Topic: Graphing Systems of Inequalities

What is a solution?

How can solutions
to inequalities be
represented
graphically?



Example: Show all
the solutions to
.
How would
be
graphed? Graph
also.



How could you
describe a system
of inequalities?



How do you solve
systems of
inequalities? How
is the solution
represented?
A solution is .

The solutions to inequalities can be represented















A system of inequalities can be described



There are multiple ways to solve systems of inequalities, including
Summarize key ideas from todays lesson:








Ralph loves steak and potatoes so much that he has decided to consume only those two foods for the rest
of his life. He is aware that this is not the healthiest possible choice of diet, so he wants to satisfy least
some key nutritional requirements. He has obtained this nutrition and cost information:
















If we let Steak be represented by x and Potatoes represented by y, what equation/inequality could we
write for carbohydrates? How could we graph that math sentence? What does the line represent? What
does the shading represent?

What equation/inequality could we write for protein? How could we graph that math sentence? What does
the line represent? What does the shading represent? What does the overlapping shading represent?

What equation/inequality could we write for fat? How could we graph that math sentence? What does the
line represent? What does the shading represent? What does the overlapping shading represent?

What do the following points on the graph represent? (

What point represents the best amount of steak and potatoes for Ralph to eat based on the graph?
