Solve: NOW, consider TWOfunctions y = Left Side and y = Right Side y = 5x – 3 and y =2
NOTE Blue GraphABOVE Red Graph The y-value of the function corresponding to the Left Sideis greater thanthe y-value of the function corresponding to the Right Side The function corresponding to the Left Sideis abovethe function corresponding to the Right Side x < 1
Solve: x = -2 x = 3
Now consider . . . x = -2 x = 3 x < -2 OR x > 3 For what values of x is the quadratic ABOVE the linear?
Consider the inequality: RedBelowBlue …which is the solution to: A “small” gap for -1 < x < - 0.8 x = - 0.8 x ≥ - 0.8 x ≤ -1 or
Using technology, the intersection points will be . . . All of the early examples COULD be solved algebraically. Now consider (1.73, 0.99) x = - 1.06 OR x = 1.73 (-1.06, -0.87)
Consider the solution to the corresponding inequality. What is the solution for: x2 > sin(x)? (1.73, 0.99) - 1.06 < x < 1.73 (-1.06, -0.87)
Now consider the solution to: (3.54, 4.21) (-0.30, 0.88) (-2.95, 0.30) x = 3.54 x = -2.95 x = -0.30 OR OR
And the inequality: (3.54, 4.21) (-0.30, 0.88) (-2.95, 0.30) x ≥ 3.54 -2.95 ≤ x ≤ - 0.30
