Answer 1

Answer:

C. (0,10)

Step-by-step explanation:

I think your question is missed of key information, allow me to add in and hope it will fit the original one.  

Please have a look at the attached photo.   Because I have answered this question one in Branily

My answer:

Given the 4 inequalities:

• s ≥ 12 - 0.5t (1)
• s ≥ 10 -t (2)
• s ≤ 20-t (3)
• s ≥ 0
• t ≥ 0

Let analyse all 4 possible answer:

• (0, 10)

Let substitute this point into (1) we have: 10 ≥ 12 -0.5*0 Wrong

We do not choose A

• (0, 20)

Let substitute this point into (1) we have: 20 ≥ 12 -0.5*0  True

Let substitute this point into (2) we have: 20 ≥ 10 - 0 True

Let substitute this point into (3) we have: 20 ≤ 20 - 0 True

We choose B as the vertex

• (4, 16)

Let substitute this point into (1) we have: 16 ≥ 12 -0.5*4  True

Let substitute this point into (2) we have: 16 ≥ 10 - 4 True

Let substitute this point into (3) we have: 16 ≤ 20 - 4 True

We choose C as the vertex

• (16,4)

Let substitute this point into (1) we have: 4 ≥ 12 -0.5*16 True

Let substitute this point into (2) we have: 4 ≥ 10 - 16 True

Let substitute this point into (3) we have: 4 ≤ 20 - 16 True

We choose B as the vertex

Hence, the point A (0,10)  is not one of the vertices of the shaded region of the  set of inequalities.
