The definition of a system of linear inequalities is very similar to the definition of a system of linear equations.

System of Linear Inequalities

Two or more linear inequalities grouped together form a system of linear inequalities.

A system of linear inequalities looks like a system of linear equations, but it has inequalities instead of equations. A system of two linear inequalities is shown here.

To solve a system of linear inequalities, we will find values of the variables that are solutions to both inequalities. We solve the system by using the graphs of each inequality and show the solution as a graph. We will find the region on the plane that contains all ordered pairs ( x , y ) ( x , y ) that make both inequalities true.

Solutions of a System of Linear Inequalities

Solutions of a system of linear inequalities are the values of the variables that make all the inequalities true.

The solution of a system of linear inequalities is shown as a shaded region in the x, y coordinate system that includes all the points whose ordered pairs make the inequalities true.

To determine if an ordered pair is a solution to a system of two inequalities, we substitute the values of the variables into each inequality. If the ordered pair makes both inequalities true, it is a solution to the system.

Example 4.53

Determine whether the ordered pair is a solution to the system { x + 4 y ≥ 10 3 x − 2 y < 12 . { x + 4 y ≥ 10 3 x − 2 y < 12 .

ⓐ ( −2 , 4 ) ( −2 , 4 ) ⓑ ( 3 , 1 ) ( 3 , 1 )

ⓐ Is the ordered pair ( −2 , 4 ) ( −2 , 4 ) a solution?

The ordered pair ( −2 , 4 ) ( −2 , 4 ) made both inequalities true. Therefore ( −2 , 4 ) ( −2 , 4 ) is a solution to this system.

ⓑ Is the ordered pair ( 3 , 1 ) ( 3 , 1 ) a solution?

The ordered pair ( 3 , 1 ) ( 3 , 1 ) made one inequality true, but the other one false. Therefore ( 3 , 1 ) ( 3 , 1 ) is not a solution to this system.

Solve a System of Linear Inequalities by Graphing

The solution to a single linear inequality is the region on one side of the boundary line that contains all the points that make the inequality true. The solution to a system of two linear inequalities is a region that contains the solutions to both inequalities. To find this region, we will graph each inequality separately and then locate the region where they are both true. The solution is always shown as a graph.

Solve a system of linear inequalities by graphing.

  • Graph the boundary line.
  • Shade in the side of the boundary line where the inequality is true.
  • Shade in the side of that boundary line where the inequality is true.
  • Step 3. The solution is the region where the shading overlaps.
  • Step 4. Check by choosing a test point.

Solve Applications of Systems of Inequalities

The first thing we’ll need to do to solve applications of systems of inequalities is to translate each condition into an inequality. Then we graph the system, as we did above, to see the region that contains the solutions. Many situations will be realistic only if both variables are positive, so we add inequalities to the system as additional requirements.

Example 4.59

Christy sells her photographs at a booth at a street fair. At the start of the day, she wants to have at least 25 photos to display at her booth. Each small photo she displays costs her $4 and each large photo costs her $10. She doesn’t want to spend more than $200 on photos to display.

ⓐ Write a system of inequalities to model this situation. ⓑ Graph the system. ⓒ Could she display 10 small and 20 large photos? ⓓ Could she display 20 small and 10 large photos?

Let
To find the system of equations translate the information.
We have our system of equations.

ⓑ Since x ≥ 0 x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0 y ≥ 0 (both are greater than or equal to) all solutions will be in the first quadrant. As a result, our graph shows only quadrant one.

To graph graph as a solid line.
Choose (0, 0) as a test point. Since it does not make the inequality true, shade (red) the side that does not include the point (0, 0).

To graph graph as a solid line.
Choose (0, 0) as a test point. Since it does make the inequality true, shade (blue) the side that include the point (0, 0).

The solution of the system is the region of the graph that is shaded the darkest. The boundary line sections that border the darkly-shaded section are included in the solution as are the points on the x -axis from (25, 0) to (55, 0).

ⓒ To determine if 10 small and 20 large photos would work, we look at the graph to see if the point (10, 20) is in the solution region. We could also test the point to see if it is a solution of both equations.

It is not, Christy would not display 10 small and 20 large photos.

ⓓ To determine if 20 small and 10 large photos would work, we look at the graph to see if the point (20, 10) is in the solution region. We could also test the point to see if it is a solution of both equations.

It is, so Christy could choose to display 20 small and 10 large photos.

Notice that we could also test the possible solutions by substituting the values into each inequality.

Mary needs to purchase supplies of answer sheets and pencils for a standardized test to be given to the juniors at her high school. The number of the answer sheets needed is at least 5 more than the number of pencils. The pencils cost $2 and the answer sheets cost $1. Mary’s budget for these supplies allows for a maximum cost of $400.

ⓐ Write a system of inequalities to model this situation. ⓑ Graph the system. ⓒ Could Mary purchase 100 pencils and 100 answer sheets? ⓓ Could Mary purchase 150 pencils and 150 answer sheets?

When we use variables other than x and y to define an unknown quantity, we must change the names of the axes of the graph as well.

Example 4.60

Omar needs to eat at least 800 calories before going to his team practice. All he wants is hamburgers and cookies, and he doesn’t want to spend more than $5. At the hamburger restaurant near his college, each hamburger has 240 calories and costs $1.40. Each cookie has 160 calories and costs $0.50.

ⓐ Write a system of inequalities to model this situation. ⓑ Graph the system. ⓒ Could he eat 3 hamburgers and 1 cookie? ⓓ Could he eat 2 hamburgers and 4 cookies?

Let
To find the system of equations translate the information.
The calories from hamburgers at 240 calories each, plus the calories from cookies at 160 calories each
must be more that 800.
We have our system of equations.

ⓑ Since h > = 0 h > = 0 and c > = 0 c > = 0 (both are greater than or equal to) all solutions will be in the first quadrant. As a result, our graph shows only quadrant one.

To graph graph as a solid line.


Choose (0, 0) as a test point. Since it does not make the inequality true, shade (red) the side that does not include the point (0, 0).

Graph 1.40 h + 0.50 c ≤ 5 . 1.40 h + 0.50 c ≤ 5 . The boundary line is 1.40 h + 0.50 c = 5 . 1.40 h + 0.50 c = 5 . We test (0, 0) and it makes the inequality true. We shade the side of the line that includes (0, 0).

The solution of the system is the region of the graph that is shaded the darkest. The boundary line sections that border the darkly shaded section are included in the solution as are the points on the x -axis from (5, 0) to (10, 0).

ⓒ To determine if 3 hamburgers and 1 cookie would meet Omar’s criteria, we see if the point (3, 2) is in the solution region. It is, so Omar might choose to eat 3 hamburgers and 1 cookie.

ⓓ To determine if 2 hamburgers and 4 cookies would meet Omar’s criteria, we see if the point (2, 4) is in the solution region. It is, Omar might choose to eat 2 hamburgers and 4 cookies.

We could also test the possible solutions by substituting the values into each inequality.

Visiting Oranienbaum and Lomonosov

Oranienbaum is perhaps the least visited of St. Petersburg's suburban palaces, despite the rich and unique treasures it has to offer. This can partly be attributed to the decades of neglect that have left most of the buildings in critical condition and allowed the park to be overrun by nature. Thankfully, the estate has now come under the auspices of Peterhof's management, and a massive renovation programme is already underway. For the next several years, however, it will be necessary to check which parts of the park and which buildings are currently open to the public.

Oranienbaum is only 12km along the coast from Peterhof, so it is possible for those with some stamina to combine the two in a single daytrip. A marshrutka minibus (K-348) connects the two estates.
