INEQUALITIES (2 VARIABLES) | Graphing A Solution Set (Page 1 of 4) |
For inequalities in two variables, the TI-83/84 can be used to graph the solution set as long as y can be isolated as a function of x. For example, let's graph the solution set for the inequality . First solve for y: . Then obtain the boundary equation by replacing the inequality symbol with an equality: . Enter the boundary curve as a function Y1, and use a graphing style to shade the solution set to the inequality.
We used the style shown because the solution set is all ordered pairs having a y-value on or above the boundary curve (you need to determine this yourself). Notice how the style icon is an upper shaded triangle. |
