The feasible region is the area on the graph where all three inequalities , , and are satisfied simultaneously. It is a trapezoidal area bounded by the lines , , and .

Solución

Certainly! Let’s analyze and graph the given system of linear inequalities:

Step 1: Graph the Boundary Lines

  1. First Inequality:
    • Boundary Line: (a solid line because the inequality is )
    • Slope (m): 2
    • Y-intercept (b):
  2. Second Inequality:
    • Boundary Line: (a dashed vertical line because the inequality is )
  3. Third Inequality:
    • Boundary Line: (a dashed horizontal line because the inequality is )

Step 2: Plot Each Boundary Line

  1. Plotting :
    • Start at on the y-axis.
    • Use the slope to find another point: from , rise 2 units and run 1 unit to the right to reach .
    • Draw a solid line through these points.
  2. Plotting :
    • Draw a dashed vertical line crossing the x-axis at .
  3. Plotting :
    • Draw a dashed horizontal line crossing the y-axis at .

Step 3: Determine the Shaded Regions

  1. For :
    • Shade above the line .
  2. For :
    • Shade to the right of the line .
  3. For :
    • Shade below the line .

Step 4: Identify the Feasible Region

The feasible region is where all shaded areas overlap. This region satisfies all three inequalities simultaneously.

Step 5: Find Intersection Points (Vertices)

To better understand the feasible region, let’s find where the boundary lines intersect:
  1. Intersection of and :
  2. Intersection of and :
  3. Intersection of and :

Step 6: Sketch the Graph

While I can’t provide a visual plot here, here’s a description to help you sketch it:
  1. Draw the axes with appropriate scales.
  2. Plot the boundary lines:
    • Draw a solid line for .
    • Draw a dashed vertical line at .
    • Draw a dashed horizontal line at .
  3. Shade the regions:
    • Shade above the solid line .
    • Shade to the right of the dashed line .
    • Shade below the dashed line .
  4. Identify the overlapping area, which is bounded:
    • On the left by .
    • Below by .
    • Above by .
This overlapping (feasible) region represents all the points that satisfy all three inequalities simultaneously.

Step 7: Analyze the Feasible Region

  • Boundaries:
    • The vertical boundary limits the region to .
    • The line serves as the lower boundary.
    • The horizontal line serves as the upper boundary.
  • Vertices (Corner Points):
    • Intersection of and :
    • Intersection of and :
    • Intersection of and :
These vertices can be useful for optimization problems or further analysis within the feasible region.

Summary

The solution to the system of inequalities is the set of all points that lie:
  • To the right of .
  • Above the line .
  • Below the line .
This region is a trapezoidal area on the coordinate plane bounded by the lines mentioned above.

The given system of linear inequalities represents a region in the Cartesian plane that we can visualize! The inequality describes a line with a slope of 2, where the area above the line is included in the solution. The constraint limits the region to the right of the vertical line at . Finally, the inequality restricts the area to below the horizontal line at . The intersection of these regions gives you a polygonal area that satisfies all conditions, which can be a fun challenge to sketch!
When solving systems like this, it’s easy to misinterpret the inequalities. A common mistake is to forget that the boundary lines are “included” or “not included” based on whether the inequality is <= or < . For instance, in the case of , the line itself isn’t included in the solution. Ensure you clearly differentiate between solid and dashed lines when graphing—solid for inequalities including equalities (like ) and dashed for strict inequalities (like <) to avoid overlaps in your solution interpretation!
