algebraWhich system of inequalities represents the shaded region in the first quadrant bounded by and ?
A
B
C
D
Correct Answer: A
Choice A is the correct answer. "First quadrant" implies and .
- First Quadrant: and
- Bounded by: (left of vertical line 4) and (below horizontal line 3)
- Combine: All four conditions must be met.
?�� Strategic Tip: Always check for quadrant constraints () in geometry problems.
Choice B is incorrect because it shades the wrong directions (right and up). Choice C is incorrect because it includes regions in other quadrants (negative x and y). Choice D is incorrect because it uses inclusive inequalities (solid lines) when strict () were specified, and misses quadrant constraints.
