Can you tell me how to graph the inequality \"y is less than or equal to negative x squared plus 3?\"
\n" ); document.write( "y <= -x+3
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "You must ALWAYS graph the equality in order to see the graph of an inequality.
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Graph y = -x+3
\n" ); document.write( "You need two points:
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = 0, then y = 3 giving you point (0,3)
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = 3, then y = 0 giving you point (3,0)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Plot the two points and draw a line thru them.
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "To graph the INEQUALITY test a point that is not on the boundary line,
\n" ); document.write( "which is the graph of the equality.
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Test the point (0,0) in the inequality.
\n" ); document.write( "You get 0 < -0+3
\n" ); document.write( "That is true so the solution to the inequality is the half-plane
\n" ); document.write( "that contains (0,0)
\n" ); document.write( "Shade the half-plane below the boundary line.
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "Ans: All the points that are on the line or in the half-plane
\n" ); document.write( "below the line.
