Question
Show that the solution set of the following linear in equations is an unbounded set:
$\text{x}+\text{y}\geq9,3\text{x}+\text{y}\geq12,\text{x}\geq0,\text{y}\geq0.$

Answer



We have,

$\text{x}+\text{y}\geq9,3\text{x}+\text{y}\geq12,\text{x}\geq0,\text{y}\geq0.$

Converting the inequations into equations, we get

x + y = 9, 3x + y = 12, x = 0 and y = 0.

Region represented by $\text{x}+\text{y}\geq9.$

Putting x = 0 in x + y = 9, we get y = 9.

Putting y = 0 in x + y = 9, we get x = 9.

$\therefore$ The line x + y = 9 meets the coordinat axes at (0, 9) and (9, 0). Join these points by a thick line.

Now, putting x = 0 and y = 0 in $\text{x}+\text{y}\geq9.$ we get 0 9 This is not possible.

$\therefore$ We find that (0, 0) is not satisfies the inequation $\text{x}+\text{y}\geq9.$

So, the portion not containing the origin is represented by the given inequation.

Region represented by 3x + y > 12:

Putting x = 0 in 3x + y = 12, we get y = 12

Putting y = 0 in 3x + y = 12, we get $\text{x}=\frac{12}{3}=4$

$\therefore$ The line 3x + y = 12 meets the coordinate axes at (0, 12) and (4, 0). Joining these points by a thick line.

Now, putting x = 0 and y = 0 in $3\text{x}+\text{y}\geq12$ we get, $0\geq12$

This is not possible.

$\therefore$ We find that (0, 0) is not satisfies the inequation $3\text{x}+\text{y}\geq12.$ so the portion not containing the origin is represented by the given inequation.

Region represented by $\text{x}\geq0$ and $\text{y}\geq0$: clearly, $\text{x}\geq0$ and $\text{y}\geq0$ represent the first quadrant.
