Intersection of inequalities problem.

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on finding the intersection of two inequalities: S defined by the equation x² + y² ≤ 100 and T defined by x + y ≤ 14. The user seeks a method beyond trial and error to determine the intersection points. The proposed algebraic manipulation does not yield valid results, indicating a misunderstanding of how to combine inequalities. The correct approach involves graphing the equations and identifying the regions formed by their intersections.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of inequalities in two dimensions
  • Familiarity with graphing quadratic equations
  • Knowledge of linear equations and their graphical representation
  • Basic skills in identifying regions formed by intersecting graphs
NEXT STEPS
  • Graph the inequalities x² + y² ≤ 100 and x + y ≤ 14 to visualize their intersection

  • Study methods for solving systems of inequalities algebraically
  • Explore the use of Venn diagrams in representing intersections of sets
USEFUL FOR

Students and educators in mathematics, particularly those studying algebra and geometry, as well as anyone interested in solving systems of inequalities and understanding their graphical representations.

I need to graph/find numbers for S∩T where S is x^2+y^2 <=100 and T is x+y<=14.

I know I can find them simply by choosing/picking them, but are there any other solution ?

I thought maybe doing

x^2+y^2 <=100
+
x+y<=14
=
x^2+y^2 + x+y<=14 +100 =
x^2+y^2 + x+y<=114 =
x^2+y^2 <= 114-x-y =
x+y <= sqrt(114-x-y) <-- doesn't work for x=7 and y=7 ?

OR am I doing something wrong ?

Venn diagram confirms that to find an intersection I need to add them and this should yield the result, but this doesn't work ? why ??

thank you for any responses !:D

Graph the equations and identify points of intersection. Look for the different plane regions which the graphs form. Pick a point in each region and test if the point satisfies both equations.
