I) y ≥ 0 II) y ≤ x III) x + y ≤ 3
(it's all the same problem i have to use all three to find the answer)
somebody? anybody?
@thomaster
Is the answer to be in the form of a graph or something else?
@directrix all it tells me is "On a separate sheet of paper graph each system of inequalities and enter your answer in the space provided. Show your work." But since i don't have a graph I'm assuming i just input my answer somehow
I suggest that we use the Desmos online graphing program. Are you up for that?
Sure, how do you use it?
@Directrix
Go over there and click on launch calculator.
alrighty
Do you see the grid with the "keys" underneath?
yes
Copy and get ready to paste your first inequality next to the blue 1 on the upper left side. The 1 is for the first equation. Do that and let's see what happens.
from the 0 up it's all red
i entered all three equations and they all intersect at (1.5, 1.5)
It should be because that is where all points with y coordinate 0 and bigger are found. Now, enter your second equation.
done and done i entered all three (-:
You are fast.
would my answer be where they intersect?
X out the keyboard. You can make the graph zoom by moving your cursor or whatever you are using. The intersection is your answer. How to describe that is the next question.
Would (1.5, 1.5) describe it?
(thank you for your help btw!)
To get the coordinates of the triangle that is the intersection of all 3 graphs, put you cursor on the point and click. The coordinates will pop up.
Thanks! I have a few more questions i could sure use a little help on if your willing (-:
I don't think we are finished with this yet. We have the graph but what are you supposed to do with it?
ohhh i'm sorry i thought that the intersection points was enough i'm actually not quite sure what i'm supposed to do with the intersection points....
No. That was just something to see.
Your answer program should tell you how to enter the answer. What does it say?
all my homework says is On a separate sheet of paper graph each system of inequalities and enter your answer in the space provided. Show your work. so i'm not exactly sure what they want
If these three inequalities were equalities, then the answer would be the one point all three of the lines have in common. But, that is not what we are doing. We will have infinitely many answers because of the inequalities. Maybe we are supposed to give the x restrictions on that triangle and also the y restrictions.
Go to the graph and find the smallest x of the 3-way shade. What is it?
(0,3) i think
(0,3) is on the y-axis.
Here is the intersection.
oh i'm sorry (3,0)
Keep the Desmos graph open.
On the x-axis, the smallest value of x included in the 3-way shade is the leftmost x coordinate. It is not (3,0). Look again.
(0,3) is not in the 3-way shade. That point is not part of the solution
(0,3) does not make the second inequality true. y ≤ x Is 3 ≤ 0. No.
(i've been looking on the graph and i'll be darned if i can find another point)
Look at my attachment.
0,0?!
Answer this question: The x values of the solution begin at ? and end at ?
The x values begin at 0 and end where?
3
The y coordinates in the shade begin where and end where
1.5 and 1.5?
so far i have (0,0) (1.5, 1.5) (3,0)
@Directrix ?
I'm thinking how the solution set should be written.
Oh ok just making sure you were still here (-:
The triangular region is the graph of the solution set. The solution set has domain; 0 ≤ x ≤ 3 The solution set has range 0 ≤ y ≤ 1.5
(so would that be my finial answer?)
That does not look right but I am not sure why.
We need to find somebody for a second opinion on this.
alright but who?
btw for the next question it is I) x ≥ 0 II) y ≥ 0 III) x – y + 2 > 0 IV) 2x – y < 2 and i found this so far using that calculator gizmo (-2,0) (0,2) (4,6) (1,0)
