Math Problem Statement
Solution
The graph in the image shows a triangular region bounded by three lines, and the shaded area represents the solution set to a system of inequalities. Let's break down the graph and corresponding inequalities:
-
Diagonal Line: The dashed diagonal line has a positive slope of 1 and crosses the origin (0, 0), so its equation is . Since the shaded region is below the line, the inequality is .
-
Vertical Line: There is a vertical dashed line at . The shaded region is to the left of this line, which corresponds to the inequality .
-
Horizontal Line: There is a horizontal dashed line at . The shaded region is above this line, so the inequality is .
Thus, the system of inequalities is: which matches option A.
Do you have any questions, or would you like further clarification on how the inequalities are derived?
Here are 5 related questions for further exploration:
- How do we determine whether the inequality is or based on the shaded region?
- Why does the inequality change from to in this context?
- How would the graph look if we changed to ?
- What would happen if one of the boundary lines were solid instead of dashed?
- How do systems of inequalities relate to linear programming problems?
Tip: Always check whether the boundary line is solid or dashed—dashed means the line itself is not included in the solution!
