Definition • An inequality is a statement that two quantities or expressions are not equal www.themegallery.com
Denoting Inequalities • Notation • Endpoints are the extreme limits of the inequality • Closed Interval • Denoted by [ ] • Includes the endpoint(s) • Associated with ≥ and ≤ • Open Interval • Denoted by ( ) • Includes all values up to , but not including the endpoint(s) • Associated with > and < www.themegallery.com
Solving Inequalities • Solve as you would an equation… With three new rules • Reverse the signs (i.e. < to >, etc.) when: • Dividing by a negative number • Multiplying by a negative number • Swapping positions of the variable and final answer • Variable needs to be on the left in the event of a single inequality symbol • Variable needs to be in the middle in the event of two inequality symbols (continued inequality) www.themegallery.com
