1. **State the problem:** We need to solve the system of inequalities graphically and determine if the solution region is bounded or unbounded. The system is:
$$3x + y \geq 15$$
$$x + 2y \geq 10$$
$$x \geq 0$$
$$y \geq 0$$
2. **Rewrite the inequalities as equations to find boundary lines:**
- Boundary 1: $$3x + y = 15$$
- Boundary 2: $$x + 2y = 10$$
- Boundary 3: $$x = 0$$ (y-axis)
- Boundary 4: $$y = 0$$ (x-axis)
3. **Find intercepts for each boundary:**
- For $$3x + y = 15$$:
- When $$x=0$$, $$y=15$$
- When $$y=0$$, $$x=5$$
- For $$x + 2y = 10$$:
- When $$x=0$$, $$2y=10 \Rightarrow y=5$$
- When $$y=0$$, $$x=10$$
4. **Determine which side of each line satisfy the inequalities:**
- For $$3x + y \geq 15$$, test point $(0,0)$: $$3*0 + 0 = 0 \not\geq 15$$, so the region is above the line.
- For $$x + 2y \geq 10$$, test point $(0,0)$: $$0 + 0 = 0 \not\geq 10$$, so the region is above this line.
- $$x \geq 0$$ is to the right of the y-axis.
- $$y \geq 0$$ is above the x-axis.
5. **Find the corner points by intersection of boundary lines within feasible region:**
- Intersection of $$3x + y = 15$$ and $$x + 2y = 10$$:
From $$x + 2y = 10$$, solve for $$x = 10 - 2y$$.
Substitute into $$3x + y = 15$$:
$$3(10 - 2y) + y = 15$$
$$30 - 6y + y = 15$$
$$30 - 5y = 15$$
$$-5y = -15$$
$$y = 3$$
Then $$x = 10 - 2(3) = 10 - 6 = 4$$.
So intersection point is $$ (4,3) $$
- Intersection of $$3x + y = 15$$ and $$y=0$$:
$$3x + 0 = 15 \Rightarrow x=5$$
Point: $$(5,0)$$
- Intersection of $$x + 2y = 10$$ and $$y=0$$:
$$x + 0 = 10 \Rightarrow x=10$$
Point: $$(10,0)$$ (but check inequalities)
- Intersection with axes and constraints for $$x, y \geq 0$$:
As above.
6. **Check which corner points are in solution region:**
- Point $$(4,3)$$:
$$3(4) + 3 = 12 + 3 = 15 \geq 15$$ true
$$4 + 2(3) = 4 + 6 = 10 \geq 10$$ true
$$4 \geq 0$$ and $$3 \geq 0$$ true
- Point $$(5,0)$$:
$$3(5) + 0 = 15 \geq 15$$ true
$$5 + 0 = 5 \geq 10$$ false, so not feasible
- Point $$(10,0)$$:
$$3(10) + 0 = 30 \geq 15$$ true
$$10 + 0 = 10 \geq 10$$ true
$$x,y \geq 0$$ true
7. **Determine boundary points within solution:**
- Intersection of $$x=0$$ with $$x + 2y \geq 10$$:
When $$x=0$$, $$2y \geq 10 \Rightarrow y \geq 5$$.
- Intersection of $$x=0$$ with $$3x + y \geq 15$$:
When $$x=0$$, $$y \geq 15$$.
Since $$y\geq 15$$ is more restrictive, on $$x=0$$, the solution region starts at $$(0,15)$$ upward.
- Check if $$(0,15)$$ satisfies both inequalities:
$$3(0)+15=15 \geq 15$$
$$0 + 2(15) = 30 \geq 10$$
So that point is feasible.
8. **Summary of corner points of solution region:**
- $$(0,15)$$
- Intersection $$(4,3)$$
- $$(10,0)$$
9. **Check if region is bounded:**
The solution region satisfies $$x \geq 0$$ and $$y \geq 0$$ and lies above lines $$3x+y=15$$ and $$x+2y=10$$.
Graphically, the region is the intersection of half-planes to the upper right of these lines and axes.
Because the inequalities are \geq and constraints are $$x,y \geq 0$$ this region extends infinitely to larger $x,y$, so the solution region is **unbounded**.
**Final answers:**
- Coordinates of corner points are $$\boxed{(0,15), (4,3), (10,0)}$$.
- The solution region is **unbounded**.
