Algebra.Com's Answer #741153 by greenestamps(13200)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! \n" ); document.write( "|x| is always 0 or positive; so \n" ); document.write( "3|x| is always 0 or positive; so \n" ); document.write( "3|x|+1 is always positive \n" ); document.write( "So the graph of the EQUATION y = 3|x|+1 is always above the x-axis, which means it is never in quadrants III or IV. \n" ); document.write( "And then since the graph of y = 3|x|+1 is never in quadrants III or IV, the graph of the inequality y > 3|x|+1 is also never in quadrants III or IV. \n" ); document.write( "Finally, there are no restrictions on the value of x, so x can be either positive or negative (or 0); so the graphs of the equation AND the inequality are in both quadrants I and II. \n" ); document.write( "Answer B. \n" ); document.write( " |
