6.5 Objective: To solve inequalities and graph the solution. Linear Inequalities. A linear inequality is of the form. where a, b and c are real numbers. Trichotomy Property For any two real numbers a and b , either a < b a = b a > b. Addition/Subtraction Properties

Linear Inequalities • A linear inequality is of the form where a, b and c are real numbers
Trichotomy Property For any two real numbers a and b, either a < b a = b a > b Addition/Subtraction Properties If a > b, then a + c > b + c If a < b, then a + c < b + c Properties of Inequalities
The solution to an inequality can be shown using a graph 4 4 4 4 1 4
Example: Graph the following • x < 4 • x > -2 • -4 < x < 1
Solving linear inequalities • Get the variable on the left side by itself • Multiplying or dividing both side by a negative number reverses the inequality symbol
Examples • 4x – 7 > 5 • 5x – 3 < 17
Examples 3. 4. – 3x < 21
Examples 5. 6x – 12 > 8x + 2 6. 2(x – 3) + 5x < 3(x + 2) – 14
