1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,690 2 00:00:00,690 --> 00:00:04,049 We're asked to determine the solution set of this system, 3 00:00:04,049 --> 00:00:06,699 and we actually have three inequalities right here. 4 00:00:06,700 --> 00:00:10,470 A good place to start is just to graph the solution sets for 5 00:00:10,470 --> 00:00:13,390 each of these inequalities and then see where they overlap. 6 00:00:13,390 --> 00:00:16,250 And that's the region of the x, y coordinate plane that 7 00:00:16,250 --> 00:00:17,850 will satisfy all of them. 8 00:00:17,850 --> 00:00:22,450 So let's first graph y is equal to 2x plus 1, and that 9 00:00:22,449 --> 00:00:24,849 includes this line, and then it's all the points greater 10 00:00:24,850 --> 00:00:25,990 than that as well. 11 00:00:25,989 --> 00:00:28,820 So the y-intercept right here is 1. 12 00:00:28,820 --> 00:00:32,259 If x is 0, y is 1, and the slope is 2. 13 00:00:32,259 --> 00:00:35,399 If we move forward in the x-direction 1, we move up 2. 14 00:00:35,399 --> 00:00:40,829 If we move forward 2, we'll move up 4, just like that. 15 00:00:40,829 --> 00:00:42,920 So this graph is going to look something like this. 16 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,969 Let me graph a couple more points here just so that I 17 00:00:45,969 --> 00:00:48,460 make sure that I'm drawing it reasonably accurately. 18 00:00:48,460 --> 00:00:50,179 So it would look something like this. 19 00:00:50,179 --> 00:00:55,429 20 00:00:55,429 --> 00:00:58,380 That's the graph of y is equal to 2x plus 1. 21 00:00:58,380 --> 00:01:02,200 Now, for y is greater than or equal, or if it's equal or 22 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,879 greater than, so we have to put all the region above this. 23 00:01:04,879 --> 00:01:08,490 For any x, 2x plus 1 will be right on the line, but all the 24 00:01:08,489 --> 00:01:10,759 y's greater than that are also valid. 25 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,240 So the solution set of that first equation is all of this 26 00:01:14,239 --> 00:01:20,509 area up here, all of the area above the line, including the 27 00:01:20,510 --> 00:01:22,650 line, because it's greater than or equal to. 28 00:01:22,650 --> 00:01:25,900 So that's the first inequality right there. 29 00:01:25,900 --> 00:01:27,790 Now let's do the second inequality. 30 00:01:27,790 --> 00:01:32,170 The second inequality is y is less than 2x minus 5. 31 00:01:32,170 --> 00:01:35,359 So if we were to graph 2x minus 5, and something already 32 00:01:35,359 --> 00:01:37,280 might jump out at you that these two are 33 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:38,150 parallel to each other. 34 00:01:38,150 --> 00:01:39,340 They have the same slope. 35 00:01:39,340 --> 00:01:43,020 So 2x minus 5, the y-intercept is negative 5. x is 0, y is 36 00:01:43,019 --> 00:01:45,829 negative 1, negative 2, negative 3, negative 4, 37 00:01:45,829 --> 00:01:46,950 negative 5. 38 00:01:46,950 --> 00:01:48,710 Slope is 2 again. 39 00:01:48,709 --> 00:01:50,879 And this is only less than, strictly less than, so we're 40 00:01:50,879 --> 00:01:52,359 not going to actually include the line. 41 00:01:52,359 --> 00:01:57,239 The slope is 2, so it will look something like that. 42 00:01:57,239 --> 00:02:01,250 It has the exact same slope as this other line. 43 00:02:01,250 --> 00:02:04,730 So I could draw a bit of a dotted line here if you like, 44 00:02:04,730 --> 00:02:07,120 and we're not going to include the dotted line because we're 45 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:08,270 strictly less than. 46 00:02:08,270 --> 00:02:12,420 So the solution set for this second inequality is going to 47 00:02:12,419 --> 00:02:15,129 be all of the area below the line. 48 00:02:15,129 --> 00:02:18,669 For any x, this is 2x minus 5, and we care about the y's that 49 00:02:18,669 --> 00:02:20,229 are less than that. 50 00:02:20,229 --> 00:02:23,099 So let me shade that in. 51 00:02:23,099 --> 00:02:28,849 So before we even get to this last inequality, in order for 52 00:02:28,849 --> 00:02:31,609 there to be something that satisfies both of these 53 00:02:31,610 --> 00:02:34,300 inequalities, it has to be in both of their solution sets. 54 00:02:34,300 --> 00:02:38,040 But as you can see, their solutions sets are completely 55 00:02:38,039 --> 00:02:38,639 non-overlapping. 56 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,849 There's no point on the x, y plane that is in both of these 57 00:02:41,849 --> 00:02:42,400 solution sets. 58 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,090 They're separated by this kind of no-man's land between these 59 00:02:45,090 --> 00:02:46,599 two parallel lines. 60 00:02:46,599 --> 00:02:48,710 So there is actually no solution set. 61 00:02:48,710 --> 00:02:50,719 It's actually the null set. 62 00:02:50,719 --> 00:02:51,919 There's the empty set. 63 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,429 Maybe we could put an empty set like that, two brackets 64 00:02:54,430 --> 00:02:55,450 with nothing in it. 65 00:02:55,449 --> 00:02:57,669 There's no solution set or the solution set of 66 00:02:57,669 --> 00:02:59,289 the system is empty. 67 00:02:59,289 --> 00:03:01,289 We could do the x is greater than 1. 68 00:03:01,289 --> 00:03:04,954 This is x is equal to 1, so we put a dotted line there 69 00:03:04,955 --> 00:03:06,930 because we don't want include that. 70 00:03:06,930 --> 00:03:09,069 So it would be all of this stuff. 71 00:03:09,069 --> 00:03:12,389 But once again, there's nothing that satisfies all 72 00:03:12,389 --> 00:03:13,209 three of these. 73 00:03:13,210 --> 00:03:15,629 This area right here satisfies the bottom two. 74 00:03:15,629 --> 00:03:17,789 This area up here satisfies the last one 75 00:03:17,789 --> 00:03:18,500 and the first one. 76 00:03:18,500 --> 00:03:21,780 But there's nothing that satisfies both these top two. 77 00:03:21,780 --> 00:03:23,490 Empty set. 78 00:03:23,490 --> 00:03:23,733
