Describe the graph of 3x+y<1 \n" ); document.write( "--------------- \n" ); document.write( "Solve for y: y <-3x+1 \n" ); document.write( "----------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "The boundary of the solution set is y=3x+1 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "--------------- \n" ); document.write( "Take a test point that is not on the boundary, like (0,0) \n" ); document.write( "Substitute the x and y values of the test point into the \n" ); document.write( "inequality: 0 < 0 +1 \n" ); document.write( "This is false, so the half-plane solution set for the \n" ); document.write( "inequality is on the side of the boundary that does not \n" ); document.write( "contain (0,0)-------------that would be the half-plane \n" ); document.write( "above the boundary line. \n" ); document.write( "--------------- \n" ); document.write( "Note the boundary line is NOT part of the solution set because \n" ); document.write( "equality is not stated in the original equation. \n" ); document.write( "----------------------- \n" ); document.write( "The solution is \"d\". \n" ); document.write( "-------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " |
