Math Problem Statement

Determine which ordered pairs are part of the solution set for each inequality.

y  2x, {(2, 6), (0, 1), (3, 5), (1, 2)}

Solution

To determine which ordered pairs are part of the solution set for the inequality y2xy \geq 2x, we will check each ordered pair given in the set {(2,6),(0,1),(3,5),(1,2)}\{(2, 6), (0, -1), (3, 5), (-1, -2)\}.

Let's evaluate each pair (x,y)(x, y):

  1. For (2,6)(2, 6): y=6and2x=2(2)=4y = 6 \quad \text{and} \quad 2x = 2(2) = 4 y2xy \geq 2x becomes 646 \geq 4, which is true.

  2. For (0,1)(0, -1): y=1and2x=2(0)=0y = -1 \quad \text{and} \quad 2x = 2(0) = 0 y2xy \geq 2x becomes 10-1 \geq 0, which is false.

  3. For (3,5)(3, 5): y=5and2x=2(3)=6y = 5 \quad \text{and} \quad 2x = 2(3) = 6 y2xy \geq 2x becomes 565 \geq 6, which is false.

  4. For (1,2)(-1, -2): y=2and2x=2(1)=2y = -2 \quad \text{and} \quad 2x = 2(-1) = -2 y2xy \geq 2x becomes 22-2 \geq -2, which is true.

Solution:

The ordered pairs that satisfy the inequality y2xy \geq 2x are: {(2,6),(1,2)}\{(2, 6), (-1, -2)\}

Would you like more details or have any questions?


  1. How do you graph the inequality y2xy \geq 2x?
  2. What is the significance of the equality condition y=2xy = 2x?
  3. How can you test a point to see if it satisfies an inequality?
  4. What changes if the inequality is y>2xy > 2x instead of y2xy \geq 2x?
  5. How would the solution set change if the inequality were y2xy \leq 2x?

Tip: To verify which side of the boundary line is part of the solution set, pick a test point that is not on the boundary and check if it satisfies the inequality.
