Lesson 1.8 Core Focus onRational Numbers & Equations Linear Inequalities in One Variable
Warm-Up Solve each equation for the variable. 1. 2. 3. h = 4 y = 2 x = 28
Lesson 1.8 Linear Inequalities Solve inequalities with one variable.
Vocabulary Inequality A mathematical sentence that contains < , >, , or to show a relationship between quantities. Nathan has more than $10 in his wallet. n > $10.00 Jackie has run at most 200 miles. j ≤ 200 Good to Know! Inequalities have multiple answers that can make the statement true. In Nathan’s example, he might have $20 or $100, all that is known for certain is that he has more than $10 in his wallet. There are an infinite number of possibilities that make the statement n > $10.00 true.
Inequality Symbols > “greater than” < “less than” “greater than or equal to” “less than or equal to”
Example 1 Write an inequality for each statement. a. Carla’s weight (w) is greater than 100 pounds. The key words are “greater than.” w > 100 b. Vicky has at most $500 in her savings account. Let m represent the amount of money in Vicky’s account. The key words are “at most.” This means m ≤ $500 she has less than or equal to $500. c. Quinton’s age is greater than 40 years old. Let a represent Quinton’s age. The key words are “greater than.” a > 40
Extra Example 1 Write an inequality for each statement. a. Sharon earns at least 8 dollars (d) per baby-sitting job. b. Kenny does less than 10 hours (h) of homework per week. c. Rayanna is more than 48 inches (i) tall. d ≥ 8 h < 10 i> 48
Graphing Inequalities 4 4 4 4 2 2 2 2 -2 -2 -2 -2 1 1 1 1 5 5 5 5 3 3 3 3 -4 -4 -4 -4 -5 -5 -5 -5 -1 -1 -1 -1 0 0 0 0 -3 -3 -3 -3 Solutions to an inequality can be graphed on a number line. For < or >, use an OPEN circle to graph the inequality: x>1 x<1 For or , use a CLOSED circle to graph the inequality: x 1 x 1
Example 2 8 6 2 5 9 7 -1 0 3 4 1 Inequalities are solved using properties similar to those you used to solve equations. Solve the inequality and graph its solution on a number line. Subtract 2 from both sides of the inequality. Multiply both sides of the inequality by 4. Graph the solution on a number line. Use a closed circle. – 2 – 2 4 4
Extra Example 2 Solve the inequality and graph its solution on a number line. 4x + 5 > 21 x > 4
Example 3 Solve the inequality and graph its solution on a number line. 6x + 3 < 2x – 5 Subtract 2x from each side of the inequality. Subtract 3 from each side. Divide both sides by 4. Graph the solution on a number line. Use an open circle. 6x + 3 < 2x – 5 –2x –2x a 4x + 3< –5 a –3 –3 a 4x < –8 a 4 4a x < –2 a 3 1 -3 0 4 2 -6 -5 -2 -1 -4
Extra Example 3 Solve the inequality and graph its solution on a number line. 2x − 5 ≤ 4x − 7 x ≥ 1
Example 4 Solve the inequality. 4x + 7 19 Subtract 7 from each side of the inequality. Divide both sides by 4. Since both sides were divided by a negative, flip the inequality symbol. 4x + 7 19 7 7 4x 12 4 4 x 3 The sign changed direction because both sides were divided by a negative number.
Extra Example 4 Solve the inequality 9 ≥ −3x + 15. x ≥ 2
Communication Prompt Number lines are used to give a visual picture of an inequality statement. What is another situation in math where a visual is used to show math?
