Instructions Determine Which Of The Points Given Are In The Solution Area For The System Of Inequalities class=

Sagot :

Given the following inequalitites:

[tex]\begin{gathered} y\leq\frac{1}{2}x+2 \\ y\ge-2 \\ x\leq-3 \end{gathered}[/tex]

We are going to evaluate each point:

A= (-10 , 1)

B= (-3, 7 )

C= ( 5 , 1)

D= (-3 , -5)

The point A:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 1\leqslant\frac{1}{2}(-10)+2=1\leqslant-5+2=1\leqslant-3 \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]

As -3 is not greater or equal to 1 the point A does not work.

Point B:

[tex]7\leqslant\frac{1}{2}(-3)+2=7\leqslant-\frac{3}{2}+2=7\leqslant\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

1/2 is not greater or equal to seven, the point B does not work.

Point C.

[tex]1\leqslant\frac{1}{2}(5)+2=1\leqslant\frac{5}{2}+2=1\leqslant\frac{9}{2}[/tex]

9/2 is greater than 1, now we have to evaluate the other inequalities in the same point.

[tex]\begin{gathered} 1\ge-2 \\ and \\ 1\leq-3 \end{gathered}[/tex]

As -3 isn't greater than 1, the point c does not work.

The point D.

[tex]-3\leqslant\frac{1}{2}(-5)+2=-3\leqslant-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

The first one is true, -1/2 is greater than -3.

[tex]-5\ge-2[/tex]

The second one is false, the point D does not work.

Point E (0 , 0).

[tex]0\leqslant\frac{1}{2}(0)+2=0\leq2[/tex]

The first is true.

Second one:

[tex]0\ge-2[/tex]

The second one is true.

Third one.

[tex]0\leq-3[/tex]

The point E does not work, because -3 is not greater or equal to -3.

Answer: no point is a solution of the system.
