Question:

The solution region of the inequality $2x+4y ≤ 9$ is:

Options:

open half plane containing origin

closed half plane containing origin

open half plane not containing origin

closed half plane not containing origin

Correct Answer:

closed half plane containing origin

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → closed half plane containing origin

This equation represents a straight line in the xy-plane. The inequality includes the "equal to" part (), which means the line itself is part of the solution region. This tells us that the solution region will be a closed half-plane. Further, the origin satisfies the inequality.

Note: The inequality 2x+4y≤9 represents a closed half-plane. 2x+4y=9 is included in the solution. Therefore, since the line is included here, the solution represents a closed half-plane.
