Exam questions on Inequalities represented graphically

  1. A region RR of the xyxy-plane is defined by the inequalities y>x+1y>x+1 and y≤5−xy\le5-x.
    Find the coordinates of the vertex of RR, and state whether this vertex belongs to RR.2 marks
  2. The curve CC has equation y=x2−4x+3y=x^2-4x+3 and the line LL has equation y=x−1y=x-1.
    Find the set of values of xx for which CC lies on or above LL.2 marks
  3. A baker plans a day's work using xx trays of rolls and yy trays of cakes, where xx and yy are whole numbers. The constraints are x≥1x\ge1, y≥2y\ge2 and 2x+y≤102x+y\le10.
    The inequalities define a triangular region when drawn. Find the coordinates of its three vertices.3 marks
