Graph the region that represents the correct solution only once.

Solution

To solve the system of inequalities graphically, we first rewrite the system in a form suitable for graphing. Here are the inequalities provided:

  1. 0x+0y30x + 0y \leq 3 — This inequality doesn't affect the region since it is trivially satisfied.
  2. 0x+2y40x + 2y \leq 4, which simplifies to y2y \leq 2.
  3. x0x \geq 0 — This inequality restricts the solution to the region where xx is non-negative (right side of the y-axis).
  4. y0y \geq 0 — This restricts the solution to the region where yy is non-negative (above the x-axis).

Steps to Graph the System of Inequalities:

  1. Inequality 1: y2y \leq 2

    • This is a horizontal line at y=2y = 2. The region below or on this line (where yy is less than or equal to 2) is part of the solution.
  2. Inequality 2: x0x \geq 0

    • This restricts the solution to the region where x0x \geq 0, which is the right half-plane (to the right of the y-axis).
  3. Inequality 3: y0y \geq 0

    • This restricts the solution to the region where y0y \geq 0, which is the upper half-plane (above the x-axis).

Graphical Interpretation:

The solution region will be a triangular area bounded by the following:

  • The horizontal line y=2y = 2,
  • The y-axis x=0x = 0,
  • The x-axis y=0y = 0.

Corner Points:

The corner points of the solution region are:

  1. (0,0)(0, 0) — where the x-axis and y-axis meet.
  2. (2,0)(2, 0) — where the line y=2y = 2 intersects the x-axis.
  3. (0,2)(0, 2) — where the line y=2y = 2 intersects the y-axis.

Bounded or Unbounded:

The region is bounded because it is enclosed on all sides by the x-axis, the y-axis, and the line y=2y = 2.

Graphing Summary:

  • The region of interest is a triangle with vertices at (0,0)(0, 0), (2,0)(2, 0), and (0,2)(0, 2).
  • This region is bounded.

Do you want any more details or have questions?
Here are 5 related questions to expand on the topic:

  1. How do we identify if a region is bounded or unbounded?
  2. How do corner points help in solving systems of inequalities graphically?
  3. What would change if the inequality were y2y \geq 2 instead of y2y \leq 2?
  4. Can the graphical method be applied to non-linear inequalities?
  5. How do we find the feasible region in a system with more than two variables?

Tip: Always label the axes and the inequality lines when graphing, as it helps in visualizing the solution region easily.
