Systems of Linear Inequalities Solved Examples

The document discusses systems of linear inequalities and provides two examples. The first example shows how to graphically represent and solve a system of two inequalities. The solution region is the intersection of the half-planes shaded darker. The second example is about a manufacturer with material constraints on pants and jackets production. It shows how to write the constraints as inequalities, graph the lines defined by the inequalities, and find the feasible solutions region bounded by the intersecting lines.

Systems of linear inequalities

Solved examples
 A system of linear inequalities in two variables consists of at least two linear inequalities in the same
variables. The solution of a linear inequality is the ordered pair that is a solution to all inequalities in
the system and the graph of the linear inequality is the graph of all solutions of the system.
 Example
 Graph the system of inequalities

Graph one line in the same coordinate plane and shade the half-plane that satisfies the inequality.
 The solution region which is the intersection of the half-planes is shown in a darker shade
Example 2

 A store has requested a manufacturer to produce pants and sports jackets.


For materials, the manufacturer has 750 m² of cotton textile and 1,000 m² of polyester. Every
pair of pants (1 unit) needs 1 m² of cotton and 2 m² of polyester. Every jacket needs 1.5 m² of
cotton and 1 m² of polyester.
What is the number of pants and jackets that the manufacturer must give to the stores
Solution example 2

 1- Choose the unknowns.


x = number of pants
y = number of jackets
 2- Write the constraints as a system of inequalities.
To write the constraints, use a table:
  x + 1.5y ≤ 750 2x+3y ≤ 1500
 2x + y ≤ 1000
As the number of pants and jackets are natural numbers, there are two more constraints:
 x≥0
 y≥0
 3- Find the set of feasible solutions that graphically represent the constraints.
Represent the constraints graphically.
As x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0, work in the first quadrant.
Represent the straight lines from their points of intersection with the axes
 Solve the inequation graphically: 2x +3y ≤ 1500, and take a point on the plane, for example (0,0).
 2 · 0 + 3 · 0 ≤ 1,500
 Since 0 ≤ 1,500 then the point (0,0) is in the half plane where the inequality is satisfied.
 Similarly, solve 2x + y ≤ 1,000.
 2 · 0 + 0 ≤ 1,000
 The area of intersection of the solutions of the inequalities would be the solution to the system of
inequalities, which is the set of feasible solutions.
 5- Calculate the coordinates of the corner points from the compound of feasible solutions.
These are the solutions to the systems:
 2x + 3y = 1,500; x = 0           (0, 500) point of intersection with the y-axis
 2x + y = 1,000; y = 0           (500, 0) point of intersection with the x-axis
 2x + 3y =1,500; 2x + y = 1,000    (375, 250) point of intersection of the 2 lines
