Here are the inequalities that determine the unshaded regions for each graph:

Part a· 2 steps

  1. Identify the horizontal lines that form the boundaries of the unshaded region.

    The unshaded region is bounded by the line y=0y=0 from below and y=3y=3 from above.

  2. Determine the inequalities for the unshaded region.

    The region below y=0y=0 is shaded, meaning y≥0y \geq 0 is unshaded.
    The region above y=3y=3 is shaded, meaning y≤3y \leq 3 is unshaded.
    Combining these, the unshaded region is between y=0y=0 and y=3y=3, inclusive.

    0≤y≤3\boxed{0 \leq y \leq 3}

Part b

−2≤x≤2-2 \leq x \leq 2

  1. Identify the vertical lines that form the boundaries of the unshaded region.

    The unshaded region is bounded by the line x=−2x=-2 from the left and x=2x=2 from the right.

  2. Determine the inequalities for the unshaded region.

    The region to the left of x=−2x=-2 is shaded, meaning x≥−2x \geq -2 is unshaded.
    The region to the right of x=2x=2 is shaded, meaning x≤2x \leq 2 is unshaded.
    Combining these, the unshaded region is between x=−2x=-2 and x=2x=2, inclusive.

    −2≤x≤2\boxed{-2 \leq x \leq 2}

Part c

y≥xy \geq x

  1. Identify the diagonal line that forms the boundary.

    The line passes through (0,0)(0,0), (1,1)(1,1), (2,2)(2,2), which is the line y=xy=x.

  2. Determine the inequality for the unshaded region.

    The region below the line y=xy=x is shaded. This means the unshaded region is above or on the line y=xy=x.

    y≥x\boxed{y \geq x}

Part d

y≤−xy \leq -x

  1. Identify the diagonal line that forms the boundary.

    The line passes through (−3,3)(-3,3), (0,0)(0,0), (3,−3)(3,-3). The slope is 0−30−(−3)=−33=−1\frac{0-3}{0-(-3)} = \frac{-3}{3} = -1. The y-intercept is 0. So the equation of the line is y=−xy=-x.

  2. Determine the inequality for the unshaded region.

    The region above the line y=−xy=-x is shaded. This means the unshaded region is below or on the line y=−xy=-x.

    y≤−x\boxed{y \leq -x}
