Find the linear inequations for which the shaded area in Fig. 15.41 is the solution set.
Find the linear inequations for which the shaded area in Fig. 15.41 is the solution set. Draw the diagram of the solution set of the linear inequations:
Considering the line $2 x+3 y=6$, we find that the shaded region and the origin $(0,0)$ are on the opposite side of this line and $(0,0)$ does not satisfy the inequation $2 x+3 y \geq 6$ So, the first inequation is $2 x+3 y \geq 6$
Considering the line $4 x+6 y=24$, we find that the shaded region and the origin $(0,0)$ are on the same side of this line and $(0,0)$ satisfies the inequation $4 x+6 y \leq 24$ So, the corresponding inequation is $4 x+6 y \leq 24$
Considering the line $x-2 y=2$, we find that the shaded region and the origin $(0,0)$ are on the same side of this line and $(0,0)$ satisfies the inequation $x-2 y \leq 2$ So, the corresponding inequation is $x-2 y \leq 2$
Considering the line $-3 x+2 y=3$, we find that the shaded region and the origin $(0,0)$ are on the same side of this line and $(0,0)$ satisfies the inequation $-3 x+2 y \leq 3$ So, the corresponding inequation is $-3 x+2 y \leq 3$
Also, the shaded region is in the first quadrant. Therefore, we must have $x \geq 0$ and $y \geq 0$
Thus, the linear inequations comprising the given solution set are given below:
$2 x+3 y \geq 6,4 x+6 y \leq 24, x-2 y \leq 2,-3 x+2 y \leq 3, x \geq 0$ and $y \geq 0$
