Graph the inequality. \n" ); document.write( "2x + 3y > 6 \n" ); document.write( "--------------------- \n" ); document.write( "You may be having trouble if you are trying to \n" ); document.write( "graph the INequality. What you need to do \n" ); document.write( "is graph the EQUALity and then decide where \n" ); document.write( "the INequality would lie. \n" ); document.write( "-------- \n" ); document.write( "So, graph 2x+3y=6 as a dashed or dotted line. \n" ); document.write( "You need two points: \n" ); document.write( "If x=0, y=2, giving you point (0,2) \n" ); document.write( "If y=0, x=3, giving you point (3,0) \n" ); document.write( "-------- \n" ); document.write( "Plot those two points and draw a dashed or dotted line through them. \n" ); document.write( "That is the \"boundary\" of the INequality. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "----------- \n" ); document.write( "Now you have to figure out on which side of the boundary your INequality \n" ); document.write( "lies. \n" ); document.write( "So pick a test point: for example (0,0) \n" ); document.write( "Test it in your INequality statement: \n" ); document.write( "2x + 3y > 6 \n" ); document.write( "2(0) + 3(0) >6 \n" ); document.write( "0>6 \n" ); document.write( "This is not true; so the side of the dashed line that \n" ); document.write( "contains (0,0) is not the side you want. \n" ); document.write( "Shade the other side of the dashed line. \n" ); document.write( "THAT IS THE GRAPH OF THE INEQUALITY. \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
