The region represented by the system of inequalities
The region represented by the system of inequalities
Solution
The system of inequalities consists of:
All four inequalities must be satisfied simultaneously.
The inequality represents the region on or to the right of the y-axis.
The inequality represents the region on or above the x-axis.
Together, and define the first quadrant.
The inequality represents the region on or below the horizontal line .
The inequality represents the region on or below the line .
To plot the boundary line :
When : , giving point
When : , giving point
The inequality includes the region toward the origin.
From , the maximum value of occurs when , giving .
Since in the feasible region, the constraint is automatically satisfied and does not restrict the region further.
The feasible region forms a triangle with vertices:
(origin)
(x-axis intercept)
(y-axis intercept)
All three vertices lie in the first quadrant.
The triangular region is completely enclosed and can be contained within a circle.
Therefore, the region is bounded.
The region is a bounded region in the first quadrant.
