B Looking for free graphing calculator for two-variable inequality

AI Thread Summary
Free online graphing calculators are widely available, but many may not meet specific needs for graphing two-variable inequalities. The user seeks to graph the inequality (1-b)/(1-b/2) < a, where a and b are probabilities. GeoGebra is recommended as an effective tool for this purpose, and it successfully generated the required graph. Other options mentioned include Padowan and MatheGrafix, but the user expresses frustration with finding suitable free software. Overall, GeoGebra proved to be a reliable solution for the user's graphing needs.

TL;DR Summary
Looking for free graphing calculator for two-variable inequality.
I have a two-variable inequality and wish to make a graph of the regions in which it is satisfied. Is any such took available online for free?

A great many free online graphing calculators are available, but I expect the great majority won't do what I want.

Specifically I want to find the regions in which (1-b)/(1-b/2) < a is true, with a and b being probabilities.

Alternatively, if someone has such a tool and can post the graph here that would be nice.

GeoGebra did the trick with ease. Thanks a ton!

(I hate shopping for "free" software.)

It's difficult, some are better, others not, and some require too much practice to use properly. I used them for my challenge threads when I needed a graphic and mspaint is rather limited. Buying software for, say 4 graphics per year is not really an option.

You can download HP prime for desktop use, I believe, for free.
 
Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
Thread 'Video on imaginary numbers and some queries'
Hi, I was watching the following video. I found some points confusing. Could you please help me to understand the gaps? Thanks, in advance! Question 1: Around 4:22, the video says the following. So for those mathematicians, negative numbers didn't exist. You could subtract, that is find the difference between two positive quantities, but you couldn't have a negative answer or negative coefficients. Mathematicians were so averse to negative numbers that there was no single quadratic...
Thread 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'
Here I made a terrible mistake of assuming this to be an equilateral triangle and set 2sinx=1 => x=pi/6. Although this did derive the double angle formulas it also led into a terrible mess trying to find all the combinations of sides. I must have been tired and just assumed 6x=180 and 2sinx=1. By that time, I was so mindset that I nearly scolded a person for even saying 90-x. I wonder if this is a case of biased observation that seeks to dis credit me like Jesus of Nazareth since in reality...
