Study Notes
Solving Inequalities by Graphing with Two Equations
- The objective is to determine the solution set for a system of two inequalities.
- Graph both inequalities and pinpoint the area where their shaded regions intersect.
- To graph each inequality, identify a minimum of two points that fulfill the equation to create the boundary line.
- Select x and y values, using x=0 and y=0 to find the intercepts
- Draw a solid line to show that the line's points are part of the solution if the inequality incorporates "equal to."
- Use a dashed line when the inequality doesn't include "equal to".
Graphing the First Equation
- Two points are sufficient for defining a line on the graph.
- Replace x=0 to find y, and y=0 to find x.
- Use the derived points to plot the line on the graph.
- To determine which side to shade, test a point (e.g., (0,0)) in the original inequality.
- Shade the side containing the test point if the inequality holds true for that point.
- Shade the opposing side if the inequality is not true.
Graphing the Second Equation
- The process mirrors graphing the first equation: choose values for x and y, then solve for X and Y.
- Use the points to plot the line on the graph.
- To determine which side to shade, test a point (e.g., (0,0)) using the original inequality.
- Shade the side containing the test point if the inequality holds true for that point.
- Shade the opposing side if the inequality is not true.
Identifying the Solution Set
- The solution to the inequalities system lies in the region where the shading of both inequalities overlap.
- This shared area represents all points that satisfy both inequalities concurrently.
Special Considerations
- When dividing by a negative number while solving for a variable, remember to reverse the inequality sign.
- Errors in graphing the lines or shading will lead to an incorrect solution set.
- Prior to tackling systems of inequalities, students should practice graphing individual inequalities.
