1.5 – Solving Inequalities Students will be able to: Solve and graph inequalities Write and solve compound inequalities Lesson Vocabulary Compound inequality
1.5 – Solving Inequalities Words like “at most” or “at least” suggest a relationship in which two quantities may not be equal. You can represent such a relationship with a mathematical inequality.
1.5 – Solving Inequalities In the graphs above, the point at 4 is a boundary point because it separates the graph of the inequality from the rest of the number line. An open dot at 4 means that 4 is not a solution. A closed dot at 4 means that 4 is a solution
1.5 – Solving Inequalities Problem 1: What inequality represents the sentence “5 fewer than a number is at least 12.” What inequality represents the sentence, “The quotient of a number and 3 is no more than 15.”
1.5 – Solving Inequalities Problem 2: What is the solution of -3(2x – 5) + 1 > 4? Graph your solution. What is the solution of -2(x + 9) + 5 > 3 Graph your solution.
1.5 – Solving Inequalities Problem 3: A movie rental company offers two subscription plans. You can pay $36 a month and rent as many movies as desired, or you can pay $15 a month and $1.50 to rent each movie. How many movies must you rent in a month for the first plan to cost less than the second plan?
1.5 – Solving Inequalities Problem 3b: A digital music service offers two subscription plans. The first has a $9 membership fee and charges $1 per download. The second has a $25 membership fee and charges $.50 per download. How many songs must you download for the second plan to cost less than the first plan?
1.5 – Solving Inequalities Problem 4: Is the inequality always, sometimes, or never true? -2(3x + 1) > -6x + 7 b. 5(2x – 3) – 7x< 3x + 8 NEVER ALWAYS
1.5 – Solving Inequalities You can join two inequalities with the word and or the word or to form a compound inequality. To solve a compound inequality containing and, find all values of the variable that make both inequalities true. To solve a compound inequality containing or, find all values of the variable that make AT LEAST ONE of the inequalities true.
1.5 – Solving Inequalities 3 < x and x < 6 Problem 5: What is the solution of 7 < 2x + 1 and 3x < 18? Graph the solution. b. What is the solution of 5 < 3x – 1 and 2x < 12? Graph the solution x > 2 and x < 6
1.5 – Solving Inequalities You can collapse a compound and inequality, like 5 < x + 1 and x+ 1 < 13, into a simpler form, 5 < x + 1 < 13. Problem 5b: Solve -6 < 2x – 4 < 12. Graph the solution. -1 < x < 8
1.5 – Solving Inequalities k > -1 or k < -5 Problem 6: What is the solution of 7 + k > 6 or 8 + k < 3? Graph the solution. b. What is the solution of 3x > 3 or 9x < 54? Graph the solution All real numbers
