SUMMARY

The point P(0,2) is indeed in the region bounded below by the line y=x. The confusion arises from the interpretation of "bounded below," which refers to the area above the line y=x. Since P(0,2) is located above this line, it satisfies the condition of being in the specified region. Therefore, the conclusion is that the answer is yes, P(0,2) is within the region bounded below by y=x.

Homework Statement


Is the point P(0,2) in the region bounded below by y=x

I'm not quite sure i understand this question. the 'bounded below' part mainly. Is it asking if the point is below the x axis? The wording is confusing me

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


I think the answer is no. because the point is above the x axis

The region bounded below by y = x is the set of points not below the graph of y=x. Or, to put it another way, the set of points on or above that graph.
 


so the answer is actually yes coz it is above the graph
