Solution
To solve the given system of inequalities graphically and identify the corner points, we can follow these steps:
-
Rewrite the inequalities:
-
Convert inequalities to equations:
- From
- From
-
Find the intersection points:
- Solve and simultaneously.
-
Graph the lines:
- Plot the equations and in the first quadrant (since and ).
-
Identify corner points:
- The points where the lines intersect, as well as where they intersect the axes, will provide the corner points.
Step-by-Step Calculations:
-
Finding intersection points:
- From :
- Substitute into : Then substituting back to find :
- So one intersection point is .
-
Finding intercepts:
-
For :
- -intercept:
- -intercept:

Identifying the feasible region:
- We plot the points: , , , , and on a graph.
- The region satisfying all inequalities will be bounded by these lines and the axes.
Summary of Corner Points:
The corner points of the feasible region are:
- (but does not satisfy the constraint)
Conclusion:
- The feasible region is bounded.
- The valid corner points are:
If you have any further questions or need more details, let me know! Here are some follow-up questions you might consider:
- How do I graph these inequalities on a coordinate plane?
- What does it mean for a region to be bounded or unbounded?
- Can you provide examples of other inequalities and their graphical solutions?
- How do the corner points relate to optimization problems?
- What other methods can be used to solve systems of inequalities besides graphical methods?
Tip: Always check that the corner points satisfy all original inequalities to confirm they are part of the feasible region.
