The region represented by the system of inequalities x,y≥0,y≤6,x+y≤3x, y \geq 0, y \leq 6, x + y \leq 3

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

The system of inequalities consists of:

x≥0x \geq 0

y≥0y \geq 0

y≤6y \leq 6

x+y≤3x + y \leq 3

All four inequalities must be satisfied simultaneously.


The inequality x≥0x \geq 0 represents the region on or to the right of the y-axis.

The inequality y≥0y \geq 0 represents the region on or above the x-axis.

Together, x≥0x \geq 0 and y≥0y \geq 0 define the first quadrant.


The inequality y≤6y \leq 6 represents the region on or below the horizontal line y=6y = 6.

The inequality x+y≤3x + y \leq 3 represents the region on or below the line x+y=3x + y = 3.


To plot the boundary line x+y=3x + y = 3:

When x=0x = 0: y=3y = 3, giving point (0,3)(0, 3)

When y=0y = 0: x=3x = 3, giving point (3,0)(3, 0)

The inequality x+y≤3x + y \leq 3 includes the region toward the origin.


From x+y≤3x + y \leq 3, the maximum value of yy occurs when x=0x = 0, giving y=3y = 3.

Since y≤3y \leq 3 in the feasible region, the constraint y≤6y \leq 6 is automatically satisfied and does not restrict the region further.


The feasible region forms a triangle with vertices:

(0,0)(0, 0) (origin)

(3,0)(3, 0) (x-axis intercept)

(0,3)(0, 3) (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.
