MHB Finding Two Points in a Convex Set: Help Needed!

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around finding two points within a specified convex set defined by the inequalities 1≤ ∣x1∣ ≤2 and ∣x2−3∣ ≤ 2, such that the line segment connecting these points lies outside the set. The user has graphed the function but is struggling to identify the correct points. Clarification is provided that solving the inequalities is essential before graphing to confirm the set's convexity. The user confirms they have resolved the question about the set's convexity. The focus remains on determining the appropriate points that meet the criteria.

I have two a convex set:

{(x1, x2): 1≤ ∣x1∣ ≤2, ∣x2−3∣ ≤ 2}

I have to find two points in the set for which the line segment joining the points goes outside the set. I have graphed the function and found my convex set. My question is, how do I find these two points? I have found various points in which the answer is still incorrect.

Please help me. Thank you in advanced.

Is that set convex? Before you graph it, you need to solve those inequalities.
 
Thank you, I got the answer to that question.
