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 $$1-\frac{1}{2} x+2=$$ 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 I988. Use these models to solve. a. In which years will more than \(34 \%\) of U.S. households have an interfaith marriage? b. In which years will more than \(15 \%\) 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 \(34 \%\) of households have an interfaith marriage and more than \(15 \%\) have a faith/no religion marriage? d. Based on your answers to parts (a) and (b), in which years will more than \(34 \%\) of households have an interfaith marriage or more than \(15 \%\) have a faith/no religion marriage?
How do you determine if an ordered pair is a solution of an inequality in two variables, \(x\) and \(y ?\)
On your next vacation, you will divide lodging between large resorts and small inns. Let \(x\) represent the number of nights spent in large resorts. Let \(y\) represent the number of nights spent in small inns. Write a system of inequalities that models the following conditions: You want to stay at least 5 nights. At least one night should be spent at a large resort. Large resorts average \(\$ 200\) per night and small inns average \(\$ 100\) per night. Your budget permits no more than \(\$ 700\) for lodging. b. Graph the solution set of the system of inequalities in part (a). c. Based on your graph in part (b), how many nights could you spend at a large resort and still stay within your budget?
