Need help with graphing the following. 2x-y>=4 4x-2y

We'll solve the 1st
inequality.


We'll shift y to the right and we'll subtract 4
both sides:


2x - 4>= y => y =< 2x -
4


The graph of the function y = 2x - 4 is a straight
line.


We'll calculate the intercepting points of the line
with x and y axis.


The line is intercepting x axis if
y=0


2x - 4 = 0 => 2x = 4 => x = 4/2 =>
x = 2


The intercepting point with x axis is
(2,0).


The line is intercepting y axis if
x=0


y = -4


The intercepting
point with y axis is (0,-4).


We'll solve the 2nd
inequality. We'll isolate y to the left side:


-2y <
-4x - 2


We'll divide by -2 both sides abd the sense of the
inequality will be reversed:


y> 2x +
1


The graph of the function is also a
line.


The line is intercepting x axis if
y=0


2x + 1 = 0


x =
-1/2


The intercepting point with x axis is
(-1/2,0).


The line is intercepting y axis if
x=0


y = 1


The intercepting
point with y axis is (0,1).



The
values of x that satisfy both inequalities of the system are found in the interval
(-1/2,2].

What is the meaning of the 4th stanza of Eliot&#39;s Preludes, especially the lines &quot;I am moved by fancies...Infinitely suffering thing&quot;.

A century old this year, T.S. Eliot's Preludes raises the curtain on his great modernist masterpieces, The Love...
