Math Problem Statement
Solution
To determine the set of linear inequalities that correspond to the shaded region in the figure, let's analyze the lines and the region they bound. The figure seems to represent a triangular region formed by three planes in the first octant.
Analyzing the Planes
-
Identify the equations of the planes:
- The line intersecting the -axis at 4, the -axis at 2, and the -axis at 1 can be represented as: \frac{x}{4} + \frac{y}{2} + z = 1 \quad \text{(or equivalently, x + 2y + 4z = 4)}
- The second line passes through the -axis at 2 and the -axis at 2, which can be represented as: \frac{y}{2} + \frac{z}{2} = 1 \quad \text{(or y + z = 2)}
- The third line passes through the -axis at 8 and the -axis at 2: \frac{x}{8} + \frac{z}{2} = 1 \quad \text{(or x + 4z = 8)}
-
Formulate the inequalities: Since the shaded region is in the first octant where , , and , we should consider the inequalities that represent the planes and restrict the solution to this region.
The inequalities representing the region would be:
