Q. X2y0X-2y\geq0 x+2y4x+2y\leq4 In which of the following does the shaded region represent the solution set in the xyxy-plane to the system of inequalities?
  1. Identify and Rewrite Inequality: Identify the first inequality and rewrite it in slope-intercept form y=mx+by = mx + b to graph it. The first inequality is X2y0X - 2y \geq 0. To get yy by itself, add 2y2y to both sides and then divide by 2-2. The inequality becomes yX2y \leq \frac{X}{2}. This represents a line with a slope of 12\frac{1}{2} and yy-intercept at 00. The inequality sign indicates that the region above the line is not included, so we will shade below the line.
  2. Graph First Inequality: Graph the first inequality. The line y=X2y = \frac{X}{2} will be a dashed line because the inequality is not strict (it includes the line itself). The region below this line (including the line) will be shaded to represent the solution set for the first inequality.
  3. Identify and Rewrite Second Inequality: Identify the second inequality and rewrite it in slope-intercept form. The second inequality is x+2y4x + 2y \leq 4. To get yy by itself, subtract xx from both sides and then divide by 22. The inequality becomes yX2+2y \leq -\frac{X}{2} + 2. This represents a line with a slope of 12-\frac{1}{2} and yy-intercept at 22. The inequality sign indicates that the region below the line is included, so we will shade below the line.
  4. Graph Second Inequality: Graph the second inequality. The line y=X2+2y = -\frac{X}{2} + 2 will be a solid line because the inequality includes the line itself. The region below this line will be shaded to represent the solution set for the second inequality.
  5. Determine Intersection of Shaded Regions: Determine the intersection of the shaded regions. The solution to the system of inequalities will be the region where the shading from the first inequality (below y=X2y = \frac{X}{2}) and the shading from the second inequality (below y=X2+2y = -\frac{X}{2} + 2) overlap. This is the region that satisfies both inequalities simultaneously.
  6. Final Shaded Region: The final shaded region is the area that is below both lines on the graph. This is the region that satisfies both X2y0X - 2y \geq 0 and x+2y4x + 2y \leq 4. The region is bounded by the lines y=X2y = \frac{X}{2} and y=X2+2y = -\frac{X}{2} + 2 and includes the area where these two inequalities overlap.
