Textbook Question
In Exercises 27–62, graph the solution set of each system of inequalities or indicate that the system has no solution. x2+y2≤16, x+y>2

Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Identify the inequalities in the system. The first inequality is , which represents all points (x, y) inside or on the circle centered at the origin with radius 6, since \( \sqrt{36} = 6 \).
Step 2: The second inequality is . This represents all points above the line . The line itself is not included because the inequality is strict (>).
Step 3: To graph the solution set, first draw the circle with center at (0,0) and radius 6. This circle includes all points where and the interior where .
Step 4: Next, graph the line . Since the inequality is strict, use a dashed line to indicate points on the line are not included.
Step 5: Finally, shade the region inside the circle that lies above the line . The solution set is the intersection of these two regions, meaning points that satisfy both inequalities simultaneously.
