Math Problem Statement

Write the inequalities that represent the shaded region shown on the graph.

Solution

Thank you for your patience! I can now analyze the question and graph.

Task:

You are asked to write the inequalities that represent the shaded region shown in the graph. Let's extract the key features:


1. Identifying the Lines:

From the image:

  • The graph shows two lines that intersect, and one of them seems to have a solid boundary, indicating that it is part of the solution. The arrows suggest which side is being shaded.

  • Let’s assume the equations of the lines are:

    1. Line 1 (positive slope): y=2x+1y = 2x + 1

      • This line is shaded below, meaning the inequality will involve y2x+1y \leq 2x + 1.
    2. Line 2 (negative slope): y=x+3y = -x + 3

      • This line is shaded above, meaning the inequality will involve yx+3y \geq -x + 3.

2. Writing the Inequalities:

From the description above:

  1. For the line with positive slope:
    y2x+1y \leq 2x + 1 (Shaded below this line)

  2. For the line with negative slope:
    yx+3y \geq -x + 3 (Shaded above this line)


3. Solution:

The inequalities that represent the shaded region are:

y2x+1y \leq 2x + 1 yx+3y \geq -x + 3

These two inequalities together describe the overlapping shaded region on the graph.

5 Questions You Might Be Interested In:

  1. How do you find the slope and intercept of a line from a graph?
  2. How can you tell when to use \leq vs. << in inequalities?
  3. What happens if a region has multiple inequalities intersecting?
  4. How would this graph change if one line were dashed instead of solid?
  5. How can you solve a system of inequalities graphically?

Quick Tip:

Always check if the boundary line is solid or dashed—this tells you if the inequality is strict (<< or >>) or includes equality (\leq or \geq).
