988 Use these models to solve Exercises. a. In which years will more than 33% of U.S. households have an interfaith marriage? b. In which years will more than 14% of U.S. households have a person of faith married to someone with no religion? c. Based on your answers to parts (a) and (b), in which years will more than 33% of households have an interfaith marriage and more than 14% have a faith/no religion marriage? d. Based on your answers to parts (a) and (b), in which years will more than 33% of households have an interfaith marriage or more than 14% have a faith/no religion marriage?
Solve each absolute value equation or indicate that the equation has no solution. $$ |x+1|+6=2 $$
Determine whether each statement is true or false. If the statement is false, make the necessary change(s) to produce a true statement. The equations \(\frac{x}{x-4}=\frac{4}{x-4}\) and \(x=4\) are equivalent.
A new car worth \(\$ 45,000\) is depreciating in value by \(\$ 5000\) per year. a. Write a formula that models the car's value, \(y,\) in dollars, after \(x\) years. b. Use the formula from part (a) to determine after how many years the car's value will be \(\$ 10,000\). c. Graph the formula from part (a) in the first quadrant of a rectangular coordinate system. Then show your solution to part (b) on the graph.
Solve each equation. $$ \text { Solve for } A: r=\sqrt{\frac{A}{4 \pi}} $$
