Question 1149768: How do I find the points for an inequality y is greater than or equal to x squared minus 8.
I know that it is a parabola which opens upwards with a vertex of -8.
The program we use only allows for whole numbers to be selected and therefore finding x and y intercept by setting one variable to zero does not work.

            Hey, everything that @josgarithmetic has written in his post, is I R R E L E V A N T and I N C O R R E C T.

            See my solution below.

Solution

You want to find all solutions to this inequality y >= x^2 - 8 The curve y = x^2 - 8 is the parabola opened upwards with the vertex (0,-8). The solutions to the given inequality are ALL POINTS of the coordinate plane, that are on the parabola or ABOVE the parabola.

That's all.
