Question 16
<pre>How would you solve the system, y is greater than or equal to x+1 y is less
than or eqal to -2x-3
------------------------------------------------
You don't "solve" it, you graph the solution set:
y <u>></u> x+1
y <u><</u> -2x-3
Form the boundary equations by replacing the inequality symbols with
equal signs
y = x+1
y = -2x-3
First draw the graph of y = x+1 by finding two points, say (0,1) and (1,0) and
drawing a line through them.  I'll draw it red:
{{{ graph( 200, 200, -5, 5, -5, 5, x+1) }}}
Now on the same set of axes, draw the graph of y = -2x-3 by finding two points,
say (0,-3) and (-1,-1) and drawing a line through them.  I'll draw it green:
{{{ graph( 200, 200, -5, 5, -5, 5, x+1, -2*x-3) }}}
y <u>></u> x+1
y <u><</u> -2x-3
Now you're supposed to shade the wedge which is above the red line (above
because it's "y <u>></u>"), and also below the green line, (below because it's "y <u><</u>"
I can't do that on here, but it's the v-shaped wedge on the left.
