Graph the solution set of each system of inequalities. \(\left\\{\begin{array}{r}2 x-y<3 \\ x+y<6\end{array}\right.\)
In Exercises 7-8, a. Rewrite each equation in exponential form. b. Use a table of coordinates and the exponential form from part (a) to graph each logarithmic function. Begin by selecting \(-2,-1,0,1\), and 2 for \(y\). \(y=\log _{4} x\)
The figure shows the healthy weight region for various heights for people ages 35 and older. If \(x\) represents height, in inches, and y represents weight, in pounds, the healthy weight region can be modeled by the following system of linear inequalities: $$ \left\\{\begin{array}{l} 5.3 x-y \geq 180 \\ 4.1 x-y \leq 140 \end{array}\right. $$ Use this information to solve Exercises 45-48. Is a person in this age group who is 5 feet 8 inches tall weighing 135 pounds within the healthy weight region?
a. Create a scatter plot for the data in each table. b. Use the shape of the scatter plot to determine if the data are best modeled by a linear function, an exponential function, a logarithmic function, or a quadratic function. $$ \begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline \boldsymbol{x} & \boldsymbol{y} \\ \hline 0 & -3 \\ \hline 1 & 2 \\ \hline 2 & 7 \\ \hline 3 & 12 \\ \hline 4 & 17 \\ \hline \end{array} $$
Make Sense? In Exercises 47-50, determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. I'm looking at data that show the number of new college programs in green studies, and a linear function appears to be a better choice than an exponential function for modeling the number of new college programs from 2005 through \(2009 .\)
