If the regions which satisfy each inequality are feft unshaded then solution can be found which satisfies all the inequalities, ic. the region left unshaded by all the inequalities. Worked example On the same pair of axes leave unshaded the regions which satisfy the following inequalities simultaneously: x<2 yo-l yS3) ysxt2 Hence find the region which satisfies all four inequalities. If the four inequalities are graphed on separate axes the solutions are as shown below: xe2 yoot ys3 i 7 a2 ae | yext2 Combining all four on cone pair of axes gives this diagram. The unshaded region therefore gives a solution which satisfies all four inequalities. 44 879] Algebra and graphs Exercise 14.3 Worked example On the same pair of axes plot the following inequalities and leave unshaded the region which satisfies all of them simultaneously.
