Can somebody explain how my solutions manual got the shaded area in their graph ( attached), for the below system? 2x - y > 4 y < -(x*x) + 2 I'm having problems understanding, how to figure out where to shade from a given system..

reorganising: y < 2x - 4 is the region BELOW the line y = 2x - 4. y<-x^2 + 2 is an upside down parabola. This region is is all of inside the parabola. The overall region is the common part of these two regions: below the line AND inside the parabola. does this make sense?

I'm not in modern algebra..therefor your superscript upside down 'v' is confusing as to exactly what it means to me..

Oooh, I was right! Can you see the dotted region under the line y=2x-4? The curve y=-x^2 +2 is what I called an 'upside down' parabola (if it were y=+x^2 + 2, it would be pointing upwards). This type of curve is a parabola. The shaded region below this curve is all 'inside' the curve. The region you are looking for is the OVERLAP of the two regions (shaded dark in your diagram). hth
