Q18 of 32 Page 107

Show that the solution set of the following system of linear inequalities is an unbounded region 2x + y ≥ 8, x + 2y ≥ 10, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0

Let’s plot the region of each inequality and then find the common region of all


2x + y ≥ 8


Line: 2x + y = 8



Also, (0, 0) doesn’t satisy the 2x + y ≥ 8, hence region is away from the origin


x + 2y ≥ 10


Line: x + 2y = 10



Also, (0, 0) doesn’t satisy the x + 2y ≥ 10, hence region is away from the origin



x ≥ 0, and y ≥ 0 implies that region is in first quadrant, therefore graph is


Clearly shaded region is unbounded.
