Math Problem Statement

Is (2,6) a solution to this system of inqualites y<x+4, x>2 yes or no

Solution

To check if (2,6)(2, 6) is a solution to the system of inequalities:

  1. Inequality 1: y<x+4y < x + 4

    • Substitute x=2x = 2 and y=6y = 6: 6<2+4    6<66 < 2 + 4 \implies 6 < 6 This is false, because 66 is not less than 66.
  2. Inequality 2: x>2x > 2

    • Substitute x=2x = 2: 2>22 > 2 This is also false, because 22 is not greater than 22.

Since both inequalities are false, the point (2,6)(2, 6) is not a solution to the system.

Here are 5 related questions you might consider:

  1. How do you solve a system of inequalities graphically?
  2. What is the difference between "less than" and "less than or equal to" in inequalities?
  3. How do you test if a point satisfies a single inequality?
  4. Can a point satisfy only one inequality in a system and still be considered a solution?
  5. How does changing the slope or intercept in an inequality affect its graph?

Tip: When testing points in inequalities, always substitute the values directly and compare carefully.
