okay, the real question is is the stuff in the middle satisfying the inequality? easy test: try x=0,y=0 (the origin, in other words). Does the inequality "work" if you replace x and y with 0? If so, then all of the points in that area also satisfy the inequality.
then try a point on the x-axis in each of the curved regions and see if their points are included. it's easier to test if you use as many 0's as possible because the arithmetic is simpler.
im coonfused
@Jhannybean help please
@whpalmer4 is just saying to analyze the points that are less than 1 that lay between the hyperbola. Which points are those?
how
D, E, F all are in the same area as (0,0), right? the curved lines are the boundaries of the regions, so if any point in that area satisfies the inequality, so do the others. and vice versa - if any point in the area doesn't satisfy the inequality, neither do any of the others. so, instead of picking a point where you have to do more arithmetic, pick a point where it is easier but gives the same answer.
yes d ,e, f would be correct though
?
@primeralph @oldrin.bataku
am i correct?
@jim_thompson5910
Hold on.
You're correct.
