Work Step by Step

Red line: $x^{2}-y^{2}<1$ Blue line: $\frac{x^{2}}{16}+y^{2\ }\le1$ Green line: $x\ge-2$ $x^{2}-y^{2}<1$ This is the equation of a hyperbola, and we have three regions to test (keeping the $y$ value the same): $(-∞, -1)$, $(-1, 1)$, and $(1, ∞)$. We pick the x-values $-2$, $0$, and $2$ (all with a y-value of $0$) to test. $(-2,0)$ $x^{2}-y^{2}<1$ $(-2)^{2}-0^{2}<1$ $4 - 0 < 1$ $4 < 1$ (false) $(0,0)$ $x^{2}-y^{2}<1$ $0^{2}-0^{2}<1$ $0-0 <1$ $0 < 1$ (true, so we shade the side of the line with the point) $(2,0)$ $x^{2}-y^{2}<1$ $(2)^{2}-0^{2}<1$ $4 - 0 < 1$ $4 < 1$ (false) $\frac{x^{2}}{16}+y^{2\ }\le1$ This is the equation of an ellipse. We pick the point $(2,2)$ to determine whether to shade inside the ellipse or outside the ellipse. $\frac{2^{2}}{16}+2^{2}\le1$ $\frac{4}{16}+4\le1$ $1/4 + 4 \le 1$ $17/4 \le 1$ (false, so we shade inside the ellipse) $x\ge-2$ We pick the point $(2,2)$ to determine what side of the line to shade. $x\ge-2$ $2\ge-2$ (true, so we shade the side of the line with the point) The solution set to the set of inequalities is the overlap of all three graphs.
