Maximize 9t+8.50v9t + 8.50v under constraints 9t+8.50v1509t + 8.50v \leq 150 and v5v \geq 5.

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. We have a system of inequalities with two variables tt and vv.
2. The first inequality is 9t+8.50v1509t + 8.50v \leq 150.
3. The second inequality is v5v \geq 5.
4. We need to find the possible values of tt and vv that satisfy both inequalities.

STEP 2

We will first focus on the second inequality, which is simpler.
v5v \geq 5
This inequality tells us that the value of vv must be greater than or equal to 5.

STEP 3

Now, we will manipulate the first inequality to express tt in terms of vv.
9t+8.50v1509t + 8.50v \leq 150
Subtract 8.50v8.50v from both sides of the inequality to isolate terms involving tt.
9t1508.50v9t \leq 150 - 8.50v

STEP 4

Next, divide both sides of the inequality by 9 to solve for tt.
t1508.50v9t \leq \frac{150 - 8.50v}{9}

STEP 5

Since we know that v5v \geq 5, we can substitute v=5v = 5 into the inequality to find the maximum value of tt when vv is at its minimum.
t1508.50(5)9t \leq \frac{150 - 8.50(5)}{9}

STEP 6

Calculate the value inside the parentheses.
8.50(5)=42.508.50(5) = 42.50

STEP 7

Substitute this value back into the inequality.
t15042.509t \leq \frac{150 - 42.50}{9}

STEP 8

Perform the subtraction in the numerator.
t107.509t \leq \frac{107.50}{9}

STEP 9

Finally, divide to find the maximum value of tt when vv is 5.
t107.50911.94t \leq \frac{107.50}{9} \approx 11.94

STEP 10

Now we have found that when vv is at its minimum value of 5, tt can be at most approximately 11.94. However, as vv increases, the maximum value of tt will decrease, since tt and vv are inversely related in the first inequality.

STEP 11

To find the range of possible values for tt and vv, we can graph the inequalities on a coordinate plane where tt is on the x-axis and vv is on the y-axis. The solution will be the shaded region that satisfies both inequalities.

STEP 12

The line 9t+8.50v=1509t + 8.50v = 150 is the boundary for the first inequality. If we graph this line, any point on or below this line will satisfy the first inequality.

STEP 13

The line v=5v = 5 is the boundary for the second inequality. If we graph this line, any point above this line will satisfy the second inequality.

STEP 14

The intersection of the regions defined by these two inequalities will give us the set of all possible solutions for tt and vv.
To summarize, the solution to the system of inequalities is the set of all points (t,v)(t, v) such that t1508.50v9t \leq \frac{150 - 8.50v}{9} and v5v \geq 5, which can be represented graphically as the shaded region in the coordinate plane where the first inequality's region is below the line 9t+8.50v=1509t + 8.50v = 150 and the second inequality's region is above the line v=5v = 5.
