Why do you think adding and subtracting polynomial expressions is like adding and subtracting

Answer:

Polynomials are closed under addition and subtraction, which is fancy mathspeak that means that whenever we add or subtract two polynomials, we always get another polynomial. In that way, they behave a lot like the numbers you're probably already familiar with. Adding and subtracting:

Two integers gives you another integer
Two rational numbers gives you another rational number
Two real numbers gives you another real number

And it works the same with polynomials!

>= means greater than or equal to
<= means less than or equal to

---------------------------------------------

Part A

The graph of y >= -3x+3 will have a solid boundary line and the shading will be above the boundary line.

The boundary line y = -3x+3 has a negative slope so it moves down as you read it from left to right. It goes through the points (0,3) and (1,0)

--------------

The graph of y < (3/2)x - 6 will have a dashed or dotted boundary line. The shading is below the boundary.

The graph y = (3/2)x-6 goes through the two points (0,-6) and (2,-3)

--------------

If you graph both y >= -3x+3 and y < (3/2)x - 6 together, you get what you see in the attached image. This solution shaded region is the result of the overlapping prior shaded regions.

---------------------------------------------

Part B

Plug (x,y) = (-6,3) into each inequality to see if we get a true inequality or not

For the first inequality we have
y >= -3x+3
3 >= -3*(-6)+3
3 >= 18+3
3 >= 21
which is false. The value 3 is not larger or equal to 21. So right off the bat we know that (-6,3) is NOT a solution. It is NOT in the solution region.

Let's check the other inequality just for the sake of completeness
y < (3/2)x - 6
3 < (3/2)*(-6) - 6
3 < -9 - 6
3 < -15
this is also false. The value -15 is smaller than 3, since it is to the left of 3

We're given more evidence that (-6,3) is NOT in the solution area. It is outside of both shaded areas.
