First consider the system of equations y= -1/2x + 1 and y = x - 5. Then consider the system of inequalities y > -1/2x + 1 and y < x - 5. When comparing the number of solutions in each of these systems, which statement is true? A. Both systems have an infinite number of solutions
B. The system of equations has more solutions
C. The system of inequalities has more solutions
D. Both systems have only one solution

the answer is C, NOT B

Step-by-step explanation:

3< x< 5

step-by-step explanation:

|x - 4| < 1

there are two solutions, one positive and one negative.   remember to flip the inequality when taking the negative solution

x-4 < 1       x-4 > -1

add 4 to each side

x-4+4 < 1+4       x-4+4 > -1+4

x< 5                 x> 3

3< x< 5

1 number

if we use a graphing calculator, there is only one such number that satisfies the conclusion of the mean value theorem, that is, a number such that

where the right-hand side is the average rate of change of f on the interval [0.5,0.75], which is the slope of the secant line.

in the attached graph, the black line is the secant line which has its slope as the average rate of change of f on [0.5,0.75], while the orange line is the only tangent line to the graph of f in the interval that satisfies the mvt conclusion.
