Constraints

x≥0

y≥0

y<−4x+16

y<− 3 1 ​ x+5

Solution

Given the system of inequalities:

  1. x0x \geq 0
  2. y0y \geq 0
  3. y<4x+16y < -4x + 16
  4. y<13x+5y < -\frac{1}{3}x + 5

These inequalities represent the constraints on xx and yy. Let's analyze them:

1. x0x \geq 0:

  • This indicates that xx must be non-negative. The solution lies in the right half-plane.

2. y0y \geq 0:

  • This indicates that yy must be non-negative. The solution lies in the upper half-plane.

3. y<4x+16y < -4x + 16:

  • This is a linear inequality representing the region below the line y=4x+16y = -4x + 16. The line has a slope of 4-4 and a y-intercept at 16.

4. y<13x+5y < -\frac{1}{3}x + 5:

  • This is another linear inequality representing the region below the line y=13x+5y = -\frac{1}{3}x + 5. The line has a slope of 13-\frac{1}{3} and a y-intercept at 5.

Intersection of Inequalities:

The feasible region that satisfies all these inequalities is where the regions overlap. Specifically:

  • x0x \geq 0 and y0y \geq 0 confine the solution to the first quadrant.
  • The intersection of the areas below the lines y=4x+16y = -4x + 16 and y=13x+5y = -\frac{1}{3}x + 5 in this quadrant defines the solution region.

  5. How do changes in inequalities affect the solution region?

Tip: Always start by sketching the boundary lines when solving inequalities; it helps to visualize the solution region clearly.
