Math Problem Statement

With solution

Identify/Shade the feasible region for the system of inequalities: x + y ≥ 3, 3x - y ≥ 6, and 2x + 2y < 16.

Solution

The image shows a system of inequalities for which we need to identify or shade the feasible region. Let's break down the problem step by step:

Inequalities:

  1. x+y3x + y \geq 3
    This is a straight line with equation x+y=3x + y = 3, and the feasible region is above or on this line.

  2. 3xy63x - y \geq 6
    This line has equation 3xy=63x - y = 6, and the feasible region is below or on this line after rearranging it as y3x6y \leq 3x - 6.

  3. 2x+2y<162x + 2y < 16
    Simplifying this, the equation becomes x+y<8x + y < 8, which is a straight line with the region below it.

Feasible Region:

The feasible region is the area where all three inequalities are satisfied. This can be determined by plotting the three boundary lines:

  1. x+y=3x + y = 3
  2. 3xy=63x - y = 6
  3. x+y=8x + y = 8 (this is the simplified form of the third inequality)

The solution requires graphing these and finding the intersection of the shaded regions.

Would you like me to provide a sketch of the feasible region using these inequalities?
