Question 125978: Okay, I've got one more, this one is also from a worksheet.
Solve the following system of linear inequalities by graphing.
x+2y is less than or equal to 3
2x-3y is less than or equal to 6
I think I've got the graphing but the shading is what confuses me, could you explain why the different areas are shaded they way they are? Thanks!

Question 133224: I have been busting my head over a matrices problem where I need to find a pattern between the original square matrix (4, 2, 2, 4) and its exponential values.
The matrix squared is (20, 16, 16, 20) or 2(10, 8, 8, 10).
The matrix cubed is (112, 104, 104, 112) or 2(56, 52, 52, 56).
The matrix to the power of 4 is (656, 640, 640, 656) or 2(328, 320, 320, 328).
The matrix to the power of 5 is (3904, 3872, 3872, 3904) or 2(1952, 1936, 1936, 1952).
The matrix to the power of 7 is (140032, 139904, 139904, 140032) or 2(70016, 69952, 69952, 70016).
So far, what I have figured out is that the difference between the different elements in the matrices is always 2^n. As well, taking the original matrix, one can see that when k=3, the data inside the matrix is k+1 in two positions and k-1 in the other two. I can also factor out a 4 from each matrix, but that didn't seem to lead anywhere.
Can anyone help me with this emergency?
