Answer:
Inequalities are,
y ≥ 4x + 2
y ≥ 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Solid yellow line of the graph attached passes through two points (0, -2) and (1, 2).
Let the equation of this line is,
y = mx + b
Slope of the line =
m =
m = 4
Y-intercept 'b' = -2
Equation of the line will be,
y = 4x - 2
Since shaded area is on the left side of this solid line so the inequality representing this region will be,
y ≥ 4x - 2
Another line is a solid blue line parallel to the x-axis.
Shaded region (blue) above the line will be represented by,
y ≥ 2
Therefore, the common shaded area of these inequalities will be the solution of the given inequalities.
it just so happen that √2 is an irrational number, so any product with it as a factor, will yield an irrational number as well.
factoid: Ancient Greeks were scared of irrational numbers, and they steered clear from √2.
