Answer

Please see the graph.

Work Step by Step

Orange line: $x^{2}+y^{2}>1$ Red line: $\frac{x^{2}}{4}-y^{2}\ge1$ The orange line and red line will be a dotted line and a solid line, respectively, since the two inequalities (respectively) have a greater than sign and a greater than or equal to sign. The orange line is the equation of a circle with radius 1. If a point is outside the circle, it is part of the solution set. The red line is the equation of a hyperbola. For the hyperbola, we pick three $x$ values (keeping the $y$ value the same) to determine what region(s) to shade. Hyperbola: $(-3,0)$, $(0,0)$, $(3,0)$ $(-3,0)$ $\frac{x^{2}}{4}-y^{2}\ge1$ $\frac{(-3)^{2}}{4}-0^{2}\ge1$ $\frac{9}{4}-0\ge1$ $9/4 \ge 1$ (true, so we shade this region) $(0,0)$ $\frac{x^{2}}{4}-y^{2}\ge1$ $\frac{0^{2}}{4}-0^{2}\ge1$ $\frac{0}{4}-0\ge1$ $0-0 \ge 1$ $0 \ge 1$ (false) $(3,0)$ $\frac{x^{2}}{4}-y^{2}\ge1$ $\frac{(3)^{2}}{4}-0^{2}\ge1$ $\frac{9}{4}-0\ge1$ $9/4 \ge 1$ (true, so we shade this region) $(0,0)$ $x^{2}+y^{2}>1$ $0^{2}+0^{2}>1$ $0 + 0 > 1$ $0 > 1$ (false, so we shade outside the circle) The overlap of the two graphs is the solution set to the system of inequalities.
