Chapter 1: Equations and Inequalities Lesson 5: Solving Inequalities
Get Ready • Open books to pg. 33 and read section “get ready” • If Kuni knows that she will use no more than 400 minutes per month, which plan is the best for her? • Ans plsn 1`
Key Terms • Trichotomy (tri-kot-uh-mee) Property: For any two real numbers, a and b, exactly one of the following statements is true. • a < b a = b a > b • Adding the same number to, or subtracting the same number from each side of an inequality does not change the truth of the inequality.
Example 1: • Solve 7x-5>6x+4 graph the solution set on the number line • 7x-5>6x+4 • 7x – 5 + -6x > 6x + 4 + -6x Add -6x to both sides • x -5 > 4 simplify • X -5 + 5 > 4 + 5 add 5 to both sides • x > 9 simplify • What will the graph look like?
Key Term • Set builder notation: this is a way that the solution set of an inequality can be expressed. • Set builder notation = {x I x > 9} • This is read “the set of all numbers such that x is greater than 9. • See examples
