Which system represents the region in Quadrant I bounded by y=5y = 5 and x=4x = 4?

A

0x4,0y50 \leq x \leq 4, 0 \leq y \leq 5

B

x4,y5x \geq 4, y \geq 5

C

x4,y5x \leq 4, y \leq 5

D

0<x<4,0<y<50 < x < 4, 0 < y < 5

Correct Answer: A

Choice A is the correct answer. Define the rectangular box.

  1. Quadrant I: x0,y0x \geq 0, y \geq 0
  2. Bounded by x=4x=4: x4x \leq 4
  3. Bounded by y=5y=5: y5y \leq 5
  4. Combine: 0x40 \leq x \leq 4 and 0y50 \leq y \leq 5

?�� Strategic Tip: Bounded regions usually imply "between" inequalities.

Choice B is incorrect because it is unbounded (goes to infinity). Choice C is incorrect because it includes other quadrants. Choice D is incorrect because it excludes the boundaries (strict).
