Activity 13

OBJECTIVE MATERIAL REQUIRED


To verify that the graph of a given Cardboard, thick white paper,
inequality, say 5x + 4y – 40 < 0, of the sketch pen, ruler, adhesive.
form ax + by + c < 0, a, b > 0, c < 0
represents only one of the two half
planes.

METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION
1. Take a cardboard of a convenient size and paste a white paper on it.
2. Draw two perpendicular lines X′OX and Y′OY to represent x-axis and
y-axis, respectively.
3. Draw the graph of the linear equation corresponding to the given linear
inequality.
4. Mark the two half planes as I and II as shown in the Fig. 13.

DEMONSTRATION
1. Mark some points O(0, 0), A(1, 1), B(3, 2), C(4, 3), D(–1, –1) in half plane I
and points E(4, 7), F(8, 4), G(9, 5), H(7, 5) in half plane II.
2. (i) Put the coordinates of O (0,0) in the left hand side of the inequality.

Value of LHS = 5 (0) + 4 (0) – 40 = – 40 < 0

So, the coordinates of O which lies in half plane I, satisfy the inequality.

(ii) Put the coordinates of the point E (4, 7) in the left hand side of
the inequality.

Value of LHS = 5(4) + 4(7) – 40 = 8 </ 0 and hence the coordinates of the
point E which lie in the half plane II does not satisfy the given inequality.

(iii) Put the coordinates of the point F(8, 4) in the left hand side of the
inequality. Value of LHS = 5(8) + 4(4) – 40 = 16 </ 0

So, the coordinates of the point F which lies in the half plane II do not
satisfy the inequality.

(iv) Put the coordinates of the point C(4, 3) in the left hand side of the
inequality.

Value of LHS = 5(4) + 4(3) – 40 = – 8 < 0

So, the coordinates of C which lies in the half plane I, satisfy the inequality.

(v) Put the coordinates of the point D(–1, –1) in the left hand side of the
inequality.

Value of LHS = 5(–1) + 4 (–) – 40 = – 49 < 0

So, the coordinates of D which lies in the half plane I, satisfy the
inequality.

(iv) Similarly points A (1, 1), lies in a half plane I satisfy the inequality. The
points G (9, 5) and H (7, 5) lies in half plane II do not satisfy the inequality.

Thus, all points O, A, B, C, satisfying the linear inequality 5x + 4y – 40 < lie


only in the half plane I and all the points E, F, G, H which do not satisfy the linear
inequality lie in the half plane II.

Thus, the graph of the given inequality represents only one of the two
corresponding half planes.

OBSERVATION
Coordinates of the point A __________ the given inequality (satisfy/does not
satisfy).
Coordinates of G __________ the given inequality.
Coordinates of H __________ the given inequality.
Coordinates of E are __________ the given inequality.
Coordinates of F __________ the given inequality and is in the half plane____.
The graph of the given inequality is only half plane _________.
