To determine the solution to the system of inequalities \( y > 3x + 1 \) and \( y \leq 2x + 5 \), we can find the points of intersection and analyze the regions defined by the inequalities.
-
Set the equations equal to find intersections: \[ 3x + 1 = 2x + 5 \] Subtract \( 2x \) from both sides: \[ x + 1 = 5 \] Subtract 1 from both sides: \[ x = 4 \]
-
Substitute \( x = 4 \) back into either equation to find \( y \): Using \( y = 2x + 5 \): \[ y = 2(4) + 5 = 8 + 5 = 13 \] So the point of intersection is \( (4, 13) \).
Now let's analyze the inequalities:
-
For \( y > 3x + 1 \): This represents the region above the line \( y = 3x + 1 \).
-
For \( y \leq 2x + 5 \): This represents the region below or on the line \( y = 2x + 5 \).
Summary of Regions:
- Above the line \( y = 3x + 1 \).
- Below or on the line \( y = 2x + 5 \).
Intersection Points:
Since the inequality includes an open inequality for the first inequality (\( y > 3x + 1 \)), the region above the line does not include points on the line, while the second inequality allows points on the line.
Final Result:
The valid region where both inequalities are satisfied will be where the region above \( y = 3x + 1 \) intersects with the region below \( y = 2x + 5 \).
Any point that satisfies both inequalities will be in the form \( (x, y) \). One such candidate point would be \( (4, 13) \), where we have equality in the second inequality.
However, since we want \( y \) to be strictly greater than \( 3x + 1 \), we can choose a point slightly above this line. For example, a point like \( (4, 14) \) satisfies the conditions (\( y > 3(4) + 1 = 13 \) and \( y \leq 2(4) + 5 = 13 \)).
Therefore, the solution to the given inequalities expressed in \( (x, y) \) form where \( y \) satisfies both inequalities could start as:
\( (4, \text{any } y > 13) \).
Alternatively, give me specific y-values, and I can confirm whether they fit within the constraints!
