Answer
To shade the region R that satisfies the given inequalities, we proceed with the following steps:
Plotting the boundaries of each inequality:
For the inequality x≥0, shade to the right of the y-axis.
For x≤2, shade to the left of the line x=2.
For y<x+3, draw the line y=x+3 and shade below this line.
For 2x+3y>6, rewrite it as y>−32x+2. Draw the line and shade above it.
Finding the overlapping region:
The final region R is where all shaded areas overlap.
Label the region:
Clearly label this overlapping region as R on the grid.

Answer
To determine if Geoffrey is correct regarding the point (2, 4), we need to check if this point satisfies all inequalities:
Check each inequality:
For y≤4x:
Substitute (2, 4):
4≤4(2)⇒4=8 (True).
For y>21x:
Substitute (2, 4): 4>21(2)⇒4>1 (True).
For x+y≤6:
Substitute (2, 4): 2+4≤6⇒6=6 (True).
Conclusion:
The point (2, 4) lies on the boundary of the last inequality, x+y=6, meaning it satisfies all conditions since it includes points on the boundary for ≤.
Therefore, Geoffrey is incorrect; the point (2, 4) does satisfy all inequalities.
