Learning environments An experiment that involves learning in animals requires placing white mice and rabbits into separate, controlled environments: environment I and environment II. The maximum amount of time available in environment I is 420 minutes, and the maximum amount of time available in environment II is 600 minutes. The white mice must spend 10 minutes in environment I and 25 minutes in environment II, and the rabbits must spend 12 minutes in environment 1 and 15 minutes in environment 11.
(a) Write a system of inequalities that describes the constraints on the number of each type of animal used in the experiment. Begin by identifying what x and y represent.
(b) Graph the solution of the system of inequalities and find the corners of the solution region.

- Ticket Sales For a concert event, there are $30 reserved seat tickets and $20 general admission tickets. There are 2000 reserved seats available, and fire regulations limit the number of paid ticket holders to 3000. The promoter must take in at least $75,000 in ticket sales. Write and graph a system of inequalities that describes the different numbers of tickets that can be sold.arrow_forwardBiology Each day, an average adult moose can process about 32 kilograms of terrestrial vegetation (twigs and leaves) and aquatic vegetation. From this food, it needs to obtain about 1.9 grams of sodium and 11,000 calories of energy. Aquatic vegetation has about 0.15 gram of sodium per kilogram and about 193 calories of energy per kilogram, whereas terrestrial vegetation has minimal sodium and about four times as much energy as aquatic vegetation. Write and graph a system of inequalities that describes the amounts t and a of terrestrial and aquatic vegetation, respectively, for the daily diet of an average adult moose.arrow_forward
