Solving Inequalities and Graphing 7x – 5 < 6x + 4 x – 5 < 4 x < 9 -5 0 9 Interval Notation (-∞, 9)
Solving Inequalities and Graphing -1 0 1 2 Interval Notation (-∞, 1/5 ]
Solving Inequalities and Graphing 4(x – 3) < 2(2x – 5) 4x – 12 < 4x – 10 – 12 < – 10 All reals Interval Notation (-∞, ∞)
Ex- special case 2 2(3x + 5) > 6(x – 1) + 17 6x + 10 > 6x – 6 + 17 6x + 10 > 6x – 6 + 17 6x + 10 > 6x + 11 10 > 11 NO SOLUTION - no value of x works !
COMPOUND INEQUALITIES“AND” Case 13 < 2x+7 2x+7<17 13< 2x + 7< 17 x < 5 x > 3 3 < x < 5 Interval Notation (3, 5)
COMPOUND INEQUALITIES“OR” case y – 2> -3 or y + 4 < -3 y > -1 y < -7 -7 -5 -3 -1 Interval Notation (- ∞,-7) and (-1,∞)
COMPOUND INEQUALITIES“OR” case OR Interval Notation: All real numbers
