7-4 Compound Inequalities Objective: To solve and graph compound inequalities involving “and”
Compound Inequalities • “and” – solution has to qualify for both inequalities at the same time! • Steps: • Graph on different number lines first • Then combine onto one number line Example 1: x < 5 and x > -2 Answer
TOO x > 0 and x < 7
Another way to write “and” Example 2: 2 < x < 4 • read: “2 is less than x which is less than 4” • Split up into 2 separate inequalities • 2 < x and x < 4 x > 2 Answer
Special Cases p < -8 and p > 4 10 – 2p > 12 and 7p < 4p + 9
