To determine

To Solve: $p+1\frac{1}{2}\ge 1\frac{1}{2}$ and graph the inequality

Answer to Problem 14P

  $p\ge 0$

Explanation of Solution

Given: $p+1\frac{1}{2}\ge 1\frac{1}{2}$

Calculation:

  $\begin{array}{l}p+1\frac{1}{2}\ge 1\frac{1}{2}\\ =>p+1\frac{1}{2}-1\frac{1}{2}\ge 1\frac{1}{2}-1\frac{1}{2}[Subtracting1\frac{1}{2}onbothsides]\\ =>p\ge 0\end{array}$

Graph: The graph is given by
