Solve a system of two variable inequalities with symbolic toolbox

27 views (last 30 days)
Hello,
is it possible to symbolically solve a system of inequalities with variables x and y and plot the result?
lets say i have to solve x+y-25>0 and x*y+y+15>0, what function should i use?
i have tried fimplicit plus assumptions but it didn't work.
thank you

fimplicit does not plot inequalities. Sorry. If you read the help, it never says anything about inequalities.
Simplest is to just use meshgrid. For example...
[X,Y] = meshgrid(linspace(-50,50,1000));
k = (X + Y - 25 > 0) & (X.*Y + Y + 15 > 0);
plot(X(k),Y(k),'.')

hi, sorry to bother you, thank you for your answer.
do you know if there is a way to extract only the boundary of the region highlighted in the figure? i figured i don't need all the points where both inequalities are satisfied but only the curve where they are equal to zero, so the boundary and i need to check how this boundary evolves with some variyng constants.
thank you for your help

What do you mean by "solve" ? The feasible set is given by the set of inequalities, and in most cases it is not possible to find an easier representation.
