Applications of Linear Systems

The document discusses applications of linear systems, including cell phone plans. It provides examples of using linear equations to model situations with constant rates of change, such as typing speed. It presents a scenario where Shane and Conner are typing essays and asks to write the linear equations for each, find the solution point, and determine who will finish first. Finally, it presents cell phone plans from AT&T and Verizon and asks to write the linear equations for each plan and analyze which plan is better for short and long-term usage.

Applications of Linear Systems

Objectives: 1. Review the two methods for solving linear systems so far:
7.1 Solving by graphing and 7.2 Solving by substitution

2. Use the skills learned from 7.1 to understand the significance of the solution point as you apply solving linear systems to analyzing cell phone plans

Warm up #1
1.) Solve the system of equations by graphing. x y = -5 y + 2x = -4 2.) Solve the system of equation by substitution. x y = -5 y + 2x = -4

Recall
Solution of a linear system of equations:

We have learned two methods to find the solution point:

Applications of linear equations


Anything with a constant rate of change

Examples: - Yearly salary - Number of words you can type per minute. http://www.wordsperminutetest.com/result.php

If Shane can type 25 words per minute and Conner can type 44 words per minute. We give Shane a 5 minute head start.

A.) Find the linear equation for Shane, B.) Find the linear equation for Conner C.) Find the solution point. D.) Who will finish a 400 word essay first?

The starting salary for a doctor is $75,000, but the debt averages at about $140,000. The starting wage for cosmotology per year is about $19,000, but there is no debt.
