Question

Which ordered pair is included in the solution set to the following system?

y > x2 + 1
y < x2 – x + 1


(–3, 4)
(–2, 6)
(0, 2)
(2, 4)

Answer 1

Inequalities help us to compare two unequal expressions. The correct option is B.

What are inequalities?

Inequalities help us to compare two unequal expressions. Also, it helps us to compare the non-equal expressions so that an equation can be formed. It is mostly denoted by the symbol <, >, ≤, and ≥.

The ordered pair which will satisfy both the inequalities will be the solution to the system of inequalities. Therefore, let's substitute each solution in the given inequalities,

A.) (–3, 4)

• y > x² + 1

          4 > (-3)² + 1

Since the first inequality is not satisfied this is not a part of the solution.

B.) (–2, 6)

• y > x² + 1

          6 > (-2)² + 1

          6 > 5

• y < x² – x + 1

          6 < (-2)² - (-2) + 1

          6 < 7

Since both the inequalities are satisfied this is the solution to the given system of inequalities.

C.) (0, 2)

• y > x² + 1

          2 > 0 + 1

          2 > 1

• y < x² – x + 1

          2 < (0)² - (0) + 1

          2 < 1

Since the second inequality is not satisfied this is not a part of the solution.

B.) (2,4)

• y > x² + 1

          4 > (2)² + 1

          4 > 5

Since the first inequality is not satisfied this is not a part of the solution.

Hence, the correct option is B.
