Question

If x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0, then which quadrant holds the solution?

IV

III

I

II

Answer 1

quadrent 1 because they are both positive numbers

Answer 2

Quadrant I

Explanation:

To answer this question we need to know the values of x and y that house each of the quadrants.

• Quadrant one contains values of x greater than zero, as well as values of y greater than zero.

• the second quadrant contains x values less than zero and y values greater than zero.

• The third quadrant contains both x and y values less than zero.

• And the fourth quadrant contains the x values greater than zero and the y values less than zero.

Since we need to find the quadrant corresponding to

x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0

The answer is quadrant I. Because we need the values of x greater than or equal to zero, and the values that y greater than or equal to zero and these are found in the first quadrant.
