TopicInequalities
TypeWrite inequalities from graph
DifficultyEasy -1.2 This question requires reading a graph and writing down two inequalities (one for the line, one for the parabola) by identifying which side of each boundary defines region R. It's a straightforward visual interpretation task with minimal calculation, testing only basic understanding of inequality notation and graph reading—significantly easier than average A-level questions.

The region \(R\) is the unshaded region together with its boundaries. Write down the inequalities that define \(R\).

Question 2:
AnswerMarks Guidance
\(y \leq -2x + 4\)B1 (AO 1.1) SC All 3 but with (correct) strict inequalities B2
\(y \geq x^2 - 4\)B1 (AO 1.1)
\(x \geq 0\)B1 (AO 1.1) Only 2 but with (correct) strict inequalities B1

## Question 2:

$y \leq -2x + 4$ | B1 (AO 1.1) | SC All 3 but with (correct) strict inequalities **B2**

$y \geq x^2 - 4$ | B1 (AO 1.1) |

$x \geq 0$ | B1 (AO 1.1) | Only 2 but with (correct) strict inequalities **B1**

**Total: [3]**

The diagram shows the line $y = - 2 x + 4$ and the curve $y = x ^ { 2 } - 4$. The region $R$ is the unshaded region together with its boundaries.

Write down the inequalities that define $R$.
