How do you graph
and
on the same graph and shade?
First draw the boudary of
which is the parabola
whose equation is just like the inequality except that an equal
sign replaces the < .
So draw the graph of the boundary parabola,
by plotting these points (-3,1), (-2,-3), (-1.5, -3.5), (-1,-3), (0,1)
but draw it dotted since the inequality has
and not
The graph will be shaded somewhere BELOW this curve.
Next draw the other boundary curve by plotting the
points (-2,-3), (-.75,-.125) ,(-1,0)
but draw it solid since the inequality has
, not
.
Now we shade the part that is below both curves, since
one is
and the other
.
Shade the part indicated below where it says
"SHADE THIS REGION"
