5. Quadratic Inequalities
Sign In
Since the inequality is not strict, the parabola will be a solid line.
To graph the quadratic inequality, we will follow three steps.
Let's draw the graph of the related function, which is y=- x^2+4x+1.
Next, let's determine which region to shade by testing a point. For simplicity, we will use (0,0) as our test point. Let's see if it satisfies the given inequality.
x= 0, y= 0
Calculate power
Zero Property of Multiplication
Identity Property of Addition
Since (0,0) did not produce a true statement, we will shade the region that does not contain the point. Also, note that the inequality is not strict. Therefore, the parabola will be solid.
