Answer

To shade the region R that satisfies the given inequalities, we proceed with the following steps:

  1. Plotting the boundaries of each inequality:

    • For the inequality x0x \geq 0, shade to the right of the y-axis.
    • For x2x \leq 2, shade to the left of the line x=2x = 2.
    • For y<x+3y < x + 3, draw the line y=x+3y = x + 3 and shade below this line.
    • For 2x+3y>62x + 3y > 6, rewrite it as y>23x+2y > -\frac{2}{3}x + 2. Draw the line and shade above it.
  2. Finding the overlapping region: The final region R is where all shaded areas overlap.

  3. Label the region: Clearly label this overlapping region as R on the grid.

Step 2

Answer

To determine if Geoffrey is correct regarding the point (2, 4), we need to check if this point satisfies all inequalities:

  1. Check each inequality:

    • For y4xy \leq 4x:
      Substitute (2, 4): 44(2)4=84 \leq 4(2) \Rightarrow 4 = 8 (True).
    • For y>12xy > \frac{1}{2}x:
      Substitute (2, 4):
      4>12(2)4>14 > \frac{1}{2}(2) \Rightarrow 4 > 1 (True).
    • For x+y6x + y \leq 6:
      Substitute (2, 4):
      2+466=62 + 4 \leq 6 \Rightarrow 6 = 6 (True).
  2. Conclusion:
    The point (2, 4) lies on the boundary of the last inequality, x+y=6x + y = 6, meaning it satisfies all conditions since it includes points on the boundary for \leq.

Therefore, Geoffrey is incorrect; the point (2, 4) does satisfy all inequalities.
