Math Problem Statement

Does(4, 10)maketheinequalityy ≥ 2x + 2true?

Solution

To check if the point (4,10)(4, 10) satisfies the inequality y2x+2y \geq 2x + 2, we substitute the coordinates of the point into the inequality.

  • x=4x = 4
  • y=10y = 10

Substitute into the inequality:

102(4)+210 \geq 2(4) + 2

Simplify the right-hand side:

108+210 \geq 8 + 2

101010 \geq 10

Since 101010 \geq 10 is true, the point (4,10)(4, 10) satisfies the inequality.

Summary:

Yes, the point (4,10)(4, 10) makes the inequality y2x+2y \geq 2x + 2 true.
