O Level Maths Notes: Sketching Inequalities and Finding The Region Satisfied By Inequalities (1)
The only real way to solve multiple inequalities of the
form
etc
is to put all the inequalities on the same diagram and find the
region satisfying all the inequalities as a part of the
plane.
Example: Find the region satisfying the three
inequalities
Label this region with the letter![]()
The line
is
drawn. We want the region below the line so we shaded the region we
do not want – above the line.

All the lines are solid because points on the line may satisfy the inequalities.
