Answer
To find the region R defined by the inequalities, we need to graph each one:
Graph x≥0: This represents the right side of the y-axis.
Shade to the right of the y-axis.
Graph x≤2: This is a vertical line at x=2.
Shade to the left of this line.
Graph y≤x+3: This is a line with a y-intercept at (0,3) and a slope of 1.
Draw the line and shade below it.
Graph 2x+3y≥6: Rearranging gives y≥−32x+2.
Draw the line with a y-intercept at 2 and a slope of -2/3, and shade above this line.
The solution region R is where all shaded areas overlap, found within the bounded area of these lines.

Answer
To determine if Geoffrey is correct regarding the point (2, 4):
**Check y≤4x∗∗for(2,4):Substituting,4 \leq 4(2)$ which is true.
**Check y≥21x∗∗for(2,4):Substituting,4 \geq \frac{1}{2}(2)$ which is also true.
**Check x+y≤6∗∗for(2,4):Substituting,2 + 4 \leq 6$, which is not true.
Thus, although (2, 4) satisfies the first two inequalities, it fails the third. Therefore, Geoffrey is correct.
