Problem 114

Question

Write a system of inequalities whose solution set includes every point in the rectangular coordinate system.

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer
The system of inequalities that includes every point in the rectangular coordinate system is \(x \geq 0\), \(x \leq 0\), \(y \geq 0\), \(y \leq 0\).
1Step 1: Writing the inequalities for positive and negative values of 'x' and 'y'
First, considering the x-axis, since it includes all real numbers we write two inequalities: \(x \geq 0\) and \(x \leq 0\). Both of these inequalities put together cover all values on the x-axis. Similarly, considering the y-axis which also includes all real numbers, we write the inequalities: \(y \geq 0\) and \(y \leq 0\) representing all values on the y-axis.
2Step 2: Combine the inequalities
We put together all four inequalities to represent all points in the rectangular coordinate system. So, we find our system of inequalities to be: \(x \geq 0\), \(x \leq 0\), \(y \geq 0\), \(y \leq 0\). This system satisfies the requirement of the question.
