Exam questions on Representing inequalities graphically

  1. A region RR of the xx-yy plane contains all the points (x,y)(x,y) that satisfy both y>x+1y>x+1 and y≤5y\le5.
    Find the coordinates of the point where the two boundary lines meet, and state, with a reason, whether this point belongs to RR.2 marks
  2. The region SS contains all the points (x,y)(x,y) that satisfy both y≥x2−4y\ge x^2-4 and y<2x−1y<2x-1.
    Show that the point (3,5)(3,5) lies on the boundary of SS but is not in SS.2 marks
  3. The region TT contains all the points (x,y)(x,y) that satisfy both y>x2−2x−3y>x^2-2x-3 and y≤0y\le0.
    Find the coordinates of the points where the curve y=x2−2x−3y=x^2-2x-3 crosses the axes, and the coordinates of its minimum point.3 marks
