DIRECTIONS:
Determine whether the indicated ordered pair is a solution to the quadratic inequality y < x² + 4x - 5. Justify your answer.
- Substitute the value of x and y to see if the pair is a solution to the quadratic inequality.
1.) A (-2, 5)
[tex]y \: < {x}^{2} + 4x - 5 \\ 5 < ( - 2 {)}^{2} + 4( - 2) - 5 \\ 5 < 4 - 8 - 5 \\ 5 < - 4 - 5 \\ 5 < - 9 [/tex]
- Is 5 less than -9? No, 5 is greater than -9.
- This is not a Solution.
2.) B (6, -2)
[tex]y < {x}^{2} + 4x - 5 \\ - 2 < (6 {)}^{2} + 4(6) - 5 \\ - 2 < 36 + 24 - 5 \\ - 2 < 60 - 5 \\ - 2 < 55[/tex]
- Is -2 less than 55? Yes.
- This is a Solution.
3.) C (-3, 2)
[tex]y < {x}^{2} + 4x - 5 \\ 2 < ( - 3 {)}^{2} + 4( - 3) - 5 \\ 2 < 9 - 12 - 5 \\ 2 < - 3 - 5 \\ 2 < - 8[/tex]
- Is 2 less than -8? No, 2 is greater than -8.
- This is not a Solution.
4.) D (1, -1)
[tex]y < {x}^{2} + 4 - 5 \\ - 1 < (1 {)}^{2} + 4(1) - 5 \\ - 1 < 1 + 4 - 5 \\ - 1 < 5 - 5 \\ - 1 < 0[/tex]
- Is -1 less than 0? Yes, any negative integers are less than zero.
- This is a Solution.
5.) E (2, -2)
[tex]y < {x}^{2} + 4x - 5 \\ - 2 < (2 {)}^{2} + 4(2) - 5 \\ - 2 < 4 + 8 - 5 \\ - 2 < 12 - 5 \\ - 2 < 7[/tex]
- Is -2 less than 7? Yes.
- This is a Solution.
