Which ordered pair is included in the solution set to the following system?

[tex]\[
\begin{cases}
y \ \textless \ x^2 + 3 \\
y \ \textgreater \ x^2 - 2x + 8
\end{cases}
\][/tex]

A. [tex]$(-4, 2)$[/tex]
B. [tex]$(0, 6)$[/tex]
C. [tex]$(1, 12)$[/tex]
D. [tex]$(4, 18)$[/tex]



Answer :

To determine which ordered pair [tex]\((x, y)\)[/tex] satisfies the system of inequalities:

[tex]\[ \begin{cases} y < x^2 + 3 \\ y > x^2 - 2x + 8 \end{cases} \][/tex]

we need to check each pair against these inequalities step-by-step.

Let's evaluate each pair:

### Pair [tex]\((-4, 2)\)[/tex]

1. First Inequality: [tex]\( y < x^2 + 3 \)[/tex]
[tex]\[ 2 < (-4)^2 + 3 \Rightarrow 2 < 16 + 3 \Rightarrow 2 < 19 \][/tex]
This is true.

2. Second Inequality: [tex]\( y > x^2 - 2x + 8 \)[/tex]
[tex]\[ 2 > (-4)^2 - 2(-4) + 8 \Rightarrow 2 > 16 + 8 + 8 \Rightarrow 2 > 32 \][/tex]
This is false.

Since one of the inequalities is not satisfied, [tex]\((-4, 2)\)[/tex] is not a solution.

### Pair [tex]\((0, 6)\)[/tex]

1. First Inequality: [tex]\( y < x^2 + 3 \)[/tex]
[tex]\[ 6 < 0^2 + 3 \Rightarrow 6 < 3 \][/tex]
This is false.

Since the first inequality is not satisfied, [tex]\((0, 6)\)[/tex] is not a solution.

### Pair [tex]\((1, 12)\)[/tex]

1. First Inequality: [tex]\( y < x^2 + 3 \)[/tex]
[tex]\[ 12 < 1^2 + 3 \Rightarrow 12 < 1 + 3 \Rightarrow 12 < 4 \][/tex]
This is false.

Since the first inequality is not satisfied, [tex]\((1, 12)\)[/tex] is not a solution.

### Pair [tex]\((4, 18)\)[/tex]

1. First Inequality: [tex]\( y < x^2 + 3 \)[/tex]
[tex]\[ 18 < 4^2 + 3 \Rightarrow 18 < 16 + 3 \Rightarrow 18 < 19 \][/tex]
This is true.

2. Second Inequality: [tex]\( y > x^2 - 2x + 8 \)[/tex]
[tex]\[ 18 > 4^2 - 2(4) + 8 \Rightarrow 18 > 16 - 8 + 8 \Rightarrow 18 > 16 \][/tex]
This is true.

Since both inequalities are satisfied, [tex]\((4, 18)\)[/tex] is a solution.

Thus, the ordered pair that is included in the solution set for the given system of inequalities is [tex]\((4, 18)\)[/tex].
