CHAPTER 10 : REGION FOR INEQUALITIES

Define The Inequalities Area

The regions representing inequalities in two variables:

Skills Important NotesTo shade the region which satisfies the

inequalities of the form:

x > h, x < h,

x h and x h

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 Important Notes

To shade the region which satisfies the

inequalities of the form :

y > k, y < ky and y k

y > k : region above the line.

y < k : region below the line.

Region


To shade the region which satisfies

inequalities of the form :

y > ax + b

y < ax + b

y ax + b and

y ax + b

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

Above, solid line

Below, solid line

> Above, dotted line

< Below, dotted line

Region


To shade the region which satisfies two or

three inequalities.

Consider the inequality one by one.

If 2 inequalities are given, draw the 2 corresponding

lines, then determine the region that satisfies both theinequalities.

If 3 inequalities are given, you must draw 3 straight

lines. The region has 3 boundaries.

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.
