Solve the following system of inequalities graphically:
x – 2y ≤ 3, 3x + 4y ≥ 12, x ≥ 0 , y ≥ 1
Given,
x – 2y 3
Putting value of x = 0 and y = 0 in equation one by one, we get value of
y = -3/2 = -1.5 and x = 3
The required points are (0, -1.5) and (3, 0)
Checking for the origin (0, 0)
0 ≤ 3, this is true.
Hence the solution area would be on the left of the line`s graph
3x + 4y 12,
Putting value of x = 0 and y = 0 in equation one by one, we get value of
y = 3 and x = 4
The required points are ( 0,3) and (4,0)
Checking for the origin (0, 0)
0 ≥ 12 , this is not true
So the solution area would of include the origin and the required solution area would be on the right side of the line`s graph.
x 0 ,
For all the values of y, the value of x would be same in the given inequality, which would be the region above the x axis on the graph.
y 1
For all the values of x, the value of y would be same in the given inequality.
The solution area of the line would be not include origin as 0 ≥ 1 is not true.
The solution area would be on the left side of the line`s graph.
The shaded area in the graph is the required solution area which satisfies all the given inequalities at the same time.
