(ii) $$\frac { 3 } { x } > 4$$ Figure 1 shows a sketch of the curve \(C\) and the straight line \(l\).
The infinite region \(R\), shown shaded in Figure 1, lies in quadrants 2 and 3 and is bounded by \(C\) and \(l\) only. Given that
  • \(\quad l\) has a gradient of 3
  • \(C\) has equation \(y = 2 x ^ { 2 } - 50\)
  • \(\quad C\) and \(l\) intersect on the negative \(x\)-axis
    use inequalities to define the region \(R\).
