Use the strategy for solving word problems, modeling the verbal conditions of the problem with a linear inequality. A local bank charges \(\$ 8\) per month plus 5垄 per check. The credit union charges \(\$ 2\) per month plus 8垄 per check. How many checks should be written each month to make the credit union a better deal?
The rational expression $$\frac{130 x}{100-x}$$ describes the cost, in millions of dollars, to inoculate \(x\) percent of the population against a particular strain of flu. a. Evaluate the expression for \(x=40, x=80,\) and \(x=90\) Describe the meaning of each evaluation in terms of percentage inoculated and cost. b. For what value of \(x\) is the expression undefined? c. What happens to the cost as \(x\) approaches \(100 \% ?\) How can you interpret this observation?
Use the strategy for solving word problems, modeling the verbal conditions of the problem with a linear inequality. To earn an A in a course, you must have a final average of at least \(90 \% .\) On the first four examinations, you have grades of \(86 \%, 88 \%, 92 \%,\) and \(84 \% .\) If the final examination counts as two grades, what must you get on the final to earn an A in the course?
Determine whether each statement is true or false. If the statement is false, make the necessary change(s) to produce a true statement. $$\frac{2 x-1}{x-7}+\frac{3 x-1}{x-7}-\frac{5 x-2}{x-7}=0$$
In more U.S. marriages, spouses have different faiths. The bar graph shows the percentage of households with an interfaith marriage in 1988 and \(2012 .\) Also shown is the percentage of households in which a person of faith is married to someone with no religion. 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 \(107-108\). The formula for converting Celsius temperature, \(C,\) to Fahrenheit temperature, \(F\), is $$ F=\frac{9}{5} C+32 $$ If Fahrenheit temperature ranges from \(41^{\circ}\) to \(50^{\circ},\) inclusive, what is the range for Celsius temperature? Use interval notation to express this range.
