Define The Inequalities Area The regions representing inequalities in two variables: Skills To shade the region which satisfies the inequalities of the form: x > h, x < h, x h and x h Important Notes x h is equivalent to x > h and x = h x h is equivalent to x < h and x = h x > h : region on the right and x < h : region on the left of the line x = h Region
Skills
To shade the region which satisfies the inequalities of the form : y > k, y < k y and y k
Important Notes
y > k : region above the line. y < k : region below the line.
Region
Skills To shade the region which satisfies inequalities of the form : y > ax + b y < ax + b y ax + b and y ax + b
Important Notes y > ax + b : region above the line y < ax + b : region below the line The line y = ax + b is shown as a dotted line for region satisfying y > ax + b or y < ax + b
> <
Region
Important Notes Consider the inequality one by one. If 2 inequalities are given, draw the 2 corresponding lines, then determine the region that satisfies both the inequalities. If 3 inequalities are given, you must draw 3 straight lines. The region has 3 boundaries. Region
x>5 y -2
x<6 y x x+y 6
Common Errors Student are not sure whether x = 3 is a horizontal or vertical line, likewise for y = 1. Students are not able to differentiate between solid lines and dotted lines. Students failed to identify the correct region. Students are weak in drawing straight lines of the form y = mx + c or x + y = k.
