For the following exercises, graph the inequality.
1/4 x2 + y2 < 4
Consider the following inequality
1/4x2 + y2 < 4
First, graph the corresponding equation 1/4x2 + y2 < 4. Since 1/4x2 + y2 < 4 has a less than symbol, draw the graph with a dashed line. Then choose points to test both inside and outside the parabola. Let’s test the points (-7, 1) and (1, 2). One point is clearly inside the parabola and the other point is clearly outside as shown in the following graph of inequality:
