Everyday math

Money. Gerry wants to have a maximum of $100 cash at the ticket booth when his church carnival opens. He will have $1 bills and $5 bills. If x is the number of $1 bills and y is the number of $5 bills, the inequality x + 5 y 100 models the situation.

  1. Graph the inequality.
  2. List three solutions to the inequality x + 5 y 100 where both x and y are integers.

Shopping. Tula has $20 to spend at the used book sale. Hardcover books cost $2 each and paperback books cost $0.50 each. If x is the number of hardcover books Tula can buy and y is the number of paperback books she can buy, the inequality 2 x + 1 2 y 20 models the situation.

  1. Graph the inequality.
  2. List three solutions to the inequality 2 x + 1 2 y 20 where both x and y are whole numbers.

  1. The graph shows the x y-coordinate plane. The x- axis runs from 0 to 20 and the y-axis runs from 0 to 30. The line 2 x plus one-half y equals 20 is plotted as a solid line extending from the top left toward the bottom right. The region below the line is shaded.

Self check

After completing the exercises, use this checklist to evaluate your mastery of the objectives of this section.

This is a table that has four rows and four columns. In the first row, which is a header row, the cells read from left to right: “I can…,” “confidently,” “with some help,” and “no-I don’t get it!” The first column below “I can…” reads “verify solutions to an inequality in two variables,”, “recognize the relation between the solutions of an inequality and its graph,” and “graph linear inequalities.” The rest of the cells are blank.

What does this checklist tell you about your mastery of this section? What steps will you take to improve?

explain assimilatory nitrate reduction
Esinniobiwa Reply
Assimilatory nitrate reduction is a process that occurs in some microorganisms, such as bacteria and archaea, in which nitrate (NO3-) is reduced to nitrite (NO2-), and then further reduced to ammonia (NH3).
Elkana
This process is called assimilatory nitrate reduction because the nitrogen that is produced is incorporated in the cells of microorganisms where it can be used in the synthesis of amino acids and other nitrogen products
