5. A girl is told to buy some melons and oranges. Melons are 50c each and oranges 25c each, and she has $2 to spend. She must not buy more than 2 melons and she must buy at least 4 oranges. She is also told to buy at least 6 fruits all together. Let x be the number of melons

Let y be the number of oranges.

a) Write down four inequalities which must be satisfied.

b) Draw a graph and use it to list the combinations of fruit that are open to her.

a) The four inequalities are;

1) x ≤ 2

2) y ≥ 4

3) x + y ≥ 6

4) 0.5 × x + 0.25 × y ≤ 2

b) The limits of the combinations of fruits that are opened to her, derived using the Chart function on Microsoft Excel are;

1) (0, 8) which is 0 melons and 8 oranges

2) (0, 6) which is 0 melons and 6 oranges

3) (2, 4) which is 2 melons and 4 oranges

Step-by-step explanation:

The price per Melon = 50c = $0.5

The price per orange = 25c = $0.25

The amount she has to spend = $2

The number of melons she must buy ≤ 2

The number of oranges she must buy ≥ 4

The total number of fruits she should ≥ 6

Let x be the number of melons

Let y be the number of oranges

a) The four inequalities are;

1) x ≤ 2

2) y ≥ 4

3) x + y ≥ 6

4) 0.5 × x + 0.25 × y ≤ 2

b) Please find attached the required graph of the combination of fruits the girl buys created with Microsoft Excel

The combinations of the vertices of the feasible combinations that are opened to her, obtained from the creation of the combined graph, using Microsoft Excel are;

1) (0, 8) which is 0 melons and 8 oranges

2) (0, 6) which is 0 melons and 6 oranges

3) (2, 4) which is 2 melons and 4 oranges

1 + (6 / x - 1)

step-by-step explanation:

divide using polynomial division.
