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. \n" ); document.write( "=========================== \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "=============================================== \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " |
