Each of the four inequalities given below defines a region in the xy plane. One of these four regions does not have
the following property. For any two points x1,y1 and x2,y2 in the region, the point x1+x2/2,y1+y2/2 is
also in the region. The inequality defining this region is
x2+2y2≤1
max{|x|,|y|}≤1
x2−y2≤1
y2−x≤0
x2+2y2≤1 represents the interior region of a ellipse, where on taking any two points,
the midpoint of that segment will also lie inside that circle.
Max{|x|,|y|}≤1 or |x|≤1,|y|≤1 or −1≤x≤1 and −1≤y≤1
which represents the interior region of a square with its sides x=±1 and y =±1, in which for any two points,
their midpoint also lies inside the region.
x2−y2≤1, represents the exterior region of a hyperbola in
which we take two points (4,3) and (4,−3) . Then their mid- point (4,0) does not lie in the same region (as shown in the figure)
y2≤x represents the interior region of a parabola in which for
any two points, their midpoint also lies inside the region.
