You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First, graph the equation \"y=x%5E2\" (this curve will serve as the boundary)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Note: since there is an '=' sign in the inequality, this means that the boundary is a solid line\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " Graph of \"y=x%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now pick a point that is NOT on the curve of \"y=x%5E2\". Let's pick the point (0,1). This means that we have the values \"x=0\" and \"y=1\". Now plug them into the inequality:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y%3E=x%5E2\" Go back to the inequality\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"1%3E=0%5E2\" Plug in \"x=0\" and \"y=1\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"1%3E=0\" Square 0 to get 0\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since this inequality is true, this means that we shade the ENTIRE region that this point lies in. So just shade the region above the graph to get the following:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Graph of \"y%3E=x%5E2\" where the red line is the boundary equation \"y=x%5E2\" (solid line) with the shaded region in green.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
