\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Start with the given system of inequalities\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%3C=5\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In order to graph this system of inequalities, we need to graph each inequality one at a time.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So lets graph the first inequality\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " In order to graph \"x%3C=5\" we need to graph the equation \"x=5\" (just replace the inequality sign with an equal sign). So lets graph the line \"x=5\" (note: if you need help with graphing, check out this solver)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \"graph%28+400%2C+300%2C+-5%2C+10%2C+-10%2C+10%2C1000%28x-5000%2F1000%29%29\" graph of \"x=5\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " Now lets pick a test point, say (0,0) (any point will work, but this point is the easiest to work with), and evaluate the inequality \"x%3C=5\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \"%280%29%3C=5\" Plug in x=0, y=0\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \"0%3C=5\" Simplify\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since this inequality is true, we shade the entire region containing (0,0)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " Here is the graph of \"x%3C=5\" with the graph of the line(\"x=5\") in red and the shaded region in green \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(note: In this case, the red line is a solid line. This means the boundaries are included in the region.)
