Based on the provided logistics scenario, recall and answer the following:

  1. What is the standard mathematical term for the shared shaded region on Marcus's graph that represents all valid, safe loading combinations (the overlapping solution set of the inequalities)?
  2. In real-world shipping, it is physically impossible to load a negative number of items. To prevent negative values in his mathematical model, what additional inequalities must Marcus recall and include in his system, and what is the technical name for these constraints?
