What are inequalities?

Inequalities are mathematical expressions that compare the values of two quantities and show their relationship in terms of being greater than, less than, or not equal to each other. They are represented using symbols such as < (less than), > (greater than), ? (less than or equal to), and ? (greater than or equal to) to indicate the relationship between the quantities being compared.

How are inequalities different from equations?

Inequalities differ from equations in that they express a relationship where one side is greater than, less than, or not equal to the other side, while equations express a balance between two mathematically equivalent expressions. Inequalities represent a range of possible solutions, while equations represent a specific value that satisfies the expression.

How are inequalities graphed on a number line?

To graph inequalities on a number line, first locate the critical points (the values that make the inequality true) on the number line, marking them with open or closed circles based on whether the point is included or excluded in the solution set. Then, draw a line connecting the critical points to show the region that satisfies the inequality. If the inequality is inclusive (e.g., ? or ?), use solid lines; if exclusive (e.g., < or >), use dashed lines. Finally, shade the region either to the left or right of the line, depending on which side includes the solutions, to complete the graph of the inequality on the number line.

What are the symbols used to represent inequalities?

The symbols used to represent inequalities are: "<" for less than, ">" for greater than, "?" for less than or equal to, and "?" for greater than or equal to.

How do you solve inequalities by addition and subtraction?

To solve inequalities by addition and subtraction, simply treat the inequality sign as you would an equal sign. Add or subtract the same number to both sides of the inequality to simplify. Remember to switch the inequality sign if you multiply or divide by a negative number. Simply follow these steps to isolate the variable and find the solution to the inequality.

How do you solve inequalities by multiplication and division?

To solve inequalities by multiplication and division, you simply perform the multiplication or division operation on both sides of the inequality sign. Remember, if you multiply or divide by a negative number, you must flip the inequality sign. Make sure to isolate the variable on one side of the inequality to find the solution and check your answer by plugging it back into the original inequality to ensure it is correct.

What is the difference between solving inequalities with a variable on one side and both sides?

When solving an inequality with a variable on one side, you treat it similarly to solving an equation by isolating the variable. By contrast, when the variable is on both sides of the inequality, you will perform operations to move the variable terms to one side and the constant terms to the other side. This scenario involves considering the relationship between the terms on each side of the inequality symbol and ensuring that the inequality is maintained throughout the process of simplifying the expression.

How do you represent compound inequalities?

Compound inequalities can be represented using the symbols "and" (?) or "or" (?) to connect two individual inequalities. The "and" symbol is used to combine inequalities where the solution must satisfy both inequalities simultaneously, while the "or" symbol is used to combine inequalities where the solution can satisfy either of the inequalities. For example, if we have the inequalities x > 3 and x < 7, we can represent the compound inequality as 3 < x < 7 using the "and" symbol, or as x < 3 ? x > 7 using the "or" symbol.

How do you solve and graph compound inequalities?

To solve compound inequalities, first solve each inequality separately, then combine the solutions based on the given connector (AND or OR). If it's an AND compound inequality, the solution is the overlapping section of both inequalities. For an OR compound inequality, the solution is the combined regions of both inequalities. To graph compound inequalities on a number line, plot the solutions of each inequality and shade the appropriate sections based on the connector. The final graph shows the combined solution of the compound inequalities.

How do you solve real-life problems using inequalities?

To solve real-life problems using inequalities, you first need to represent the problem with an inequality statement and identify the variable you are trying to solve for. Then, you can manipulate the inequality by using arithmetic operations to isolate the variable and find the solution. It is important to consider the context of the problem and ensure that the solution makes sense in the given situation. Finally, you can interpret the solution to determine how it applies to the real-life problem you are trying to solve.
