CHAPTER 17 PRACTICE TEST

As a study aid, we have included complete solutions for each Practice Test problem at the end of this book.

  1. State conditions on x and y in terms of inequalities if the point (x, y) is in the second quadrant.

In Problems 2–7, solve the given inequalities algebraically and graph each solution.

  1.  − x2 ≥ 3

  2. 3x + 1 <  − 5

  3.  − 1 < 1 − 2x < 5

  4. x2 + xx − 2 ≤ 0

  5. | 2x + 1|  ≥ 3

  6. | 2 − 3x|  < 8

  7. Sketch the region in which the points satisfy the following system of inequalities:

    y < x2y ≥ x + 1
  8. Determine the values of x for which x2 − x − 6 represents a real number.

  9. The length of a rectangular lot is 20 m more than its width. If the area is to be at least 4800 m2 ,  what values may the width be?

  10. Type A wire costs $0.10 per foot, and type B wire costs $0.20 per foot. Use a graph to show the possible combinations of lengths of wire that can be purchased for less than $5.00.

  11. The range of the visible spectrum in terms of the wavelength λ of light ranges from about λ = 400 nm (violet) to about λ = 700 nm (red). Express these values using an inequality with absolute values.

  12. Solve the inequality x2 > 12 − x on a graphing calculator such that the display is the graph of the solution.

  13. By using linear programming, find the maximum value of the objective function P = 5x + 3y subject to the following constraints: x ≥ 0 , y ≥ 0 , 2x + 3y ≤ 12 , 4x + y ≤ 8.
