Explaining Multiple Solutions of Linear Inequalities

The video tutorial explains systems of linear inequalities, highlighting their differences from linear equations. It uses a real-world example of an art teacher's fundraising efforts to demonstrate how to model scenarios with linear inequalities. The tutorial covers graphing these systems and identifying solutions within shaded regions, emphasizing the importance of understanding constraints and solutions in practical applications.

What is a key characteristic of a system of linear inequalities?

• It has solutions only at the intersection points.

• It has no solutions.

• It has a single solution.

• It has infinite solutions within a shaded region.

How do the inequalities '2w + 5z > 5' and '2w + 5z ≥ 5' differ?

• Both are always true for any values of w and z.

• The second allows equality, the first does not.

• The first allows equality, the second does not.

• They are identical in meaning.

In a system of linear equations, what is the significance of the intersection point?

• It represents the only solution.

• It represents a shaded region of solutions.

• It represents multiple solutions.

• It represents no solutions.

What is the main difference between the graphical representation of linear equations and inequalities?

• Inequalities have shaded regions, equations do not.

• Both have shaded regions.

• Equations have shaded regions, inequalities do not.

• Neither have shaded regions.

In the fundraising example, what does the inequality '900 ≤ 7b + 12n' represent?

• The exact amount of money to be raised.

• The minimum amount of money to be raised.

• The number of items to be sold.

• The maximum amount of money to be raised.

Why is '50 ≤ b' used in the fundraising example?

• To indicate no bracelets are needed.

• To indicate the exact number of bracelets.

• To indicate the minimum number of bracelets.

• To indicate the maximum number of bracelets.

What does the shaded area in the graph of the fundraising example represent?

• Solutions with negative values.

• All possible solutions.

• Only the intersection point.

• No possible solutions.
