Work Step by Step

1. The inequality sign is $\geq $, so we draw a solid border 2. The border, $y=x^{2}-9$ is a parabola , obtained from $y=x^{2}$ by shifting down $9$ units, vertex: $(0,-9),$ opens up, x-intercepts: $0=x^{2}-9$ $0=(x+3)(x-3)$ x-intercepts:$ \pm 3$ Additional points : $(\pm 2,-5)$ 3. Test the point $(0,0)$ $0 \geq 0^{2}-9\quad ?$ $0 \geq -9\quad ?$ Yes 4. Shade the region that the origin belongs to.
